ITV's The Masked Singer returned with a bang tonight (February 1) as more two celebrities were revealed to the nation.

This dramatic double elimination is a first for the UK version of the series, and now we know who was under the Duck and Unicorn costumes all along: Skunk Anansie singer Skin and Scissor Sisters' Jake Shears.

Lifting their masks off to great applause from the studio audience and judges, Skin and Jake reflected on their time performing on The Masked Singer.

"I just wanted to do something completely different," explained Skin, "and it's been really challenging and really hard, and just major fun as well."

Jake later added: "I mean it's just right up my alley [laughs]. It was a no-brainer for me, I was so excited.
