Former The Queen actress Jessica Nkosi was the latest celebrity to be voted out on The Masked Singer South Africa season two.
Nkosi managed to melt the hearts of fans while behind the ice-cream mask.
Owl, Ice-Cream, Bue Crane, Boombox, and Gold all competed for a spot in the top eight, and the show’s detective panel, J’Something, Sithelo Shozi, Somizi Mhlongo, and Skhumba Hlophe, brought in an extra pair of eyes to help identify the culprits behind the masks.
Season one’s Watermelon, who is one of the country’s top investigative journalists, Devi Sankaree Govender, joined the panel to help identify the voices behind the masks.
Obscure clue package
From Ice Cream’s obscure clue package leading to her performance, the detectives could only guess that Ice-Cream was possibly an actress who could play many parts, but that she was probably also a mother whose most fulfilling role was looking after her children.
Govender initially thought Ice-Cream might be Cindy Mahlangu from Scandal!, while, body language expert Mhlongo was still hovering between Linda Mtoba and Jessica, as he was convinced that Ice Cream’s dance moves originated in KwaZulu-Natal.
Ice-Cream’s manager pointed out that her favourite time of the year is Christmas, when she goes all out with the celebrations.
Furthermore, they heard that Ice-Cream might be in high demand in her career, but her family is the softest part of her heart.
Once all five masked singers set the stage alight, it was the studio audience’s turn to vote for their favourite.
With that, Blue Crane spread her beautiful wings to the next round alongside precious Gold.
Daughter obsessed with the show
The detective panel huddled to decide which of the remaining three costumed characters they would save.
They granted Owl the opportunity to hoot for another day, leaving Boombox and Ice-Cream in the danger zone.
Once Nkosi was unmasked, she shared that she could not wait for her kids to find out that she was on The Masked Singer South Africa.
“My daughter was obsessed with the show’s first season, and she will be so surprised that Ice-Cream was her mommy, said Nkosi.
