ITV The Masked Singer fans say Wolf was 'robbed' after star unmasked as 80s legend Marti Pellow
After losing out on a spot in the final two to Pufferfish and Dressed Crab, Wolf finished the ITV singing contest in third place, where it was revealed that he was Wet Wet Wet's former frontman Marti Pellow.
The Scottish singer, 59, who ruled the radio in the late 80s and 90s as the lead singer of the iconic pop band, shocked the judges Maya Jama, Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross and guest judge Danny Jones when he emerged from under the Wolf costume.

Throughout the series, Wolf's clues made reference to having had a tough time in the past and defying expectations to follow their career.
They said: "It's all about new foundations. If you wanna keep a roof over your head, I should know. Not that I'm bitter about the business."
Guesses from the judging panel included Richard E. Grant, Tony Hadley, David Tennant and Mike Skinner.
But whilst many viewers at home guessed it was the 80s star hiding behind Wolf's costume, they fear he was 'robbed' of winning the show.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, after Marti's identity was revealed, @Momrocks50 wrote: "Wolf robbed #MaskedSingerUK," as @Momrocks50 echoed: "Wolf was robbed #MaskedSingerUK."
@vixen_1 said: "Gutted that my fave #wolf didn't win but he will always be a winner to me #maskedsingeruk," as @Paullyie echoed: "Wolf should have won."
@MrLThomas wrote: "How Wolf did not win is beyond. He brought talent and entertainment. #maskedsingeruk," as @MissMarrple agreed: "Away to hell… How's Wolf not in the final?? #maskedsingeruk."
@OrangeDecMan96 also said: "I thought Wolf will win! But no. #MaskedSingerUK," as @Pecks1992 added: "Honestly surprised that Wolf finished 3rd; thought he'd win #maskedsingeruk."

'I thought it was a joke': ITV's weird new reality show Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters release date revealed
Over the years ITV has produced some truly original celebrity reality shows from Splash! which saw celebrities learn to dive in an Olympic pool, to the 2008 series CelebAir which saw celebrities learn to be airplane cabin crew, and Celebrity Karaoke Club, which as the name suggests sees celebs battle it out in a karaoke competition. And coming up now we have potentially the weirdest and most intriguing series yet - Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters. Coming later this month, to coincide with 50 years of the iconic movie Jaws, the new series will feature a group of celebrities who learn to dive and swim alongside sharks. So what is the challenge? And who will be taking part? Here's what to know. Get ready for a truly original reality show. Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters will see seven celebrities take on a variety of shark related challenges. The official synopsis of the show describes it as: "The show will dare a group of ocean-phobic celebrities to confront their greatest fear – sharks. "Throughout their adrenaline-fuelled, challenge-heavy journey in the Bahamas – the shark capital of the world – these A-listers will push past their limits to come nose to nose with nature's 'villains'. "First-hand experiences will provide immeasurable excitement and new perspective; they'll come to appreciate sharks' valuable place on the food chain and in our ecosystem, recognising that a world devoid of these notoriously terrifying creatures is downright frightening." Since news of the show was released earlier this year, ITV viewers have been conflicted over the new series. Some have been loving it, with many taking to social media to praise the celebs taking part and facing their fears. While others are a bit more confused over the concept, with one person writing on X: "I thought it was a joke and wasn't taking the bait," while another simply asked: "why?" Either way we will definitely be glued to our TV. There's seven very well known names taking part in the show, and here's who they are: There's not long to wait for the release of Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters as the series begins at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVx on 14 July. The full series will then be available to stream immediately on ITVX. Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters is available on ITV1 and ITVX from 14th July

Charles tries award-winning whisky during Campbeltown visit
The King kept out the cold with a dram of whisky when he visited a Scottish town famous for its distilleries. With wind and rain making the summer visit to Campbeltown feel like autumn, Charles readily sipped an award-winning 25-year-old single malt by the Glen Scotia distillery. He wore his own King Charles III tartan kilt for the visit to the town which made its fortune producing whisky which was sold around the globe and is now making a resurgence. More than a thousand people stood behind crash barriers to see the King tour the town. He first visited the local farmer's market where he watched sheep being sheared, met charity and community organisations in the town hall where the distillery had a stand, and finally visited the harbour area. Charles is known to like whisky produced using peat, which has a very distinctive flavour, and he asked Iain McAlister, master distiller and manager of Glen Scotia's distillery in Campbeltown: 'Is it a peaty one?' and was told it was not. He watched as a double measure from the whisky, costing more than £500 a bottle, was poured, and after taking a sip said: 'I'm always so amused by these people who describe these whiskys in the most amazing ways.' On the distillery's website the whisky is described as having 'hints of vanilla oak interwoven with the subtle notes of sea spray and spicy aromatic fruits'. Mr McAlister presented a bottle of the whisky to mark the visit and said afterwards: 'It doesn't get much better than this, having the King try our whisky.'

Katie Price and Peter Andre's fiery row over daughter Princess's documentary
Katie Price and Peter Andre are locked in a bitter argument over their daughter Princess's ITV documentary The Princess Diaries. Princess is taking centre stage of her own fly-on-the-wall series as she follows in her famous parents' footsteps into the spotlight. By the age of 20, the 18-year-old would like to be a millionaire. Former glamour model Price, 47, has been banned from filming alongside her daughter in the documentary, meaning she was banned from attending her daughter's 18th birthday party because it played out in front of the cameras this week. Andre's management CAN Associates are behind the documentary, the same company who looked after Price when the famous exes were in a relationship. CAN were behind the big deal for their ITV reality series Katie And Peter that made them millions. Since their split in 2009, Price has been feuding with Andre and his management. Princess's reality series will focus only on her life with the Andre side of her family, as well as her brother Junior. The siblings live with their dad Peter Andre, his wife Emily and their three children: Amelia, 11, Theo, eight, and Arabella, one. Mother-of-five Price also has three other children from former relationships: Harvey, 23, Jett, 11, and Bunny, 10. ITV have no comment on Price being banned from the series. Speaking from Dubai, Price appeared to take aim at Andre and his management on her latest episode "A First Class B****" on The Katie Price Show podcast with her younger sister Sophie on Thursday. Conversation turned to her daughter celebrating her 18th birthday and making her documentary. "Officially mummy and Princess can go out together. Isn't it?" Price said. "If certain people would let her be seen with me." Price later added: "Just cos everyone knows she's doing this documentary. I'm not in. But we'll talk about that nearer the time. Certain people don't think it's good for Princess to be seen with me. Certain people who used to look after me." Sophie explained why she thought Price had been banned from the documentary. "You're not on brand Kate," Sophie said. "You're not on brand, you're too risky." Price hit back: "It's pathetic, I'm her mother, it doesn't affect mine and Princess' relationship. But it's so sad when certain people used to be around me and looking after me, are now looking after Princess." Being barred from filming meant Price was unable to go to Princess' 18th birthday party. "I wasn't invited because it was for filming," she told her sister. "I'm like oh they're making you do that!" Sophie responded: "I wonder what restaurant has done that for free." Price vented her frustration as she confided in her sister (and her podcast listeners). She said: "Of course mummy wasn't invited because it was for filming... The fact there is stuff my daughter is doing but I'm not allowed to be seen in any of it because it's for filming, then certain people who are filming her used to be in charge of my filming. "That's all I'm saying on it. That's fine. Conflict of interest. People will cotton onto it. So yeah we've got to do something for Princess' 18th. I did say did she want a blow up club in the garden. But she's like nah." Price hoped that Princess will be able to join them in the Isle of Wight while visiting her mum Amy. Filming is underway for Princess's documentary The Princess Diaries where the spotlight will be on the famous offspring. It will take people behind the closed doors of the Andre home. Princess told OK! magazine in June: "It's an ITV show that will be about me and the Andre side of the family. It'll be going beyond what you see on Insta or TikTok, this will be all of me. I'm going to be very real." The model has always been in her parents' TV shows but now she will be a star in her own right. "Now it's about me," she said. "It'll be weird not focusing on my dad. He and Emily will be on it, though, in the background. And Junior too. We're great together, we really bounce off each other well, so he'll be a big part of it. Mainly, I want people to see I'm a good person." Princess said she wants to be a good rolemodel for her three younger sisters. Yahoo UK has reached out to Andre's representatives CAN for further comment.
