Masked Singer final: Queen Bee Nicola Roberts joins the judging panel tonight

But will she guess who's behind the mask?

The winner of last year’s The Masked Singer, Nicola Roberts, has returned for tonight’s final (February 13).

The former Girls Aloud singer made her comeback but, this time around, she wasn’t in her Queen Bee costume.

Instead, Nicola joined the judging panel as an extra-special guest.

Why is Nicola Roberts on The Masked Singer final?

Nicola won the first series of The Masked Singer this time last year.

She wowed the judges with her impressive singing skills, which she hid behind her Queen Bee character.

This year, however, the tables have turned for Nicola, and she got a chance to find out how the show works from the judges’ perspective.

And she looked entirely stunning as she took her seat, wearing a nude ethereal sparkly dress with her hair piled on top of her head in an elegant up do.

Enjoy the reveal and being able to finally reply to all of your friends and family who you have no doubt been ignoring and lying to for the last seven weeks!

As a result, viewers saw her on screen alongside Davina McCall, Rita Ora and Jonathan Ross who all judged her last year.

Newcomer Mo Gilligan was also on hand to welcome the flame-haired singer to the bench.

What’s Nicola like as a guesser?

From pictures Nicola posted on Instagram, fans guessed she didn’t do too good a job of guessing who was behind the mask.
