Natalie Imbruglia has admitted that she didn't actually want to win the 2022 series of The Masked Singer.
The Australian singer won the ITV show over the weekend after performing as Panda, and beat the likes of Charlotte Church and Mark Feehily to scoop the crown.
However, Natalie wasn't even hellbent on winning and just wanted to do the show as a bit of fun.
Speaking to press including The Mirror, Natalie said: "Oh I didn't want to win at all, I was like, 'Oh I'm not gonna get to even the second show'.
"And I don't remember the first two performances because I was so nervous, terrified. In fact, I did stumble the words if you watch closely.
"So yeah I was really nervous and really didn't expect to get that far, I just thought it would be a bit of fun," Natalie added.
The 47-year-old star also addressed claims that the show was fixed and that Mushroom (Charlotte) or Robobunny (Mark) should have won instead.
"I think it's lovely that fans are so behind the characters that they get so upset if their character doesn't win," she said.
"Clearly the show is not fixed, and I think this show is about fun and it's meant to be light-hearted.
"And all I can say, from my point of view, being in costume all of us were so loving and friendly towards each other - not that we knew who each other was!
"Mushroom and I were hugging all the time before we went onstage and I was like, 'I really hope that's Charlotte Church', so that's the only one I did guess," Natalie added.
The former Neighbours actress also admitted that she made a conscious choice not to perform any of her own songs because it would have been "way too risky".
