The Cotswolds comedian delighted judges, audience members and viewers at home as she was unmasked on the ITV show tonight.

The Masked Singer returns next Saturday, February 11, on ITV and ITVX at 7pm. Daisy is from [Cirencester](https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/all-about/cirencester), famed for its nearby waterpark and lakes, with one sign at the pool spelling out "RADA" - her alma mater. "I mean, I'm exhausted and absolutely relieved but I loved every second of it. [This Country](https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/celebs-tv/bbc-cotswolds-comedy-country-make-7618673) star, 36, was behind the mask. Following her hilarious performance, judges picked up on clues relating to cleaning, a double act and "don't laugh". Knitting was unmasked as Claire from Steps, before it was Otter's turn to lift their semiaquatic mammal mask. Judge Mo Gilligan was quick to point out that Daisy once attended an awards ceremony in a football kit. Are we still on for the match on Saturday? After plenty of speculation from fans and judges, Otter was finally unveiled as Daisy May Cooper on The Masked Singer tonight, February 4. Don't forget your kit." Otter alluded to a few This Country references, including loving the mundane (Kerry and Kurtan live a very boring life in Northleach) and being "the captain" (Kerry is asked to be the captain by her dad when the pair are playing on the flight simulator in his caravan). [Daisy](https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/all-about/daisy-may-cooper) had been a popular guess amongst fans for some time due to the clues in her VT, with a lot of clips shot at a water park.
