VIEWERS of The Weakest Link were left taken aback when a current UK chart star made an appearance on the programme.
The singer attended the Grammy Awards just days ago and has received multiple nods for this month’s Brit Awards but still found time to take part in the BBC quiz show.
PinkPantheress, whose real name is Victoria Walker, is arguably at the peak of her music career following an incredibly successful year.
Yet, she could be seen mingling with Brit TV regulars on Saturday night in a VERY surprising appearance on quiz staple, The Weakest Link.
The singing star took part in the quiz alongside celebs including Love Island star Luca Bish, comedian Alex Brooker and TV chef, Anna Haugh.
Taking to X, many fans were left mind-blown that the programme had secured such a huge and unusual name for the competition.

Writing in shock, one fan said: “They’ve got Pink Pantheress on the Weakest Link. I love British TV.”
Another added: “PinkPantheress going from the Grammys to the weakest link in the same week, she just says yes to anything.”
A third mused: “Why is PinkPantheress on #TheWeakestLink omg??!?!? DIVA.”
A fourth went on to add: “Loool what is Pink Pantheress doing on the weakest link and why is she actually doing alright.”
The comments of surprise continued to flood in with another penning: “PinkPantheress randomly being on the weakest link uk.”
As someone else echoed: “Pink Pantheress just doing side quests atp.”
Last weekend, she made a splash at the Grammy Awards where she mingled with music’s biggest names.
She even went viral after an uncouth red carpet moment in which she appeared to excitedly growl at a reporter without realising she was live on air in a moment that went viral on TikTok and X.
The musician has had a major year following the release of her acclaimed Fancy That mixtape and it’s follow-up remix album.
It launched viral hits including Tonight, Illegal and Stateside.
The remix to her track Stateside with Zara Larsson became a US Top 40 hit and is among the current 100 most streamed songs in the world.
The singer has also collaborated with Jade Thirlwall, Kylie Minogue and Sugababes in recent months after completing a sell-out world tour.
She’s also made a splash for herself in fashion after appearing in a campaign for Kim Kardashian‘s brand Skims as well as attending last year’s Fashion Awards.
Later this month she will be hoping to take home the prize for the acclaimed Artist of the Year at the Brits as well as Best Dance Act.
