Who was unmasked on The Masked Singer tonight? Yak revealed

A new series of The Masked Singer UK began last Saturday (January 3), with celebrity judges Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Maya Jama, and Mo Gilligan, along with host Joel Dommett, all returning.

The ITV show features famous contestants, disguised in elaborate costumes, singing in front of the celebrity panel who must try to guess their identities.

Tonight’s (Saturday, January 10) episode featured Andrew ‘Freddie’ Flintoff, who joined The Masked Singer as a special guest panellist.

Monkey Business, Toastie, Yak, Arctic Fox, and Conkers performed during Saturday’s episode, with the celebrity panel attempting to guess the famous faces behind the masks.

Who was unmasked on The Masked Singer tonight?

Monkey Business and Yak were the two masked singers to compete in the sing-off on Saturday night.

The celebrity panel then elected to save Monkey Business, meaning it was Yak who was unmasked.

Yak was revealed to be John Lydon from the Sex Pistols.

Following the reveal, Lydon said he had “absolutely loved” his time on the show.
