The Masked Singer's Eiffel Tower has finally been unmasked, as a well known singer revealed their true identity.

Host Joel Dommett confirmed it was none other than singer Tiffany Darwish who was under the costume, after weeks of them performing. While some of the panel and viewers at home had correctly guessed it was the music star, other members of the panel were not so sure.

But as panellists Davina McCall, Rita Ora, Jonathan Ross and Mo Gilligan as well as guest judge Lorraine Kelly watched on, it was finally time to find out who Eiffel Tower really was. 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.

Eiffel Tower was one of the casualties of this week, chosen to be sent packing. As the crowd and the panel chanted the usual "take it off", Eiffel Tower unmasked themselves and revealed they were in fact 80s icon Tiffany.

Tiffany shared she'd "had a blast" doing the show, and said she loved her "beautiful" costume - as the panel told her it was amazing to have her on. She then performed her classic hit I Think We're Alone Now for them, with the panel up on their feet.

Moments earlier, Air Fryer was also unmasked with her revealed to be singer and actress Keala Settle. Keala laughed off the panel failing to guess her, as she revealed she too had had the best time.

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.

Julia 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.
