Samantha Barks Unmasked as Pufferfish and Crowned Winner of The Masked Singer 2025!
What a season finale that was! The Masked Singer 2025 has officially crowned its champion, and it's none other than the incredibly talented Samantha Barks! After weeks of speculation, stunning performances, and some jaw-dropping reveals, the mystery behind Pufferfish is finally solved. And let me tell you, it was a reveal worth waiting for!
Samantha Barks, best known for her powerhouse performances on stage, especially as Elsa in the West End’s Frozen , took the competition by storm. Week after week, she showcased her incredible vocal range, tackling different styles and leaving both the judges and audience in awe. But in the nail-biting final, she truly brought her A-game, delivering a show-stopping rendition of Britney Spears' Baby, One More Time that secured her the win over her tough competitors—Dressed Crab and Wolf.
Now, let’s talk about that moment when the mask finally came off. The panel—Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Maya Jama, and guest judge Danny Jones—had correctly guessed Samantha’s identity, and when she finally revealed herself, her joy was undeniable. Smiling from ear to ear, she admitted, “I've had the best time. Underneath the mask, I've been smiling so hard—it's hurting my cheeks! It’s been amazing.” You could feel her excitement through the screen!
For Samantha, this experience was something completely different. She’s used to playing iconic roles, but here, she got to experiment with new styles every week and truly step outside her comfort zone. “I’ve lived a double life during this crazy experience,” she joked, reminiscing about her time in the elaborate Pufferfish costume.

But let’s not forget about the other finalists! Dressed Crab, who turned out to be the legendary Gregory Porter, was declared the runner-up, while Wolf was revealed to be none other than 80s icon Marti Pellow from Wet Wet Wet. Their unmaskings were just as thrilling, with Gregory humorously admitting he struggled with the restrictive costume, joking, “Who needs oxygen?” Meanwhile, Marti had the judges completely stunned, proving once again that The Masked Singer always delivers surprises.
What a season, what a finale, and what a winner! Samantha Barks has cemented her place in The Masked Singer history, proving that her talent knows no bounds. Now the real question is—who will take the crown next year? I guess we’ll have to wait and see! ðŸŽ✨
