CAROL Decker looked stylish and happy as she was pictured in London after her exit from The Masked Singer.
The T’Pau singer, 67, was unmasked as Tattoo on Saturday night, losing out to Dressed Crab, who lived to sing another day.
Walking in the capital clutching a hot beverage, Carol matched her red hair with a burnt orange coat that was perfect for the wintery conditions.
Even though the pop star admitted she was gutted to leave the competition, there was no sign of any sadness on her face.
Speaking after her Masked Singer exit at the weekend, the China in Your Hand singer said: “I’ve loved it and I’m going to say, I’m gutted!
“Everybody is amazing. I’m gutted because it’s the best fun ever.”
Fans were impressed by Carol’s performance, with one writing: “She was amazing!!”
Another added: “I thought the same as Tom Daley that tattoo was Kym Marsh. But well done Carol you were amazing and deffo shouldn’t have gone, teeth should have gone tonight.”
“I was shocked it was her, what a lovely lady she is too,” a third added.
Tattoo’s final performance saw her put her spin on The Killers’ Human.
The big reveal was much less dramatic than the previous week’s unmasking when singer Macy Gray stormed off.
She initially refused to reveal her identity before returning to the stage for a very awkward exit interview.

The band, which she founded with guitarist Ronnie Rogers in 1986, was named after a Vulcan elder from Star Trek and became synonymous with the anthemic, catchy sounds that defined their era.
The band was formed in Shrewsbury, England, and quickly gained fans with their unique blend of pop and rock.
Their breakout single China in Your Hand became a cultural phenomenon, spending five weeks at No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart in 1987.
The song was part of their debut album Bridge of Spies, which became a multi-platinum success.
Another timeless hit track Heart and Soul achieved global success, reaching No. 4 in the UK and becoming a top-5 hit in the United States.
The band followed up with additional chart toppers like Valentine and I Will Be with You before their popularity began to wane in the early 1990s.
Carol has kept T’Pau’s legacy alive, performing with a reformed line-up to the delight of 80s music fans.
[boxout headline=”Who won The Masked Singer 2025?” featured-image=”32646117″ intro=”Much to the delight of telly fans, The Masked Singer came back in 2025.”]Twelve celebrities were hidden behind intricate costumes, with their identities concealed.
Pufferfish – This year’s winner had flawless vocals throughout the competition. West End powerhouse Samantha Barks told the audience she’d loved every second of the series.
Dressed Crab – Former American football player turned jazz singer Gregory Porter was the man behind the crustacean. He duetted with Keala Settle, who previously competed as Air Fryer, in the final.
Wolf – Wet Wet Wet heartthrob Marti Pellow was unmasked as the rugged character. McFly’s Danny Jones, who won last year’s show as Piranha, was on the panel in the final and paid his respects to the Scottish crooner.
Bush – she didn’t fool viewers and the judges were so close, but Bush was in fact EastEnders legend Natalie Cassidy. Davina McCall came closest, guessing Morgana Robinson, who does a mean impression of the Sonia actress
Bear – another success for new judge Maya Jama as she guessed correctly that the singing Bear was none other than singer, songwriter Example – real name Elliot Gleave.
Snail – this singer certainly fooled the judges as the mask was lifted to reveal Andrea Corr. Jonathan Ross admitted to being a huge fan of The Corrs.
Kingfisher – everyone was convinced this was Harry Hill, but the mask was lifted to reveal artist Sir Grayson Perry, who is known for his alter-ego Claire.
Teeth – this character baffled judges and viewers with their changing voice. They were finally unmasked as former Bake Off host Mel Giedroyc. None of the panel managed to guess it was her.
Tattoo – despite Davina McCall saying “you sound the same” after this character was unmasked, none of the judges guessed it was 80s singer Carol Decker, whose hit China In Your Hand was a No1 hit for five weeks.
Toad In The Hole – a massive diva strop saw the character storm off the stage after the judges voted them off. They later returned to be unmasked as singer Macy Gray.
Pegasus – the mythical horse was revealed to be Prue Leith, with judge Jonathan Ross correctly guessing her identity.
Spag Bol – this character was first to be unmasked and was none other than Good Morning Britain host Kate Garraway.
Plus there was one extra unmasking this season, with Giant Joel – a caricature of host Joel Dommett – unveiled as double-double Olympic champion Sir Mo Farah.
