Jaws dropped as Destiny’s Child legend Michelle Williams was revealed to be Rockhopper on The Masked Singer UK.
The judging panel and fans watching at home gasped as the 42-year-old singing superstar was unmasked as the penguin character on the zany ITV singing contest.
Michelle, who topped the charts with the girlband in the noughties with hits including Bug A Boo, Survivor, Bootylicious, Say My Name and Lose My Breath, made it to the semi-final of the hit show after having viewers and the judges Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Rita Ora and Mo Gilligan guessing her identity for weeks as she performed in disguise.

Before the reveal @mandapen said: "Rockhopper has been great. If it is Michelle Williams then she will be the first person to have done both #MaskedSinger US and #TheMaskedSingerUK."
And @vaseysvoyages said: "Just a heads up peeps, Michelle Williams from Destiny’s Child has already done #MaskedSinger before, she was on the @MaskedSingerFOXUS, would seem surprising if she is also on the #MaskedSingerUK but who even knows at this point?!
"Crazier things have happened."
