THE Masked Singer judges and viewers were left gobsmacked as two huge stars were revealed this evening.
In a surprising result Bear and Bush were unmasked this evening - missing out on a place in the final.
As Bear revealed his mask- the panel, Maya Jama, Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, and special guest panellist actor Richard E Grant, screamed when they saw Example underneath.
Maya exclaimed: "I knew it!"
Example, real name Elliot Gleave, is an English music star, with a series of top ten hits under his belt – including Won't Go Quietly and Kickstarts.
Later it was revealed that Bush was getting the axe and it was finally revealed that EastEnders legend Natalie Cassidy was beneath it.
Natalie is best known for playing Sonia on the BBC soap, but recently announced she was stepping down from the role.
Fans had been speculating for weeks that it was Natalie behind Bush.
Next week the final three - Dressed Crab, Pufferfish and Wolf - will battle it out to be crowned the 2025 winner.
Example delivered a soulful performance of She by Elvis Costello during the show.
Fellow panellist Jonathanthought it could be documentary maker Louis Theroux, presenter Davina opted for comedian Romesh Ranganathan and guest panellist Richard chose Shakespeare In Love actor Joseph Fiennes.
Speaking after he was revealed, Example said: "I sound like me when I sing my records and I rap like me, so I needed to do something different every week!"
During the show,Natalie gave a joyful rendition of Abba classic Thank You For The Music for her first performance and sang Stay (I Missed You) by Lisa Loeb for her second.
Richard thought it could be Harry Potter star Miriam Margolyes behind the mask and Maya went down the actress route as well with EastEnders' Maisie Smith, which Johnathan agreed to before opting for Coronation Street star Angela Griffin, while Davina went for comic Morgana Robinson.
Following her reveal, the actress said: "It's been one of the best jobs I've ever done."
She added: "I think my little one will love it. My little Alfie, my great nephew, loves the show, so he's going to be thrilled.
"And I think my 14-year-old is going to go either way. She's either going to say 'Mum I'm really proud of you' or 'This is the most embarrassing thing'."
Judge Mo Gilligan, who was absent from tonight’s show, was the first to guess that it was in fact Example.
He said: "I think I've known who this is for a couple of weeks.
"You know why its because of the way they stand - I know this person personally.
"I've seen some music clues, I've seen they can do different types of music genres.
"I see under there I think it's my friend Example."
