ITV has issued an apology over Jonathan Ross’s recent “Masked Singer UK” remarks.
Ross sparked outrage on social media after suggesting a celebrity dressed as Daisy, later revealed to be Kelis, was Natalie Cole.
However, Cole died in 2015 at age 65.
ITV said, according to the BBC: “This was a genuine mistake by the panel. We apologise if this caused any upset to viewers.”

Kelis performed “Unforgettable”, which was released by both Nat King Cole and his daughter.
Ross’s comments got everybody talking online. Piers Morgan also had his say, as per usual.

Kelis said of why she decided to take part in the show: “People have just been telling me my voice was distinct my whole career, so I thought, Well let’s see just how distinct it is.”
