Host of the self-titled breakfast show Lorraine Kelly, 61, has taken a swipe at Prime Minister Boris Johnson, 56, over his unruly blonde hairdo. The star was addressing rumours over which celebrities could be starring in the UK version of hit US show The Masked Dancer, when she took the opportunity to liken his hair to that of a scarecrow.

Don’t need a costume

Talking to showbiz presenter Ria Hebden, the star couldn’t resist taking a jibe at the PM after the former spoke of rumours of him appearing on new show The Masked Dancer.

The spin-off of ITV favourite series The Masked Singer will see celebrities showing off their dance moves while in costume, as a judging panel takes their guess at who is underneath the mask.

Despite the PM’s appearance being unlikely, Ria claimed that the head of government could be masquerading behind the scarecrow costume.

Following the suggestion, Loraine jibed: “Don’t need a costume,” in reference to his infamously unruly blonde mop.

As the favourite TV host burst into laughter, she was chided by Ria, who said: “Stop it!”

This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield and Stephen Mulhern are also tipped to be wearing the costumes.

Despite there being no official launch date for the series as of yet, characters taking part include Beetroot, Viper, Frog, Rubber Chicken, Flamingo, Llama and Knickerbocker Glory.

Beagle, Zip, Squirrel, Scarecrow, Flamingo and Carwash will also make an appearance.

Joel Dommett will be hosting the dance show.

The judging panel will be made up of The Masked Singer’s Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan and Strictly Come Dancing professional Oti Mabuse.

Former member of boyband JLS, Aston Merrygold, previously told Express.co.uk that he believes The Masked Dancer’s mystery celebrities will be “difficult” to guess as the UK panel turn detectives for the upcoming dance version of the show.

The star made it to the final of the second series earlier this year after managing to keep his identity hidden for weeks.

Aston believes the dance version of the show will be harder to guess than the singing.

He said: “Dancing is very hard to judge anyway, so trying to judge it and guess who moves like that, it’s going to be difficult.

“I feel for the panel on this one. It’ll be interesting, it’ll be another fun one,” he added.

It comes after Lorraine guest Declan Donnely walked off his guest spot unexpectedly as his appearance turned into chaos yesterday.

Dec spoke with his co-star Ant McPartlin and Lorraine about the latest project they are working on with Prince Charles.

The interview didn’t get off to the greatest start, however, as viewers of the ITV chat show could hear a dog barking in the background.

Unfortunately, as Dec’s pet wasn’t calming down, he had to get up and leave the interview to go and sort out his pooch behind the scenes.
