We’ve been saying it for weeks. So have you. Turns out Wizard from Masked Singer is X-Factor winner and Eurovision star Isaiah Firebrace.
Even Jackie O had called it on this very episode after unpacking the clue about the azalea flower – apparently a reference to X-Factor judge Iggy Azalea.
Tonight, he did cover of certified banger “Raise Your Glass” by P!nk and it actually slapped so hard. Shame he was booted so soon.
