However, sadly, it was Teeth, who was eliminated and they were unmasked as Mel Giedroyc after going against fellow contestant Bear.
Taking to Twitter, now X, viewers were quick to share their surprise, admitting they had no idea it was Mel, 56, who is best known for hosting The Great British Bake Off when it was on BBC.
One person said: “Well that’s hilarious, I had absolutely no idea it was Mel #TheMaskedSinger”, a different account put: “Love Mel she’s such a lovely funny lady fair play to her! #TheMaskedSinger”, another wrote: “I am obsessed with Mel being Teeth #TheMaskedSinger” while a different viewer added: “mel giedroyc on the masked singer WHATTTT #TheMaskedSinger.”
Talking after the reveal, Mel said: “I’ll take Su Pollard! It’s so nice to see you guys. I love these teeth so much! I was very pleased with Alex Scott. Such a fun show, it’s impossible not to have fun on this show!”

She added during a post show interview on The After Mask with Harriet Rose: “Oh my God, I feel really elated actually. I blooming loved it! I’m sad because my next song was The Pointer Sisters Automatic done as Marlene Dietrich. That would have been fun.”
Mel continued: “Listen, if you told me you’re going to have a chance to sing the Neighbours theme tune dressed as an enormous pair of wind up teeth with pink tights and big pink flapping feet, I would say I could stop my career now. For me that is the pinnacle!”
Asked whether her close friend and co-star Sue Perkins had told her to do the show – Sue, 55, appeared on the show in 2021 as Dragon – Mel said: “She doesn’t know!”, adding: “No, because she didn’t tell me. She was a Dragon and she never told me. So right back at ya girlfriend.”
Mel admitted she only told her husband about the show, confessing: “He took it really seriously. The level of training he took me through at home!”
The Masked Singer airs on Saturdays at 7pm on ITV1, ITV X & STV.
