The Masked Singer UK<\/a> spoilers follow.<\/p>\n

The Masked Singer UK has confirmed its finalists for its seventh season<\/a>, though it didn’t come without plenty of drama as a BBC presenter and a star of I’m a Celebrity\u2026 Get Me Out of Here! were unmasked in a double elimination<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tonight’s (7 February) episode of the ITV reality series<\/a> saw comedian Katherine Ryan join the panel<\/a> as they made their best attempts to guess the identity of the remaining acts, three of whom would make it to next week’s final.<\/p>\n

After the first round of performances, it was Sloth who faced the chopping block after their rendition of Paul McCartney and The Frog Chorus’ ‘We All Stand Together’ didn’t do enough to impress audiences. <\/p>\n

It was eventually revealed that broadcaster and adventurer Ben Fogle was underneath the mask, with the star saying: “There\u2019s something incredibly liberating about no one knowing who you are and being able to just let go. <\/p>\n

“It\u2019s been joyous and really fun. Ridiculous. I made a commitment that if I was going to do this, I was going to go 100%. I don\u2019t do things by halves and I think I\u2019ve delivered. I\u2019ve never done any singing but I really loved doing it.”<\/p>\n

While the panel wasn’t successful<\/a> in deducing Sloth’s identity, Mo Gilligan was on the money when it came to Can of Worms, who was the second act to be eliminated on the night following their rendition of John Legend’s ‘Ordinary People’.<\/p>\n

Mo had predicted last week that JLS member Marvin Humes was underneath the mask, and it proved to be a good hunch as the I’m a Celebrity<\/a> star was unveiled by host Joel Dommett. <\/p>\n

“I know you hear this from everyone but this is just the most bonkers show to be a part of,” said the singer, who has also co-hosted The Voice UK. “But it’s the most fun. I\u2019ve been lucky enough to do it and I got to sing one of the songs I sing to my kids at home.<\/p>\n

“What\u2019s really strange for me is I haven\u2019t sung by myself in a long time. I\u2019m used to being with three other guys on stage and that\u2019s quite a comfort. A bit of security\u2026 So for me, it was nice doing something by myself where singing was concerned.”<\/p>\n

The exits of Fogle and Humes are agonising for the pair given they were just a week away from the final, but attention will now turn to the showpiece event as Toastie, Conkers and Moth battle it out for the crown.<\/p>\n

The Masked Singer UK finale airs on Saturday 14 February at 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX. <\/p>\n
