THE MASKED Singer returned to our screens last night with five secret celebrities singing in disguise.

Bagpipes and Poodle landed in the sing-off with show detectives Rita Ora, Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross and Mo Gilligan saving the furry character from elimination.

After cheers and chants from the studio audiences Bagpipes was finally revealed as Australian tennis ace Pat Cash.

Davina correctly guessed Pat’s identity, with the sporting champion telling viewers: “You guys were very close from the very first song.”

Cash, 56, who sang Dusty Springfield’s I Only Want To Be With You in the sing-off added: “I played on centre court at Wimbledon, but the most nerve-wracking thing was coming on here.”

Bagpipes also performed against the masked contestants Traffic Cone, Rockhopper and Panda.

The ITV show opened with the masked celebrities all performing the track I Want It That Way, by the Backstreet Boys.
