On Saturday night, The Masked Singer UK came to an end as Wolf, Dressed Crab, and Pufferfish battled it out for the crown.
The Masked Singer UK drew to a close on Saturday night as ITV viewers finally got to see who was hiding behind the likes of Wolf, Dressed Crab and Pufferfish all along.
Earlier on in the show, Wolf was unveiled to be Marti Pellow leaving it between Pufferfish and Dressed Crab.
After weeks of speculation and rumours online over who could be behind the mask, ITV fans learnt it was Gregory Porter behind Dressed Crab as they finished as runner up.
Taking the crown of this year's series was Pufferfish, who was unveiled as actress and singer, Samantha Barks, who some of the panel managed to guess correctly.
Thrilled with their win, Pufferfish also seemed in disbelief as they spoke to host Joel Dommett about their triumph.
She said: "For me, because I've played Elsa (on the West End) for three years, it's been so fun to just do lots of different stuff!
"Every week, I've wanted to do a new kind of style, a new kind of song, and that was really fun. Also, I feel like I've lived this double life, I've had this crazy experience but nobody in my life knows this! So I love it! It's so secretive."
Samanta thanked everyone for their comments as she admitted her cheeks have been hurting inside her costume from smiling so much.
Gregory also had nothing but praise when speaking about their time on the show. Speaking to Joel after being unmasked, they said: "This is amazing, this is wild.
"I'm not going to lie. I had to get over a little bit of claustrophobia, you know, who needs oxygen? Who needs oxygen?!"
The singer explained some of the clues that were shown throughout the competition before praising his time on the show. He added: "This is extraordinary, this is a real moment for me.
"It's fun, sometimes I'm singing all those serious songs but this was fun, this was just real fun!"
Throughout the competition, fans have seen a plethora of well-known names and faces revealed. Good Morning Britain's Kate Garraway was one of the earlier unmaskings, as she was revealed to be Spag Bol.
Bake Off star Prue Leith was unmasked under the Pegasus costume while Macy Gray was Toad in the Hole.
T'Pau singer Carol Decker was Tattoo, Mel Giedroyc was the fifth person to be revealed as Teeth, while Snail was Andrea Corr and Kingfisher was the artist Sir Grayson Perry.
In a double elimination last week, ITV fans saw Example hiding behind Bear, with EastEnders icon Natalia Cassidy revealed as Bush.
The Masked Singer is available to watch on ITVX.
