Michael Owen says he was more nervous on The Masked Singer than World Cup

FOOTIE pundit Michael Owen says he was more nervous on The Masked Singer than when taking a penalty for England in the World Cup.

The ex-Liverpool star, 42, was revealed as Doughnuts in Saturday’s double exit, with actress Jaime Winstone, 36, unmasked as Firework.

Owen, a spot-kick scorer against Argentina in 1998, said: “A World Cup penalty can make or break your career.

“But when you go before a live audience and double figure millions at home… I can’t tell you how much you go numb.”

He believes he was the show’s worst singer.

Owen said: "You need someone who’s going to laugh at themselves and not take themselves too seriously.”

“I amused myself by how bad a voice I’ve got but then how much the crowd took to the character and how I was playing to the character.”

"Everyone can say on that show, you need someone that’s going to laugh at themselves and not take themselves too seriously.

“So I think my character was different to everyone else’s because of that.”
