The identity of Badger has been revealed in the final of The Masked Singer.

Badger, Robin and Sausage were all competing to be crowned as the champion in the ITV singing competition.

Many fans suspected Badger to be US rapper Ne-Yo or Gorillaz Damon Albarn.

Previous clues suggested Badger was used to being anonymous, as he said: "There have been times I could have been on the street surrounded by people, but nobody would have had any idea who I am."

After Robin's third-place departure, Badger and Sausage battled it out to become champion.

And Badger was revealed as fan favourite Ne-Yo after coming second.

The surreal show, in which famous contestants don elaborate costumes to sing in front of the celebrity panel, came to an end tonight.
