Who is The Masked Singer? Season 2 spoilers, theories and clues revealed
Will it be Badger, Robin or Sausage?
It's time for the The Masked Singer finals, meaning we'll finally get to find out who is behind the costumes of the three remaining contestants.
We've already seen nine celebrities unveiled on the show, including Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Mel B, Martine McCutcheon, Glenn Hoddle, John Thomson, Sir Lenny Henry and Morten Harket.
And during the semi-finals, presenter Sue Perkins and singer Gabriele were revealed in a double unmasking.
Following her stint, Gabrielle revealed she almost quit The Masked Singer, telling RadioTimes.com: "I was convinced it was going to end my career."
That leaves just three celebs still to be unmasked - Sausage, Robin and Badger - and the guessing game continues.
