Another week in the wild world of The Masked Singer, and another celebrity has been revealed.

And this Saturday the judges - including guest judge OIly Murs - were totally amazed by who it was.

The panel had to choose who to send home between Dippy Egg and Rat - and they chose to save Dippy Egg.

So it was Rat that had to take off their mask and be revealed as... Strictly Come Dancing head judge, Dame Shirley Ballas.

Did you guess that it was Shirley who was singing? Also do you have any suspicions about any of the other characters? Let us know in the comments below.

This week Rat sang Nellie the Elephant and YMCA before they had to show everyone their true identity.

The judges didn't have a clue who it was and were confused by their Liverpool accent, although Shirley says that as she grew up nearby, putting it on was easy.

When asked if she'd enjoyed being on the show, Shirley said the experience "was one of the best times of my life".

Being Rat was "way outside of my comfort zone," she added, "and I totally loved it!"
