Another celebrity has been unmasked on the new series of the Masked Singer this weekend.
The ITV show returned for its sixth series earlier this month and the latest episode on Saturday confirmed the identity of Tattoo. It was revealed that singer Carol Decker, 67 - best known for fronting T'Pau - had been behind the mask.
She had performed once again for the audience and judges in the episode, which also featured the return of Snail, Kingfisher, Dressed Crab and Teeth. Tattoo ended up in the sing-off against Dressed Crab, but the judging panel - which consisted of Mo Gilligan, Davina McCall, Maya Jama and Jonathan Ross, as well as guest judge Tom Daley - voted to save the crustacean character and Tattoo was then unmasked.
Following the reveal at the end of the episode, Carol told host Joel Dommett that she had enjoyed the experience. She said: "I've loved it and I'm going to say, I'm gutted!" Later praising the other contestants, she said: "Everybody is amazing, but I'm gutted because it's the best fun ever."
She also shared that she doesn't actually have any tattoos, despite the costume she sported on the show. Joel teased whilst speaking to Carol on the stage after the unmasking that she should get the character's design as her first ink.
Carol is the latest celebrity to be confirmed to have been on the new series of the Masked Singer. Good Morning Britain host Kate Garraway, Great British Bake Off judge Prue Leith and singer Macy Gray have already left the show.

ITV)Several names had been brought up by the judges and fans previously as they tried to work out the identity of the celebrity behind the Tattoo costume. The speculation even prompted actor Sheridan Smith to issue a message denying that she was underneath that costume or any others.
The BAFTA winner addressed the rumours on her Instagram Story in a post shared last weekend. Sheridan - who's released two albums - told fans that she is "not nor ever will be" a contestant on the Masked Singer. The Gavin & Stacey star however added that she was amused by the speculation.
Alongside a selfie, she wrote in the post last week: "Love you all but just to save you trouble, I am not nor ever will be on the Masked Singer, as much as I enjoy to watch it. I wasn't Sausage, Bush, Firework or Tattoo but I love your commitment and it makes me howl laughing. You lot are brilliant."
The Masked Singer continues next Saturday on ITV and ITVX from 7pm.
