After eight weeks of celebrity reveals and performances, the winner of The Masked Singer 2026 has been crowned. In the finale, Moth, Toastie and Conkers competed, with Moth emerging as the champion. The mask was removed to reveal Keisha Buchanan, best known as a member of the Sugababes.
In second place was Conkers, unmasked as television presenter Ben Shephard, while Toastie finished third and was revealed to be singer Mica Paris. The panel for the final included Maya Jama, Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan and special guest Samantha Barks.
Keisha Buchanan said of her win: “I can’t believe I got through it. It was so grueling but beautiful. I did a song that I’ve never done, like Whitney [Houston], I’ve never sung a Whitney song! Aerosmith, that was the scariest one.” She added that singing Whitney Houston and Aerosmith were the hardest challenges.
Earlier in the series, other celebrities were unmasked: Disc Jockey and Teabag were revealed as Alex Jones and Professor Green in week one. Yak was John Lydon, Gargoyle was Marcella Detroit, Monkey Business was Kate Nash, and Arctic Fox was Anton Du Beke.
