The Masked Singer: Who left the show last night?

The Masked Singer waved goodbye to another celebrity last night (2 January).

Spice Girls icon Mel B was the latest star to leave the ITV show, after “Murder on the Dancefloor” singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor (dressed as an alien) was eliminated the previous week.

Mel B, who was disguised as a seahorse, was surprised her identity had been discovered so early in the series.

“I thought I disguised myself pretty well with my voice and accent, and trying not to be like me – I guess I didn't do that,” she said, before judge Rita Ora suggested: "Sometimes when you're too iconic, you're too iconic!"  

Clues given for the seahorse had included presenting roles, a Northern accent and the fact they had once stolen toilet paper from a famous person's house.
