Media – Cologne – Pipe is exposed: Thomas Hayo out on “Masked Singer” – media
Cologne (AP) – The whistle does not continue to whistle: The creative director and long-standing “Germany’s Next Topmodel” juror Thomas Hayo retired disguised as a whistle in the ProSieben music show “The Masked Singer”. The 53-year-old, who sat next to Heidi Klum on the GNTM jury until 2018, received too few votes from the viewers on Saturday evening and therefore had to reveal his identity. “It’s a dream,” Hayo said after his exposure. “You can finally do what you usually do in the shower here and you don’t have to be ashamed of it.”
A member of the prominent rate team had already tracked Hayo down: According to her own words, Ruth Moschner (46) heard a slight dialect under the mask and therefore guessed the native Saarlander. Her team member Ross Antony (48) identifies the actor and musician Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht (30), while Yvonne Catterfeld (42) identifies the footballer Sami Khedira (35) under the suspected costume. Ochsenknecht was also the favorite in the online public vote.
Celebrities appear as singers in the music show, but hide their identities behind opulent costumes. Only gradually are they revealed. In the forthcoming fourth episode of the current season, a black mamba, a werewolf and a robot, among others, will now compete against each other.
