The Masked Singer star Carol Decker has spoken out for the first time since being revealed as Tattoo on the ITV singing show. The 67-year-old singer is best known as the face of pop band T'Pau, best known for hits like China in your Hand and Valentine. After four weeks of performances on The Masked Singer, the 80's pop icon was revealed to be the celebrity behind character Tattoo after performing a rendition of Tina Turner's Proud Mary.
Speaking on the show to host Joel Dommett after being unmasked, Carol revealed that she was "gutted" to leave the competition after "loving" her experience. "Everybody is amazing, but I'm gutted because it's the best fun ever.". Posting on social media for the first time since her Masked Singer reveal, Carol shared a video of her recreating her unmasking on X, formerly known as Twitter. In the clip, Carol slowly takes a cardboard box off of her head as friends and family chant, 'Take it off!'.
The singer then jumps around the room as her family cheer her on. Shortly afterwards, Carol retweeted a fan's post which read: "Mind blown and you were robbed!". Carol Decker's Tattoo found herself in the sing-off against Dressed Crab, however it was the latter that judging panel Mo Gilligan, Davina McCall, Maya Jama and Jonathan Ross as well as guest judge Tom Daley chose to save. It makes her the fourth celebrity to be unmasked on the series, following Kate Garraway as Spag Bol, Prue Leith as Pegasus and Macy Gray as Toad in the Hole.
Last weekend's reveal proved to be a dramatic one, with Macy Gray storming off stage before being unmasked as Toad in the Hole. In scenes that left the judging panel baffled, Macy refused to take off her mask, with producers reportedly spending almost an hour trying to convince the 57-year-old star to return to the stage.
