From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum.

Natalie Imbruglia was named the winner of The Masked Singer as she was unmasked as Panda.

During Saturday (12 February) night’s final, Panda went head to head against Robobunny and Mushroom to be named series champion.

Robobunny was eliminated first and revealed to be Westlife’s Mark Feehily.

Mushroom placed second after an “incredibly close” vote and was unmasked as Charlotte Church.

The episode began with the eliminated contestants returning to perform Lady Gaga’s “The Edge of Glory” with the finalists.

In her VT, Panda spoke about trekking and comedy and said that she was a big awards nominee.

She then sang Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space”, with guest judge Joss Stone guessing Lea Michele.

Davina McCall and Rita Ora went for Vanessa Hudgens, Jonathan Ross said Lisa Stansfield (JR), and Mo Gilligan said Jennifer Hudson.
