MASKED Singer fans were left flabbergasted when they were introduced to Ghost in tonight's launch show.

Viewers questioned if producers ran out of money before creating the character's look.

It was very basic, comprising of a white sheet with large eyes and red boots.

One viewer said: "Obviously run out of budget when it got to ghosts costume."

Another posted: "Whoever ghost is spent their costume budget on stuff other than the costume."

A third said: "Did @itvstudios run out of budget for the ghost costume… it’s literally a sheet."

Judge Mo Gilligan was convinced comedian John Bishop was behind the mask.

While Jonathan Ross was sure Ghost's Scottish accent was fake, and Rita Ora took a punt on it being Love Island's Dr Alex.

The Ghost's final clue, that he is "immortal in a drink with a head" had the panel scratching their heads.

He was eventually unmasked as Chris Kamara, who said of his outfit: "I loved it. It was simple but that’s what I really liked about it. It was hard to sing in though. I never realised how hard that would be. It’s very claustrophobic."
