Charlotte Church's family guessed she was on Masked Singer "immediately"
The singer and TV presenter has described her time on the ITV show as "wild" and "challenging".
The final of The Masked Singer's third season aired on Saturday, with Charlotte Church being unmasked as Mushroom after eight weeks of stellar performances, ending with her coming in second place on the show.
While it took many of us at home quite a while to guess that it was the Welsh singer behind that fungi falsetto, Church has revealed that her family realised it was her "almost immediately".
Speaking to RadioTimes.com in an exclusive interview, Church said her experience on the show was "so wild, weird and playful".
"And uniquely stressful at times to sing in a costume like that, and be judged and stuff, which I'm not used to. So at times, it was difficult – it's challenging.
"But it was so lovely to watch it on telly and play the guessing game and surprise certain members of my family. Not most of them, because they guessed almost immediately."

"And I was like, 'I can't confirm or deny.' But they pretty much rumbled me straight away."
