The Masked Singer star Marti Pellow, who came third as Wolf, appeared on Lorraine today and made a rare confession about his family life.
Marti – the former frontman of Wet Wet Wet – has been with girlfriend Eileen Catterson for decades. However, the pair are never seen in public and he rarely speaks about her.
However, he’s now lifted the lid on his private life in a chat with Lorraine host Christine Lampard. In a rare admission, he told how his “little wolf cub” was “devastated” he didn’t win the ITV show.

The Masked Singer star Marti Pellow on his wolf cub’s disappointment
Speaking to Christine, Marti shared an insight into his private life. Smiling, he revealed his goddaughter’s reaction to him taking part in the show.
Early on in the interview, he told her: “What I loved about it was, the whole point of the show is you could sit down with the family, get some take out food and sit with the generations. Those programmes are a bit thin on the ground.”
He then shared an insight into his family.
My wee goddaughter, she was devastated that I didn’t win. She’s my wee wolf cub.
“You know, my goddaughter, she was so into it. She was like: ‘Is that you?!’ And I’m like: ‘No no, it’s not me.’ I’d pull up to a set of traffic lights or go and do my shopping and people would be howling. ‘Hey Marti, is it you, so I can put it on at the bookies.’”
Later, he shared his goddaughter’s ‘devastation’ that Wolf didn’t take The Masked Singer crown.
“My wee goddaughter, she was devastated that I didn’t win. She’s my wee wolf cub,” he said, flashing his trademark smile.
