THE MASKED Singer has found itself embroiled in a fix row, with fans claiming the “wrong two stars” were in the bottom two.
It came after the wacky ITV guessing game saw Tattoo finally unmasked at the weekend after a run of good performances.
However, fans couldn’t believe that Tattoo and Dressed Crab were in the sing-off.
Many fans thought it should’ve been Kingfisher and Teeth, and went onto call the show a “fix”.
They thought both of these acts were too good to be in the bottom two.
Taking to Reddit to discuss this, one wrote: “I can’t help but feel that this show is a massive fix.”
While another said: “I feel the same, total fix.”
This viewer added: “Tattoo got screwed, the first and probably not last of robberies.”
After Saturday night’s sing-off, The Masked Singer judges chose to save Dressed Crab and Tattoo was unmasked.
Fans previously thought that Coronation Street star Kym Marsh was underneath the elaborate costume.
But it was eventually confirmed to be pop music legend, Carol Decker, famed for the 80s band T’Pau.
Host Joel Dommett helped her to remove the mask as the panel were left speechless after failing to identify her.

In a rather awkward moment, a woman in the studio audience was left looking perplexed as she failed to recognise who the China In Your Hand singer was.
As other members of the crowd whooped and hollered for the T’Pau frontwoman, the audience member pulled a face and scratched her chin as she turned to somebody beside her.
It then appeared that she said to them: “Who is it?!”
Speaking after her exit, Carol 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.”
Brit singer and songwriter Carol turned T’Pau into one of the most celebrated acts of the 80s, thanks to her distinctive voice and commanding stage presence.
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 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.
Carol is the fourth star to be revealed on this year’s edition of the contest.
Last week, Macy Gray threw a diva strop as she was axed from the show early on in its run.
She stormed off stage and refused to return for almost an hour and when she did, she gave rather blunt answers to the judges before walking off in a huff once more.
[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.
