      “I think I did four performances and I thought I was OK actually! I was really happy to take part in the show, it’s something different, and I was really disappointed when I lost.
      “It was good fun, I did Macklemore, a French song, Sweet Dreams and Wham! – Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go.

      Cristiano Ronaldo’s girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez revealed as Spain’s Masked Singer dressed as Lion

      by

      CRISTIANO RONALDO’S girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez left TV viewers stunned by revealing she was the mystery woman disguised as a lion in the Spanish version of The Masked Singer.
      The 26-year-old brunette kept the celeb panel tasked with trying to work out who she was guessing until the last minute.

      Three plumped for a Spanish presenter and model called Cristina Pedroche and another for Spanish socialite Tamaro Falco.
      They and the studio audience were left open-mouthed as the Juventus striker’s girlfriend removed her mask as they shouted in unison ‘Take it off, take it off’.
      She then repeated the song she had just performed with her animal disguise off and led to her getting voted off the show.
      Her surprise appearance occurred on Antena 3, which is broadcasting Face Mask, as the hit show is known in Spain.

      Rodriguez played the game right up to the last minute by staying with her disguise still on and her voice distorted by a computer: “I really want you to see who I am because you’re still way off.”
      She had previously given away a few clues about who she was with a tantalising video presentation admitting: “I like ham, but good ham.
      “Other pleasures of mine include seeing TV series from my favourite sofa and who knows, maybe one day I’m on the other side of the tele.”
      After the TV audience started chanting her name when she revealed her true identity, she added: “It’s been a great honour returning to my home country to take place in the first programme.

      “I love my country just like I love Iberian ham. I can’t believe how lost you were with all the clues I’d given you.”
      Asked by one of the TV panel if she was referring to one clue where she talked about how much in love she was, she added: “That as well because I’m very much in love and I’ve got a marvellous family.”
      Georgina’s sister Ivana celebrated her appearance on the show by posting clips on social media of the moment she sang with her mask on and the dramatic moment she took it off.
      She wrote alongside footage of the former ballet dancer singing before she revealed her true identity: “Our lion has a very sweet voice to be the king of the jungle. Can you guess who’s under the mask?”

      Georgina’s sister Ivana was proud of her performance
      She added in a second message alongside footage of her sister taking her mask off: “Georgina. What a wonderful fantasy!
      “The presenter and the investigators were amazed and the audience as well.
      “How happy I am at such a job well done. True love to my sister.”
      It was not immediately clear if the programme was recorded before or after Ronaldo discovered he had Covid-19 and was forced to self-isolate at home.
      Georgina made sure she lived in a different part of their Italian mansion with Cristiano’s three children and their two-year-old daughter Alana Martina until he tested negative after missing crunch games with his country and club.
      The Masked Singer premiered on ITV on January 4 2020 with a panel consisting of Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, US actor and presenter Ken Jeong and singer-songwriter Rita Ora.
