Your support makes all the difference.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.
Remember Mario?? Whatever happened to Mario? “Let Me Love You” was a bop back in the day. There should be an investigation.
Ne-Yo, sans mask, sings “Wrecking Ball” again. Isn’t Ne-Yo nice? Just good vibes all round.
Mo thinks Sausage is Beverley Knight, Davina thinks she’s Fergie (lol), Nicola thinks it’s Stacey Solomon, Rita says it’s Leona Lewis, and Jonathan thinks it’s Sheridan Smith.
We were so mean to Joss Stone back in the day, weren’t we? God, this show is melting my cold, cold heart.
Second shocker: Sausage has apparently been “heavily pregnant” with a “chipolata” this whole time, too!
Well that’s the end of our live blog. It’s been emotional. Everyone is so nice on this show! What a pick-me-up. Let’s give Joss Stone a comeback now please.
