The Masked Singer series two finally came to an end tonight (13 February), with viewers choosing Sausage as their winner, and discovering it was none other than Joss Stone all along!
Runner-up in the finale was Badger, who was revealed to be US singer Ne-Yo.
Placing third was Robin. Somewhat inevitably, Robin was unmasked as JLS star Aston Merrygold.
Stone, who also revealed she had been “heavily pregnant” beneath her Sausage suit, closed the show with a rendition of Andra Day’s “Rise Up”. Right before the credits rolled, she giggled: “What a silly show!”
Guesses from the judges that didn’t come to fruition included Fergie, Jennifer Hudson and Demi Lovato for Sausage, Pharrell Williams for Badger, and Olly Murs for Robin.
Judge Rita Ora was particularly shocked at the unmasking of Ne-Yo, as the pair are friends.
Merrygold also revealed that none of his fellow JLS bandmates knew he was participating in the show.
Stone follows in the footsteps of series one winner Nicola Roberts, who also appeared in tonight’s episode as a special guest judge.
The second series of The Masked Singer has been a runaway hit for ITV. Celebrities unmasked in previous weeks included Gabrielle, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Mel B, Sue Perkins and Lenny Henry.
The Masked Singer will return for a third series in 2022, with filming beginning later this year.
Badger says he has experience on a judging panel. Hmm. He also suggests he may be faking that accent of his, and that he’s an awards winner.
Twitter seems convinced Badger is US singer Ne-Yo, who was formerly a judge on the US reality show Master of Dance -- the clues are starting to add up.
Jonathan is convinced Badger isn’t from “Blighty”, because no one actually British says “Blighty”. He thinks it may be Maroon 5’s Adam Levine.
Nicola is convinced it’s Ne-Yo! Says she’d be very starstruck if it is.
Mo thinks Badger may be Anderson Paak or T-Pain, Davina thinks it’s Pharrell Williams (lol), and Rita is still convinced it’s Jay Kay from Jamiroquai (lol x2)
It’s Sausage up next! Shockingly, she reveals she’s been vegan this whole time! Also suggests she’s been “a villain in the past”. An actor?
Davina still thinks Sausage is Ellie Goulding. The “plant-based” clue has led Mo to think it might be Pixie Lott.
