Joel Dommett, the beloved host of The Masked Singer, 

has revealed that overenthusiastic fans have been turning up at his home, shouting the show’s famous catchphrase, “Take it off!” outside his door.

The popular ITV show, known for its mystery celebrity performances and dramatic unmaskings, has built a devoted fanbase. 

However, it seems some viewers have taken their enthusiasm a step too far—tracking down Joel’s home and chanting outside his house.

Joel and His Wife Consider Moving Due to Security Concerns

Speaking on Rob Brydon’s podcast, Brydon & Joel Dommett, the 38-year-old TV star opened up about how the unexpected attention has forced him to rethink his living situation.

“Well, we’ve got to think about moving,” Joel admitted. “Basically, we’re in a difficult position where we moved five years or so ago—lovely place, like it.”

Despite enjoying their home, Joel and his wife, model Hannah Cooper, have been increasingly concerned about fans turning up and knocking on their door.

“People kept on knocking on my door and running away, shouting ‘Take it off! Take it off! Take it off!’” he explained.

What might seem like a harmless joke to fans has become a distressing issue for the couple, particularly for Hannah, who finds the unexpected visits unsettling.

“Funny to them. Really scares my wife,” Joel admitted.

Adding Extra Security: A Gate and a Hedge

To combat the problem, the TV presenter took action, making changes to his property in an effort to increase privacy and security.

“So we got a gate and a hedge,” Joel revealed.

The decision to add extra barriers highlights how persistent the issue has been for the couple. Even with these security measures in place, it appears that the intrusions haven’t stopped completely, leading to their discussions about potentially moving to a more private location.

The Impact of Fame on Personal Life

As the host of one of the UK’s most popular entertainment shows, Joel has become a household name, leading to increased public interest in his personal life.

The latest season of The Masked Singer has featured huge celebrity reveals, including EastEnders actress Natalie Cassidy. One unmasked contestant was reportedly so upset about being voted off that they stormed off stage. The excitement surrounding the show has clearly spilled over into real life, with some dedicated fans taking things too far.

Rob Brydon Relates to Joel’s Experience

Joel isn’t the only TV star who has experienced unexpected fan encounters at home.

Podcast host Rob Brydon shared a similar experience, revealing that he also had fans shouting outside his home—although the situation eventually died down.

“We had a phase of people shouting outside our front door,” Rob said. “We are near a university. But it’s eased off, and it probably says my ‘star,’ such as it is, is waning.”

Unlike Joel, however, Rob’s situation gradually resolved itself, while Joel and his wife continue to struggle with uninvited visitors.

The Cost of Fame: When Fan Adoration Becomes Too Much

While celebrity status brings perks, including recognition and success, it also comes with intrusions into personal life.

Joel’s experience highlights the darker side of fame, where boundaries between public and private life become blurred.

What starts as fan enthusiasm can sometimes cross the line into personal space, leaving stars like Joel and his wife seeking more privacy.

Will Joel and Hannah Move?

For now, the couple hasn’t made a final decision about relocating. However, with continued disruptions, it’s clear that moving is on the table.

As The Masked Singer continues to dominate Saturday night TV, Joel’s popularity is only set to grow—meaning his need for increased privacy may become even more urgent.

Final Thoughts

While The Masked Singer is all about keeping identities secret, Joel Dommett is struggling to keep his own home life private.

With fans tracking down his address and shouting outside his house, it’s no wonder he and his wife are considering a move.

For now, they’ll have to rely on their new gate, hedge, and patience—but if the visits persist, it might not be long before Joel and Hannah find a new, more secluded place to call home.
