The Masked Singer US unveiled none other than Honey Boo Boo and Mama June in scenes that aired overnight.
The reality superstars performed Miley Cyrus’s hit song Party In The USA while underneath the Beach Ball costume, but were soon unmasked after failing to win over voters.
Before climbing out of the guise, judge Ken Jeong guessed that Kim and Khloe Kardashian were inside, while Robin Thicke noted he was getting more of a ‘Kendall/Kylie vibe.’
Unsurprisingly, Honey Boo Boo and Mama June, real names Alana Thompson and June Shannon, delighted the panel and crowd as they revealed themselves as they stood and cheered.
Speaking to host Nick Cannon, Honey Boo Boo said being inside the Beach Ball was ‘definitely very hot’.
‘It was a lot,’ the 16-year-old former beauty queen continued before sharing that she was stood out in front.

‘You know I got to be the star of the show,’ she added.
Jenny McCarthy then asked the mother and daughter duo about one of their clues, which stated they had spent some time apart.
Mama June replied: ‘I was in my addiction. I was away from my kids for two years. Now, I’m fixing to celebrate two years clean.

‘So this is the first project outside of our show that we have done together. It feels kind of nice.’
She added: ‘I cried, that was why I missed the first line. I always do whenever she performs.’
Earlier this year, Mama June revealed she spent $600,000 (£430,186) in six months while addicted to cocaine as she opened up about her struggles to Andy Cohen.

‘It’s kind of crazy when you think about the dollar amount,’ she said at the time.
‘In a year we probably spent over a million dollars, because our habit was $3,500 (£2500) to $4,000 (£2950) a day.’
The Masked Singer US airs on Wednesdays on Fox in the US.
