During Wednesday’s episode of The Masked Singer, the duo Banana Split were able to give the judges a clue about their identities.
The pair gave Nicole, 43, a hint when she received a shirt that said “Garden.”
After looking at the gift, Nicole put together that the clue was a reference to Madison Square Garden.
The Banana told her: “Nicole, when you plant a little seed, and then you watch it grow and do great things over the years.”
Nicole became emotional and had trouble speaking as her eyes began to water up.
While wiping away from her eyes, she told the performers: “I’m trying not to cry right now."

MORE ELIMINATIONS
During last week's episode of The Masked Singer, fan favorite The Skunk was eliminated and revealed to be legendary singer Faith Evans.
Speaking about her time The Masked Singer, she told host Nick Cannon: “The first one was extremely tough, because, I chose to do a song that wasn’t so typical of the genre that people are used to hearing me sing.
“It wasn’t a song that I had sang before. And then because of that being the first performance, we had to make some adjustments to the mask especially.
"Because I couldn’t breathe and sweat was pouring from everywhere and I almost choked while I was singing.
"After that, I definitely said I’m going to go with songs that I’m 100% familiar with.”
As for why Faith chose the Skunk costume, she said: “I loved it. I loved the idea of it. And once I got into it, it was cumbersome. It was hot. But it was still sexy.

"And the reason I chose the skunk was because not only was it just a cute little sexy skunk, but because I’m biracial.
"I thought that the black and white thing, you know, but that was a little play on things.”
