They all performed in front of judges Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan and Maya Jama (as well as guest judge Samantha Barks) for one last time.

Conkers sang Keep on Movin by 5ive as one of their songs, while Toastie performed their own version of Jocelyn Brown’s A Star is Born.

Shortly before the identity of Moth was revealed at the end of the final, fans found out Conkers was in fact Ben Shephard, while Toastie was none other than Mica Richards.

After each character was given the chance to duet with the likes of Lionfish, Snail and Pufferfish from previous series, Moth beat both Toastie and Conkers to victory.

During Saturday’s episode, Moth sang I Wanna Know What Love Is by Mariah Carey before duetting with Lionfish (Will Young) to perform Die With A Smile by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars.

Commenting on their first performance, Davina said: “Since the beginning, you have absolutely blown our mind every week with your incredible performances.”

Just some of the guesses from the judges throughout the night included Fleur East, Jamelia, and Ashley Roberts – but were they right?

Moth was finally unmasked as the one and only Keisha Buchanan from the Sugarbabes, much to Maya’s delight after week’s of guessing the singer.

The new winner of The Masked Singer UK said: “Honestly I’ve had the best time, I’m more of an introvert than an extrovert, and without the girls by my side it’s really brought me out my shell.”

Who was Can of Worms and Sloth on The Masked Singer UK 2026?

Radio host and former JLS singer Marvin Humes was unmasked as Can of Worms on The Masked Singer last week during the semi-final – he was one of two unmaskings.

The 40-year-old was eliminated from the ITV singing competition and joined English broadcaster and adventurer Ben Fogle, 52, who was unmasked earlier on in the episode as Sloth.

Prior to his elimination, Marvin performed two songs – a rendition of the Cha Cha Slide by DJ Casper, before a version of Ordinary People by John Legend.

Mo was the only member of the panel to guess his identity correctly.

Following his unmasking, he said: “Been the best show I’ve been a part of.

“Thank you so much to everyone.

“It’s been amazing.”



He later added: “What’s really strange for me is I haven’t sung by myself in a long time. I’m used to being with three other guys on stage and that’s quite a comfort. A bit of security.

“Although I’m completely masked, it’s still been quite strange being out on my own singing. Which I’ve enjoyed, and even when the mask came off, I fully enjoyed it.

“It was nice doing something by myself where singing was concerned. When the band (JLS) finished, I didn’t really do any solo music that way, so yeah, it’s been really cool.”

After he was unmasked, Marvin also waved to the camera to his youngest kids, Valentina and Blake, who did not know he was performing.

Meanwhile, Ben, who sang an enthusiastic rendition of We All Stand Together by Sir Paul McCartney and the Frog Chorus, was eliminated just before Marvin.

Among the guesses the judges put forward were Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews, Gossip Girl actor Penn Badgley and financial journalist Martin Lewis.

Ben described the experience was “so joyous” and “so fun” after he was unmasked.

He said: “I am so happy to have got this far.

“I’m not a natural-born singer, but it’s been so joyous.

“I think one of the reasons I really wanted to do this is that we so often stereotype people, and we make assumptions about who they are, what they can do, stick in your lane, but I think you reach a point in life when you can’t take yourself too seriously.”
