The Martian mouse is out! The TV journalist Jenke von Wilmsdorff was exposed in the latest episode of the ProSieben show “The Masked Singer”.
In the third episode of the eighth season of the ProSieben show “The Masked Singer” another prominent participant had to leave the show. The Martian mouse was previously unanimously unmasked by the advisory team: Jenke von Wilmsdorff (58) was under the cute plush costume. In the current episode, the journalist performed the classic song “Let me entertain you” by Robbie Williams (49) as an alien animal with an astronaut helmet – and didn’t exactly impress with his perfect singing. However, the Martian mouse put on a strong performance in her farewell performance, thrilling both the audience and the guessing team.
The jury that evening consisted of guests Alec Völkel (51) and Sascha Vollmer (51) from The BossHoss as well as the regular rate duo Ruth Moschner (47) and Alvaro Soler (32). Shortly before the unmasking, all four agreed on Jenke von Wilmsdorff as the hottest tip, even though he was even a guest on the advice team’s side of the show in the first episode. But even this new confusing tactic used by the makers did not let the four jury members abandon their idea. And in the end they were right.
Jenke von Wilmsdorff said after his unmasking that his participation had been “the funniest experiment.” He also had a healthy dose of healthy and realistic self-assessment: “Singing isn’t my greatest strength, but it’s fun.” Also in In a ProSieben interview in the aftershow, von Wilmsdorff was enthusiastic about his participation: “I’m glad that I was able to take part in two great rounds here.”
Uwe Ochsenknecht as a Kiwi is still there
Surprisingly, a celebrity who was involuntarily exposed last week is still at the start: Uwe Ochsenknecht (67) slipped his mask as a Kiwi in the second episode of the current season, revealing his unmistakable face. He performed “Danger Zone” by Kenny Loggins (75) and moved forward one round.
Von Wilmsdorff is the third celebrity to be officially exposed. After the first episode, singer Katja Ebstein (78) was revealed as Okapi, and last week it became known that model Eva Padberg (43) was under the fire extinguisher costume.
