The Masked Singer - which is on every Saturday at 7PM - has taken the nation by storm since it started five weeks ago.

It features mystery celebrities singing a song each week wearing elaborate costumes, and viewers are tasked with guessing who they are based on clues given out in their VT.

Each week, the celebrity with the lowest number of votes from the audience and judges is eliminated - and last week both Skin and Jake Shears were unveiled as the Duck and Unicorn respectively.
