Who won The Masked Singer 2025 tonight? Pufferfish unmasked

Earlier on Saturday evening, Wolf (Marti Pellow) was voted off in third place, while Dressed Crab (Gregory Porter) was eliminated in second place by the studio audience.

This was after multiple performances (and even duets) in front of Davina McCall, Maya Jama, Jonathan Ross and guest judge Danny Jones from McFly (who won in 2024).

This meant Pufferfish was finally crowned the champion of the latest Masked Singer series hosted by Joel McDommett after singing their final song One Night Only by Sheryl Lee Ralph.

But who was hiding behind the mask? You're about to find out (at last).

After taking off her mask, she told the judges and studio audience: "I've had the best time. Underneath the mask I've been smiling so hard it's been hurting my cheeks."

She added: "Thank you all so much for your lovely comments."
