In the earlier format, one masked contestant would be unmasked at the end of each episode. But this season, out of the four masked contestants who perform every episode, only one will advance to the next round, leaving the remaining three to be unmasked. The four masked celebrities who performed this week were Harp, Hedgehog, Hummingbird and Knight.

After an impeccable battle, the one masked contestant who walked away victorious was the Harp. Sadly, this meant the end of the road for Hedgehog, Knight and Hummingbird. The Masked Singer host unmasked the celebrities one by one.

When it was Hedgehog's turn, fans were surprised to see that their guess was right and it was none other than Monty Python actor Eric Idle. Many took to social media to share that they had already predicted that Idle would be the one under the Hedgehog's mask. Brooke Parker@gramfurnYep, it IS Eric Idle!

Here are the clues that gave Hedgehog away in The Masked Singer
In his audio clue, the Hedgehog shared that it was special for him to be on The Masked Singer stage and added that it wasn't his first big premiere. Continuing, he said:
"Some say this show is mad, [but] this is probably one of the more normal things that I've ever done." The Hedgehog then revealed that he has appeared naked in Playboy and is part of one of the biggest groups that has sold out the Hollywood Bowl and Sydney Opera House. The Masked Singer celebrity also added that he was at the Olympics.

The Hedgehog further revealed that he had a list of celebrity fans including Jimmy Fallon, Bradley Cooper, Kate Beckinsale, Tina Fey, and Elon Musk. His next clue was that he was here on The Masked Singer to sing just like he did once with "the Queen." For his visual clue that ran in the background, viewers caught an eye of a python, a Club Hedgehog sign, a knight, a beer, an acoustic guitar, a parrot that exploded and a dancer that was dressed like Queen Elizabeth II. Taking to the stage, the Hedgehog then performed his rendition of Love Me Do by the Beatles.

#TheMaskedSinger https://t.co/j0SeafXouN When it came to guessing who was under the mask, Robin Thicke predicted that it was Eric Idle. Jenny McCarthy speculated that it could be John Cleese, Nicole Scherzinger shared that she thought it was Bill Nighy, and Ken Jeong went with his usual comedic guess and claimed that it was Elton John.
