The Masked Singer: Who was the ninth celebrity unmasked as Rockhopper is eliminated?
Rockhopper’s true identity has been unveiled PA)
The latest celebrity has been unmasked on The Masked Singer UK, leaving just three in the competition.
In the semi-final of The Masked Singer, which aired on Saturday on ITV, Rockhopper was unmasked after being chosen to leave after being voted off the show.
Despite a great performance of Harry Styles’ Adore You, it was Rockhopper’s time to leave after receiving the least votes from the audience.
Rockhopper was the second unmasking of the show, after Traffic Cone’s identity was revealed earlier on in the programme.
Under Rockhopper’s mask was none other than global megastar Michelle Williams, with the audience breaking into cheers and applause as she made her reveal.
Michelle was a hugely popular guess among fans, thanks to the Superbowl hint and Destiny’s Child having a song called Jumpin – rockhopper’s love to jump after all.

Plus, the ‘three rings circus’ was a reference to Destiny’s Child, and the Jailbird hint referenced her time in musical Chicago.
The panel were absolutely astounded by Michelle’s reveal – particularly as she changed her accent to confuse them.
‘William is short for Bill, so Bills, Bills, Bills!’ Michelle explained, referring to one of Destiny’s Child’s most recognisable hits.
‘There were so many clues!’ she said. ‘I was under my mask cracking up!’

Michelle said she ‘had a blast’ coming on the show, adding that it was ‘awesome’.
There are now just three celebrities left on The Masked Singer – Robobunny, Panda and Mushroom – with the grand final to air next Saturday.
The Masked Singer UK returns next Saturday at 7pm and is available to watch on ITV Hub.
