Dannii Minogue managed to guess The Masked Singer correctly

The Masked Singer’s Monday night reveal saw the third celebrity to be unmasked and judge Dannii Minogue was on the money.

It’s week two of Australia’s wacky new reality show The Masked Singer, and we still can’t quite wrap our heads around watching a giant prawn cover Queen songs.

Nor is the guessing game getting any easier for Lindsay Lohan — who tossed out some very far-out names this episode including Charlie Sheen and NSYNC’s Joey Fatone.

But only one member of the judging panel correctly guessed the singer forced to unmask on Monday night.

By the episode’s end, it was The Alien forced to reveal herself as Strawberry Kisses singer Nikki Webster, the pint-sized star viewers had locked in from episode one.

Dannii Minogue was on the money, having at first reneged in favour of Emma Watkins from The Wiggles, only to change her mind again at the last minute.

Here’s who the judges picked for the remaining disguised stars:

THE WOLF

Singing Shawn Mendes hit Nothin Holding Me Back, the furry creature oozed charisma as he stormed the stage, with Hughesy taking a wild stab that it’s actually LMFAO’s Redfoo behind the mask.

Dannii Minogue went with David Hasselhoff, while Lindsay Lohan gave one of her many ambitious cracks of the night with Duran Duran’s Simon Le Bon. Jackie O, on the other hand, could well be on the money with Rob Mills.

THE LION

One of the trickiest characters to narrow down thus far, The Lion belted out a rocky version of hugely popular Billie Eilish track Bad Guys, sending the judges into a spin.

Hughesy was first with a guess of Pauline Hanson — the second time he’s dropped the controversial politician's name in three episodes — while Dannii Minogue speculated that it could be Serena Williams. Closer to home and not a bad shout for her limited Aussie celeb knowledge, Lindsay thought it could be Rebel Wilson. Jackie O, on the other hand, locked in a guess of Julia Morris.

“The panel are so far from guessing who I am,” The Lion boasted following the performance.

THE ALIEN

The teeny tiny extraterrestrial sang a rendition of Young Blood by 5 Seconds of Summer, with a confidence that had the judges certain it was either a professional singer or dancer.

Twitter was convinced The Alien was petite former popstar Nikki Webster.

Apart from Hughsey, who continued his very unlikely guesses with Olympian Lydia Lassila.

Dannii guessed Emma Watkins from The Wiggles, while a stumped Lindsay floated Jackie’s previous call of Samantha Jade. Meanwhile Jackie was sure it was Vanessa Amorosi.

At the end of the episode, Dannii locked in Nikki, and was the first judge to make a correct guess since the show first aired.

THE PRAWN

The resident bad … crustacean of the competition sang I Want To Break Free with the signature prawn swagger we’ve grown to love. Redeeming his frankly shocking guesses throughout the episode, Hughesy had a stab with cricketer Freddie Flintoff, Dannii picked Rove and Jackie O wondered whether it could be beloved vet Dr Chris Brown.

Lindsay Lohan — with not a clue who it could be — jokingly called out Charlie Sheen.

On social media, several viewers this week had the prawn pegged as House Husbands actor Darren McMullen — and we think that’s a pretty good guess.

THE ROBOT

The Robot is a sure fan favourite, but we’re pretty sure it’s not Joey Fatone.

Singing pub classic The Horses by Daryl Braithwaite with a huge standing ovation from the crowd, Jackie O is sticking with her episode one guess of Cody Simpson. Dannii went for Timomatic, While Hughesy and Lindsay ended the night with two more wildly unrealistic guesses; Pat Rafter and Joey Fatone respectively.

We will eat our hats if either is correct.

The Masked Singer continues 7:30pm Tuesday on Ten.
