Earlier this year, The Masked Singer crowned its latest winner with Pufferfish being unmasked as major theatre star Samantha.

She beat off competition from Dressed Crab and Wolf who were also revealed to be major stars.

The show's panel - Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Maya Jama and guest judge Danny Jones - were left in awe when Samantha took off her mask to finally confirm her identity.

 

Speaking after she was unmasked, the star said to the panel: "I've had the best time, I've had the best time. Underneath the mask I've been smiling the whole time."

Samantha, 34, rose to fame in Andrew Lloyd Webber's BBC talent show I'd Do Anything.

The programme searched for an actress to play Nancy in a revival of Oliver!

She made her film debut in the 2012 adaptation of Les Miserables, starring Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway.

 

More recently, she has become the biggest West End star since Elaine Page and is famed for playing Elsa in the theatre production of Frozen.

Finishing a close runner-up to Samantha was Dressed Crab who turned out to be soul and jazz star Gregory Porter.
