See Why Ken Jeong Thinks Travis Kelce Might Be The Masked Singer Season 11’s Lovebird (Exclusive)
Travis Kelce nabbed another Super Bowl win this year — and he might be coming for the Golden Mask trophy next.
In PEOPLE’s exclusive sneak peek at Wednesday’s premiere of The Masked Singer, judge Ken Jeong guesses that Lovebird could be the 34-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end.
“When I think of hot leading men, I think of Travis Kelce,” explains Jeong, 54. “He had his own dating reality show, Catching Kelce, of which I was a big fan. I never missed an episode. But Travis has caught the eye of some amazing starlets, most notably Taylor Swift. I know, right? Hubba hubba!”
New panelist Rita Ora has a different idea. “I don’t know a lot about football, right?” concedes the British pop star, 33. “The only football player that I know is somebody that’s very easy on the eye, he was the lead of his own reality show, which makes me think leading man, the clue: Odell Beckham Jr.”
Jeong thinks Ora might be on to something. “He’s got the exact same color hair as OBJ,” The Hangover actor says of Lovebird.
Ora is sitting in for Nicole Scherzinger on the panel this season alongside returning judges Jeong, Jenny McCarthy and Robin Thicke. Nick Cannon will be back as host when season 11 of The Masked Singer premieres Wednesday.
