The Masked Singer judge Urzila Carlson reveals the subtle hints that give away a star's identity... and they have nothing to do with the cryptic clues or performances
Urzila Carlson replaced Lindsay Lohan as a judge on The Masked Singer this season.
And it seems the 44-year-old comedian hasn't wasted any time developing a keen eye for guessing the celebrities behind the masks.
She told Who magazine on Thursday that she paid close attention to less-obvious clues, such as the singer's body type and even their gait.

'Rather than focus on the voice, I've been studying people's height and body shapes. So if some big muscular guy is in the costume, he could be a rugby player,' she said.
'If the person looks like they could run underneath a coffee table, it's probably Dannii Minogue trying on a costume!' she joked.
Urzila also admitted that she did 'CSI-level' investigating on the Instagram accounts of local celebrities.

'If certain Australian-based celebrities had big gaps between posts, could it be because they're at a photo shoot in a hammerhead costume? See? I told you I went totally CSI on this,' she added.
After filming the majority of the show in Melbourne, Urzila recorded her parts for the season finale from a hotel room in New Zealand on Tuesday night.
Meanwhile, host Osher Günsberg and fellow panellist Jackie 'O' Henderson filmed their bits from Sydney, and Dave Hughes and Dannii Minogue stayed in Melbourne.
