Davina McCall is accused of cutting her new fringe ‘with a knife and fork’ on The Masked Singer

The Masked Singer returned with a subtle twist on Sunday night, and it had absolutely nothing to do with the blockbuster format of the wacky show.

Reprising her role as a celebrity judge alongside Rita Ora, Jonathan Ross and Mo Gilligan, Davina McCall divided fans as she showed off a spectacular new hairstyle as season four of the weird and wonderful ITV show kicked off.

With severe bangs replacing her usual center parted look, the 55-year-old TV personality drew the inevitable attention of fans as she sized up this year’s array of heavily costumed contestants.

Commenting on her new look, some made uncharitable comparisons to Gale Weathers, the fictional newscaster played by Courteney Cox in Wes Craven’s popular Scream franchise.

On Twitter, an amused viewer shared a photo of Cox in character as the precocious journalist, with the caption: “Davina giving Scream 2 vibes.”

While a second quipped: “Davina McCall may be a queen, but even she can’t get away with cutting bangs with a knife and fork…”
