Julia Sawalha revealed as Bubble Tea on The Masked Singer UK

Julia Sawalha, known for her role as Saffron ‘Saffy’ Monsoon in the hit show Absolutely Fabulous, was revealed as the mysterious Bubble Tea on the latest episode of The Masked Singer UK. The unveiling came as a complete shock to guest panellist Jennifer Saunders, who had no idea that Julia was the person behind the mask.

Julia, who played the character of Saffron with Jennifer playing her on-screen mother Edina ‘Eddie’ Monsoon, shouted “Mummy!” after her identity was revealed. Jennifer, clearly surprised, exclaimed, “Darling, what are you doing here?!” It was a heartwarming moment of reunion between the two actresses.

During her time on the show, Julia expressed her enjoyment of the experience and revealed that she had been encouraged by a friend to sing more. She mentioned that taking part in The Masked Singer was a way for her to face her fears.

However, some viewers expressed suspicions that the result may have been fixed, as Jennifer served as a temporary panellist on this episode, replacing regular judge Rita Ora. Social media users speculated that Julia was unmasked in front of Jennifer to create a more dramatic reveal. This led to discussions about the authenticity of the show’s outcome.

Despite the speculation, fans of the show took to social media to applaud the surprise unveiling and the reunion between Julia Sawalha and Jennifer Saunders. The moment was described as “iconic” and “absolute camp heaven,” delighting fans of Absolutely Fabulous.

In this week’s episode of The Masked Singer UK, other masked contestants included Owl, Eiffel Tower, Piranha, and Air Fryer. Each performed a song, with Owl ultimately winning the sing-off against Bubble Tea.

The Masked Singer UK has been a popular show, with each episode featuring surprises and unexpected celebrity reveals. This week’s unmasking added to the excitement and anticipation for future episodes.
