However, fans couldn't believe that Tattoo and Dressed Crab were in the sing-off.

Many fans thought it should've been Kingfisher and Teeth, and went onto call the show a "fix".

They thought both of these acts were too good to be in the bottom two.

Taking to Reddit to discuss this, one wrote: "I can't help but feel that this show is a massive fix."

While another said: "I feel the same, total fix."

This viewer added: "Tattoo got screwed, the first and probably not last of robberies."

After Saturday night's sing-off, The Masked Singer judges chose to save Dressed Crab and Tattoo was unmasked.

Fans previously thought that Coronation Street star Kym Marsh was underneath the elaborate costume.

But it was eventually confirmed to be pop music legend, Carol Decker, famed for the 80s band T'Pau.

Host Joel Dommett helped her to remove the mask as the panel were left speechless after failing to identify her.

However, that reaction did not carry though for one of the audience members.

In a rather awkward moment, a woman in the studio audience was left looking perplexed as she failed to recognise who the China In Your Hand singer was.

As other members of the crowd whooped and hollered for the T'Pau frontwoman, the audience member pulled a face and scratched her chin as she turned to somebody beside her.

It then appeared that she said to them: "Who is it?!"

Carol was the lead singer of 80s band T'Pau

Speaking after her exit, Carol 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."

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 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.

Carol is the fourth star to be revealed on this year's edition of the contest.

Last week, Macy Gray threw a diva strop as she was axed from the show early on in its run.

She stormed off stage and refused to return for almost an hour and when she did, she gave rather blunt answers to the judges before walking off in a huff once more.

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:

Tattoo - despite Davina McCall saying "you sound the same" after this character was unmasked, none of the judges guessed it was 80s singer Carol Decker, whose hit China In Your Hand was a No1 hit for five weeks

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.
