THE MASKED Singer’s Snail has been revealed as a huge 90s star – and they haven’t aged a day.
Andrea Corr, 50, stunned the judges after being unmasked during tonight’s installment.
The Corrs singer said she “loved” the costume, gushing: “I had such a good time, everyone’s been lovely, it’s been really joyous. I wanted to do it for the children.”
Andrea added after the show that she hadn’t told a soul she was doing it.
The judges, particularly Davina, were gobsmacked not to have guessed, particularly because the Irish star’s music is so well-known.
But viewers had previously claimed it was her behind the elaborate costume.
The Irish songstress shot to fame nearly three decades ago with her brothers and sisters in the band The Corrs.
Andrea and her siblings were best known for songs like Breathless, So Young, and Runaway.
One tweeted: “Snail is Andrea Corr- violins playing, clue package mentions Irresistible straight away (Corrs song), soft Irish accent, clue about being up in space- her solo album was called Ten Feet High.”
While another said: “Ok so Snail on #MaskedSingerUK sounds very much like Andrea Corr and that is what I’m sticking with.”
This one agreed: “Snail sounds a bit like Andrea Corr…”
Someone else commented: “I’m still adamant that Andrea Corr is Snail.

Also unmasked was Kingfisher, who was revealed to be artist Sir Grayson Perry, 64.
Perry said he wanted to be “something cute” and that he’d had a “lovely time embracing the spirit of the show”.
His initials, GP, fooled the judges who thought it was a link to comedian Harry Hill‘s former career as a doctor.
In reality, it was a lot more straightforward than that and Perry joked he’d done his best Hill impression.
Teasing what he would have done next, Perry said after the show: “I was gutted when I got knocked out. I had two really lovely songs lined up for next week.
“I was going to sing, ‘Feed the Birds’ from Mary Poppins and there wouldn’t have been a dry eye in the place! I’d already been practising. I could hardly get through without blubbing.
“And then I was going to do ‘Stick Season’ by Noah Kahan. That’s a great song. Lots of words though. Very hard to learn but I had it nailed and I was really looking forward to it.”

[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.
