The Masked Singer US recently crowned the winner of its tenth series.
In a finale on December 20, Sea Queen, Gazelle, Cow, and Donut battled it out for the 'Golden Mask' trophy, with Cow taking the win. Performing Rihanna's 'Take a Bow', Cow was revealed to be singer Ne-Yo.
He previously appeared on the UK version of the show in 2021 dressed as Badger, placing second behind Joss Stone as Sausage.
Explaining why he decided to do the UK version of the reality TV phenomenon in 2021 first, he told Entertainment Weekly: "I felt like on the American version, I would get caught quicker. People would recognize my voice a little faster.
"So I did the U.K. version thinking that I had a better shot at winning, and it turns out I didn't win, but that was fine. That was totally fine. I had a ball with it. And the same thing with this one. I had so much fun."
The Masked Singer US airs on Fox.
