THE Masked Singer tonight revealed that Destiny’s Child singer Michelle Williams was the Rockhopper.
Arguably the show’s biggest ever signing, the American star, 42, was part of one of the best-selling female groups of all time.
Explaining the range of accents she used to confuse the panel she insisted: “I couldn’t come out talking like me.”
Michelle, who is thought to be worth at least £20million, added: “I was behind my mask cracking up.”
Michelle was revealed after singer Aled Jones was unmasked as the show’s Traffic Cone.
Songs of Praise host and radio star Aled, 51, was revealed in the first of two dramatic ‘unmaskings’ on the ITV show.
He explained that references to performing at “20,000 feet” were nods to Walking In The Air, the 1982 song he performed aged 15 for animated film The Snowman.
Jones said he couldn’t wait to get the costume off but called his appearance on the series “so uplifting”.
He told host Joel Dommett: “When will I ever sing Rick Astley and the Pina Colada song again?”
Previous weeks have seen football legend Michael Owen as a singing pile of doughnuts and Gloria Hunniford as a snow leopard.
Firework was revealed to be actress Jaime Winstone, after Chandelier was unmasked as Heather Small.
Elsewhere Tom Chaplin from the band Keane was the show’s Poodle, Will Young the Lionfish and Pat Cash put on a Scottish accent as Bagpipes.
