The Moving On Up hitmaker performed Patsy Cline's Crazy - but no-one guessed who was behind the mask because she disguised her distinctive singing voice.

Judges Davina McCall, Rita Ora, Jonathan Ross and Mo Gilligan were amazed.

And comedian Mo told her: "I'm such a big fan. I listen to your songs every day."

Guesses from fans watching at home included Miriam Margolyes and Yvette Fielding.

Viewers took to Twitter to express their shock as an unmasked Heather took to the stage again to sing with her own voice.
