In a spectacular conclusion to an electrifying season, The Masked Singer UK 2026 crowned its champion, leaving audiences and panelists in awe. The grand finale, aired on February 14, 2026, featured the top three contestants—Moth, Conkers, and Toastie—battling it out with unforgettable performances before their identities were dramatically uncovered.
Moth Unmasked as Sugababes Icon Keisha Buchanan
After weeks of suspense, Moth was revealed to be Keisha Buchanan, the legendary member of the Sugababes. The 41-year-old pop sensation, known for hits like Push the Button, admitted to adopting a posh accent to disguise her voice, calling the experience transformative. Panelist Maya Jama correctly guessed her identity early on, while others speculated about stars like Fleur East or Jamelia.
Clues pointing to Keisha included phrases such as 'Enough of going in circles', a nod to the Sugababes' song Round Round, and a '13' candle referencing the band's signing at age 13. Her emotional win highlighted a journey of performing solo for the first time, bringing her 'out of her shell'.

Finishing in third place, Toastie was unmasked as Mica Paris, the 56-year-old singer-songwriter famed for tracks like My One Temptation. Her clues cleverly played on her surname, with references to Paris and the Eiffel Tower, while a 'Barry Island' hint alluded to her West End performances with Shaun Williamson.
In second place, Conkers turned out to be Ben Shephard, the beloved Tipping Point presenter.

Ben, 50, described the experience as 'extraordinary' and 'emotional', marking it as a bold post-birthday challenge.
