The identity of Rat has been revealed tonight after she was eliminated from The Masked Singer.
Rat and Dippy Egg had to compete against one another after Cricket, Maypole and Big Foot were voted straight through to the next round.
Rat performed YMCA by famous disco group the Village People much to the enjoyment of the celebrity judges and audience.
Dippy Egg followed up with a performance of Shotgun by George Ezra. Despite both being popular with fans, Rat was eliminated and made to 'take off the mask'.

Rat was found out to be none other than Shirley Ballas and is now eliminated from the ITV programme, bringing the contenders down to just four.
Shirley Ballas is well-known for her role as one of the most recognisable judges on the BBC ballroom programme Strictly Come Dancing.
She judges contestants on the show alongside the likes of Anton Du Beke, Motsi Mabuse and Craig Revel Horwood.
This comes as popular singer Olly Murs joined The Masked Singer as a guest judge, sneaking into the opening routine alongside some of the characters we've come to know and love.

The show, which is currently in its fifth series in the UK, is judged by Rita Ora, Jonathan Ross, Mo Gilligan and Davina McCall.
However, Rita Ora was once again absent from the show tonight, prompting rumours that she was Maypole as they are never seen together.
The Masked Singer airs on ITV1, STV and ITVX every Saturday from around 7pm.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
