Tottenham Hotspur fans will be surprised to hear what Toby Alderweireld has been up to after hanging up his boots back in the summer.If asked to describe Alderweireld, most Spurs fans will say that he is a composed, solid, no-nonsense professional who is anything but flashy.The 36-year-old spent six years at Tottenham and was a reliable performer for the Lilywhites, for whom he played 236 times.He formed a superb partnership at the back with his compatriot, Jan Vertonghen, with that backline being one of the primary reasons for the club’s success under Mauricio Pochettino.After leaving Spurs in 2021, the Belgian spent a short period at Qatari side Al-Duhail before returning to his boyhood club, Royal Antwerp, for whom he played until he retired from the game back in May.Photo by Gerrit van Keulen/Soccrates/Getty ImagesTottenham legend Toby Alderweireld unmasked ‘eagle owl’ on The Masked Singer It turns out that the former Spurs player has been trying his hand at reality television post-retirement. This week, Alderweireld was unmasked as the eagle owl in Belgium’s version of The Masked Singer on Friday.The centre-back sang songs such as The Killers’ Mr Brightside and other classics during his time in the show with a giant owl head, which is appropriate given that Royal Antwerp’s mascot is an owl and the club’s stadium, Bosuilstadion, is also called The Owl’s Nest.Aldereweireld was finally unmasked in the most recent episode as his run in the show came to an end.Watch the former Spurs man’s performance of Mr Brightside below:Alderweireld reacts to being eliminated from the showThe former Tottenham man admitted that he was disappointed that his run finally came to an end last week, but confessed that he thoroughly enjoyed the experience.He said on the show: “This hurts a little bit.

I look back on it with a big smile.”The 36-year-old also took to social media to admit that he had a ball performing in disguise for many weeks.He wrote on Instagram: “And that’s a wrap for me on The Masked Singer!
