Masked Singer's Air Fryer exposed as Keala Settle just week before final
The Masked Singer's Air Fryer was finally unmasked in the latest episode of the ITV series.
Keala Settle was confirmed to be under the mask during the semi-final on Saturday night, with host Joel Dommett confirming the news to the panel and viewers. As semi-finalists Cricket, Bigfoot, Air Fryer, Piranha and Eiffel Tower all took to the stage a week before the final, they learned two of them would be going home.
One of those character was Air Fryer and the The Greatest Showman singer and star Keala soon revealed their true identity. She also revealed all the obvious clues, and how she found it funny that no one worked her out.
Panellists Davina McCall, Rita Ora, Jonathan Ross and Mo Gilligan as well as guest judge Lorraine Kelly watched on, applauding the axed contestant just one week before the final. Many viewers at home had guessed correctly before the star was identified, while the panel seemed to find it a lot more difficult.

It comes after a number of eliminations since the series began in December, with the first double exit airing last week. Last weekend we saw Dippy Egg unmasked as Davina’s pal Nicky Campbell in an emotional moment.

Nicky burst into tears as he performed, with Davina also crying at the sweet performance. That same night, Pussycat Dolls singer Melody Thornton was unmasked as Maypole.
Like with Nicky, none of the panel guessed Melody was under the mask, while Rita said it was obvious once she realised. The week before Melody’s unmasking, Owl was revealed to be ITV ’s Lorraine Kelly, who happened to be a guest panellist on the show in the latest episode.
Keala soon revealed her true identityJulia Sawalha was another name unmasked on the series, with her confirmed to be Bubble Tea last month. Meanwhile, Rat was unmasked as Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas a few weeks ago. Speaking about joining The Masked Singer, she said: "The worst part of performing in the costume is the head gets very hot, it feels quite claustrophobic.
“The best thing is that I’ve fallen in love with Rat and actually don’t want to leave him. I want him to be in my house! He’s a character I will hold close to my heart forever. I enjoyed my journey with Rat!"
The week prior it was revealed that Chicken Caesar was Alexander Armstrong. The TV star and comedian is known for the likes of Pointless, Armstrong and Miller and Classic FM. Explaining the slew of clues on the show, it was revealed the BRIT Award was actually the Classic BRIT Awards, which Alexander hosted.
Other clues included: "I'm a great Roman Explorer", which was a nod to presenting the documentary Rome's Invisible City. Elsewhere, "LXX is 70 in Roman numerals, a reference to Alexander's year of birth 1970", "Chicken Caesar's accent was a nod to Alexander being born in the North East" and "history and friend in the city, hinted to starring in Horrible Histories: The Movie with Kim Cattrall".
In week one, Weather unmasked as Dionne Warwick on the series. Music icon Dionne left the panel starstruck as she unveiled herself as the star under the costume.
She then shared her joy at being asked to do the series, but admitted the struggles she faced trying to disguise her voice on the show. Clues included being powerful and dominating, and weathering the storm - as well as references to Blues music.
