Masked Singer fans rage show is a 'fix' as Panda wins over Mushroom and Robobunny

The Masked Singer's final result tonight sparked "fix" claims as Panda was declared the champion.

This evening, Panda, Mushroom and Robobunny battled it out to become the champion by wowing the judges and audience with their vocals.

Robobunny ended up in third place and was unmasked as Westlife's Mark Feehily, who hailed the experience as being "the most amazing thing [he's] ever done".

That left it down to Panda and Mushroom to fight it out for the 2022 title - however the majority of the judges had already guessed that Mushroom was Charlotte Church.

Natalie Imbruglia won The Masked Singer (ITV)

Despite thoroughly impressing in the final, Charlotte was announced as the runner-up and Panda won the show.

She was later revealed to be Natalie Imbruglia, but some fans were not happy with the result.

One raged: "#maskedsingeruk PANDA…F***ING PANDA?! What a fix."

While another fumed: "How anybody in that audience thinks Panda is a better singer than Robbobunny or Mushroom is beyond me? Mushroom absolutely robbed. Has to be a fix. #MaskedSingerUK."

A third seethed: "F***ing fix #maskedsingeruk #themaskedsingeruk."

"Masked Singer what a bloody fix!! Can’t believe that Mushroom didn’t win? Who is seriously voting?" another demanded to know.

One tweeted: "Well that’s me changing the channel now! Absolute b*****ks that panda won against robo bunny and mushroom, your audience needs looking at!!! Clearly a fix! What a waste of an evening !! #MaskedSingerUK."

After being unmasked, Natalie opened up about why she had appeared on the show.

She said: "I did it for my son. He loves the character I chose. I also thought it would be fun to sing with a mask on, no need to spend hours in hair and make-up. I liked the idea of hiding my identity and putting on an accent to throw people off the scent. I guess it's also an acting gig."

*The Masked Singer is available to rewatch on ITV Hub
