The Masked Singer winner was announced tonight after all three acts took to the stage for one last time.
Wolf, Dressed Crab and Pufferfish were the last characters standing going into tonight’s final (February 15). And, soon, host Joel Dommett announced it was time to crown the winner of The Masked Singer…
The Masked Singer winner – Pufferfish
Judges Davina McCall, Maya Jama, Jonathan Ross and guest judge Danny Jones – who won last year – were on hand with their weird and wonderful guesses.
None of the four correctly guessed Wolf’s identity as 1980s heart-throb Marti Pellow. However, they fared better with Dressed Crab – unmasked as Gregory Porter – and Pufferfish.
Pufferfish was announced as the winner of The Masked Singer. And, as the show reached its conclusion, she was unmasked as West End star Samantha Barks.
Davina was especially thrilled at guessing her correctly.

“A worthy winner!” said one. Another agreed and added: “Samantha Barks is an amazing singer her, love her!”
A third commented: “I’m so glad Samantha Barks won.” “I knew it that Pufferfish is Samantha Barks,” said another of the show’s winner.
