Sue Perkins was exposed on Saturday night’s episode of The Masked Singer.
The former Great British Bake Off host, 51, has revealed her identity after failing to impress audiences with her performance during the show’s first half.
Although she was revealed, Sue can be proud of the fact that none of the judges guessed who she was, including guest panelist Matt Lucas.
The Masked Singer: Sue Perkins was unmasked as Dragon in the show’s semi-final on Saturday night, as another contender is expected to be revealed
Mo Gilligan guessed that Dragon was Ricki Lake, while Davina McCall chose Whoopi Goldberg, Matt went with Michelle Visage, and Rita Ora and Jonathan Ross both chose Jennifer Saunders.
Glad to be on the show, Sue claimed she felt ‘liberated’ wearing her mask, as she had always been petrified of singing in public.
She explained, “ Being a dragon is liberating and brilliant, I got to be playful and silly and childish, and things that you can’t be.

“I would never sing, I’m afraid to perform in public. What would be interesting is if I sing without the mask, let’s see if that broke the spell for me.
Thankfully, Sue was able to perform with her Dragon headphones as she sang one final song before leaving the show.
Speaking after leaving the show, Sue said of her participation: ‘It just felt so counterintuitive to me that I had to do it.
“ I’m usually up a mountain or down a river these days – so I’m probably the last person anyone would think of in a musical entertainment context. I had a lot of joy to cheat the panel.

Sue took to Twitter after being revealed and shared a photo of herself wearing a shirt that said ‘don’t talk to me’, which she reportedly wore backstage on the show.
Sharing her joy with fans, she wrote: ‘What an absolute race. I loved every second.
“ Thanks to the whole MS team who helped me keep it a secret – and especially to Anna my vocal coach and Steve the MD who helped bring out Dragon’s little voice. Xxxxxx (Ps. Like @michellevisage and @courtneyact) ‘

Sir Lenny Henry and A-Ha frontman Morten Harket were both unmasked in a double elimination last week.
The Viking was the first to have his mask removed as he turned out to be Morten, 61, after failing to win votes with his version of Coldplay’s The Scientist.
It was then decided who would be the second celebrity to leave, with Dragon and Blob risking returning home. The judges chose to save Dragon and send Blob home.
It was quickly revealed that Sir Lenny, 62, was behind the mask after the judges guessed it could be Stephen Fry, Joe Wicks, Lenny Henry, Ainsley Harriott and Morgan Freeman.
