    The hit series returned to ITV recently for its seventh season, and is already more than halfway through. In the show, famous faces conceal their identities under elaborate costumes and belt out pop songs each week, while judges and viewers at home try to work out who is under the mask.

    Already, eliminated contestants have included The One Show‘s Alex Jones, rapper Professor Green, Shakespears Sister singer Marcella Detroit, and Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon.

    In the latest episode, it was the person performing under the Monkey Business disguise that was eliminated and revealed to be singer-songwriter Kate Nash.

    The ‘Foundations’ singer was booted from the show after performing a cover of ‘As Long As He Needs Me’ from the classic musical Oliver!, in front of judges Jonathan Ross, Maya Jama, Mo Gilligan, Davina McCall, and Little Mix star Perrie Edwards.

    Upon being unveiled, Nash told host Joel Dommett that she “really enjoyed” taking on the Monkey Business alias. “As soon as I saw the costume, I thought she was iconic,” she said.

    “I was so nervous about it, but then I got really nervous about the mask coming off and how it was going to feel singing without the mask,” she added. “It’s like a little comfort zone, you’re not worrying about anything else when you’re in there. It was a unique experience [and] it’s going to be hard to give her up.”
