Clemens Schick revealed as Harry Otter – finale without him!

Viewers experienced exciting moments on Cologne television this week. In the music show “The Masked Singer” the actor Clemens Schick was unmasked as Harry Otter. For the 44-year-old, who presented himself in a dazzling magician costume, the competition ended in the fifth episode. Despite his efforts to wow the audience with his performance, he did not receive enough votes and had to reveal himself on December 7, 2025, ahead of the highly anticipated finale on December 13.

The jurors threw their tips into the race and were partly right: Verona Pooth and Chris Tall recognized Schick, while Alvaro Soler bet on Daniel Brühl. The audience hit of the show was clearly “Sweet Caroline,” which Schick performed together with “Major Tom.” However, many spectators had sent Klaas Heufer-Umlauf into the race as a sorcerer's apprentice. Schick himself felt a lot of joy playing the otter, even if singing gave him some insecurity.

The competition continues

But there's no reason for the fans to be sad! In the finale on December 13th, the remaining four masked stars – “Rave-ioli”, “Eggi”, “Muuhnika” and “King” – will fight for the coveted title. The show, which has been broadcast since 2019, continues to cause excitement. In the current season, the costumes the contestants wear are as crucial as their singing skills. It remains exciting to see what surprises the finale will have in store.

For all reality TV fans, the exciting format “The Masked Singer” could potentially serve as a springboard to discover new facets of the genre.
