Your support makes all the difference.The Masked Singer revealed its sixth and seventh hidden celebrities on tonight’s episode (30 January).
The hit ITV series sees a roster of celebrities dress up in elaborate costumes that conceal their identity, and compete in a singing competition.
During the episode, all seven remaining competitors performed before the TV audience, as well as judges Rita Ora, Jonathan Ross, Mo Gilligan and Davina McCall.
At the end of the programme, two contestants were eliminated from the show after receiving the lowest number of votes from the public.
After Dragon was chosen for elimination, it was then revealed that Norwegian singer Morten Harket, the lead of A-ha, was underneath the costume.
In a funny twist, Harket has previously performed his own song “Take On Me” earlier in the series.
The judges then opted to save Dragon meaning that Blob was sent home.
Following their decision, Blob was revealed to be none other than Sir Lenny Henry.
British actor and comedian Henry said his decision to appear on the show was inspired by boredom due to spending the majority of the past year in lockdown.
