The Masked Singer’s latest reveal is an Australian Idol chart-topper

One of the most successful contestants in Australian Idol history was revealed in the latest episode of The Masked Singer. Warning: SPOILERS.

WARNING: Masked Singer spoilers below.

An Australian Idol superstar was unveiled on Monday’s episode of The Masked Singer, with the Blowfly revealed to be Australian Idol singer Shannon Noll.

Noll, 46, shot to fame when he came runner-up to Guy Sebastian in the first season of Idol back in 2003. Since then, he’s sold well over a million records in Australia, making him the third-most successful contestant in Australian Idol history, behind only Sebastian and Jess Mauboy.

The Masked Singer's worst-kept secret is revealed!

Noll performed the very on-brand Bon Jovi hit You Give Love A Bad Name for what was to be his final performance as Blowfly – and his vocals were as immediately distinctive as they were back in the first episode.

And more than one judge had figured out Blowfly’s true identity by the time he was unmasked, with Abbie Chatfield and Mel B correctly guessing Noll.

The Blowfly …

… was Shannon Noll all along.

Meanwhile, Chatfield let slip an interesting behind-the-scenes titbit during an appearance on Ten’s comedy show The Cheap Seats last week.

The star confessed that her height-based guesses during the show had been a little too sensible, and producers had warned her she was “ruining the fantasy” of the some of her follow judges’ more outlandish picks.

“I was told I was height-obsessed and to stop obsessing over heights, because it was ruining the fantasy and that it could be someone else,” she told the hosts.

“But I was like, I know how tall Osher [Günsberg] is, and I’m going to work back from there – and I was usually right.”

Perhaps, but it’s been fellow judge Chrissie Swan who’s been on a Masked Singer winning streak recently, with the fellow newbie to the judging panel correctly guessing three contestants in a row before they were revealed: Jamie Durie, Emma Watkins and Matt Preston.

The new-look judging panel are surprisingly on the money this season. During Sunday’s episode, Mel B correctly guessed that the celeb underneath the Popcorn mask was Australian singer Sam Sparro.

The new judges have been so good, in fact, that OG judge Dave Hughes – notorious for guessing the most ridiculous celebs – quipped that judges who are a little too good at guessing won’t make it to the next season.

We also had guesses of our own at who each contestant was earlier in the season. See how we’re stacking up as each celeb is revealed.

Blowfly’s unmasking leaves four contestants still in the game this season, including ‘wildcard’ player Microphone – who is widely tipped to be Destiny’s Child superstar Michelle Williams – and the Mirrorball, who fans believe is former Pussycat Doll Melody Thornton.

Could Sunday’s finale be a girl group showdown?

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