Read on to find out more about Kingfisher, and learn what we know about season six as a whole so far...
Who is Kingfisher?
Harry Redknapp, Alan Titchmarsh, Paul Whitehouse, Chris Packham and Daniel Radcliffe were all of The Masked Singer panelist’s first suggestions about who Kingfisher’s identity might be.
Clues which led to them to these conclusions included an East End accent; items including a radio, dog treats and a ‘Harry’ name tag in their VT; and the riddle: “Fishing and planting, digging and mowing, to reap the rewards, you better get sowing.”
Viewers at home were convinced Harry Hill was beneath the mask, but all were proven wrong when Kingfisher was unmasked alongside Snail in the show's sixth episode.
Kingfisher was in fact artist Sir Grayson Perry, who told show host Joel Dommett he'd had a "lovely time embracing the spirit of the show" as the panellists, studio audience and viewers at home all reeled at how easily Grayson had avoided everyone's theories this year.
Grayson was disappointed to have to leave the show in episode six, as he told viewers he'd prepared two "really lovely songs" for episode seven.
"I was going to sing, ‘Feed the Birds’ from Mary Poppins and there wouldn’t have been a dry eye in the place... and then I was going to do ‘Stick Season’ by Noah Kahan," he revealed. "That’s a great song. Lots of words... but I had it nailed and I was really looking forward to it."
What songs has Kingfisher sung on The Masked Singer UK?
Kingfisher sang ‘Rainbow Connection’ by The Muppets’ Kermit the Frog in their first appearance in the show’s first episode. In episode four, Kingfisher sang 'Iris' by The Goo Goo Dolls.
In the show's fourth week, Kingfisher performed 'Luck Be a Lady' by Frank Sinatra. In week five, Kingfisher sang another Sinatra song, 'Somethin' Stupid'.
