Model and TV presenter Eden Pines, currently a contestant on the new season of "The Masked Singer" on Keshet 12, revealed her husband, singer Oshrat Cohen, was "very surprised, but in a good way" by her participation in the show. Pines stated that Cohen was supportive and not surprised she took on the project, during an interview on the "Shishi BaBoker" program with hosts Galit Gutman and Yoav Limor.
Pines, portraying the "Fire Ant" character, shared her enjoyment of the role and the overall experience, noting how the format was "amazing" and more emotionally engaging than she anticipated. A significant challenge for her was concealing her identity from panelist Ofira Assayag, who knows her well. Pines explained they had to work on altering her body language, walk, and presentation to avoid immediate recognition.
She also discussed the contrast between her own positive personality and the "stinging" nature of the Fire Ant, though she found external similarities in their cheeks, smiles, and large eyes. Pines is also leading a companion segment for "The Masked Singer" on the V1 app, a role that began concurrently with Cohen's appointment as a judge on "The Next Star for Eurovision," also on Keshet 12.
Pines acknowledged the physical difficulties contestants face, including limited visibility and discomfort from the costume and mask, but ultimately found the experience enjoyable. She also addressed speculation about whether Cohen might also be a contestant, stating she doesn't believe it's him, as she can "recognize him from a kilometer away" and "feel his energy."
