They opted to save Dressed Crab, meaning Tattoo was unmasked - and it was a shock.
Huge 80s star Carol Decker, of pop band T'Pau, was revealed to be behind the mask.
Speaking after her exit the China in Your Hand singer said: "I’ve loved it and I’m going to say, I’m gutted!
"Everybody is amazing. I’m gutted because it’s the best fun ever."

Fans were convinced they’d worked out his identity as multi-Grammy Award winning legend Gregory Porter.
Meanwhile Tattoo took to the stage with her own rendition of The Killers’ Human.
Teeth followed on the superhero special week singing Dua Lipa’s hit Houdini - but the judges were left stumped with guesses.
The next star to take to the stage was Kingfisher who delighted the judges and audience with his version of Iris from The Goo Goo Dolls.
Snail was the final hidden star to sing with their version of Take That’s Rule the World.
The show was much less dramatic than last week’s edition when singer Macy Gray stormed off after being voted off the show.
She initially refused to reveal her identity before returning to the stage for a very awkward unmasking.
Dressed as Toad In The Hole – complete with a pie around her middle – Macy was left “blind-sided” when she was saved in favour of the currently unrevealed Bear because they believed they knew who she was.
When Jonathan Ross announced they would be going home, Macy, while still in full unrevealed costume, walked off stage to the shock of the judges including Maya Jama and Mo Gilligan.

Fans later branded the moment “f**king awkward” and a “diva strop”.
This was Macy's third time appearing on the franchise, first giving the guessing game a shot in 2021 when she appeared on the Australian version of the show as Atlantis.
A source revealed to The Sun that because Macy reached the final of the US version as Sea Queen in 2023, she was “totally blindsided” to be one of the first to leave this series.
In fact bosses were left scrambling for nearly an hour to coax Macy back on stage - none of which was seen on screen.
T’Pau’s rise
Brit singer and songwriter Carol turned T’Pau into one of the most celebrated acts of the 80s, thanks to her distinctive voice and commanding stage presence.
The band, which she founded with guitarist Ronnie Rogers in 1986, was named after a Vulcan elder from Star Trek and became synonymous with the anthemic, catchy sounds that defined their era.
The band was formed in Shrewsbury, England, and quickly gained fans with their unique blend of pop and rock.
Their breakout single China in Your Hand became a cultural phenomenon, spending five weeks at No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart in 1987.
The song was part of their debut album Bridge of Spies, which became a multi-platinum success.
Another timeless hit track Heart and Soul achieved global success, reaching No. 4 in the UK and becoming a top-5 hit in the United States.

The band followed up with additional chart toppers like Valentine and I Will Be with You before their popularity began to wane in the early 1990s.
Carol has kept T’Pau’s legacy alive, performing with a reformed line-up to the delight of 80s music fans.
Who has left The Masked Singer 2025 so far?
Much to the delight of telly fans, The Masked Singer is back in 2025.
Twelve celebrities have been hidden behind intricate costumes, with their identities concealed.
Sadly, not all of this year's whacky and wonderful characters can make it to the end of the show, as there can only be one winner.
Here's who has been unmasked so far:
Toad In The Hole - a massive diva strop saw the character storm off the stage after the judges voted them off. They later returned to be unmasked as singer Macy Gray
Pegasus - the mythical horse was revealed to be Prue Leith, with judge Jonathan Ross correctly guessing her identity
Spag Bol - this character was first to be unmasked and was none other than Good Morning Britain host Kate Garraway.
Plus there was one extra unmasking this season, with Giant Joel - a caricature of host Joel Dommett - unveiled as double-double Olympic champion Sir Mo Farah.
