Who is Bagpipes on The Masked Singer 2022?
THE Masked Singer is back on our screens for the 2022 series.
Bagpipes was hoping to blow their way through to the finals - but was the fourth contestant to be unmasked in season three.
Who is Bagpipes on The Masked Singer 2022?
Bagpipes first took to the stage in a face-off with Panda in episode two of the third season of The Masked Singer.
The costumed singer dropped clues such as they "started a new tradition" and that they've "been in this situation before and come out on top".
There was also a glimpse of tennis rackets with Davina McCall guessing Aussie player Pat Cash before changing to John McEnroe.
Bagpipes failed to win over the audience vote with their performance of Blur's Song 2 and ended up in the bottom three.
But the Scottish instrument made it through to the next round after being saved by the judges.
Bagpipes was aiming to hit the high notes on January 15, when they returned for Love Week.
THE MASKED SINGER
But they were once again at the bottom despite an energetic performance of Wheatus's Teenage Dirtbag.
This time the judges chose to save Poodle, meaning Bagpipes was unmasked.
In the VT, Bagpipes said, in a fake Scottish accent: "So you're questioning my accent are ya?
"If I was trying to disguise it, it would be a very cheap trick."
Other clues dropped included being healthy, juice drinks, straight talking and grass, as well as the waving of a chequered flag.
Judge Jonathan Ross was convinced it was John McEnroe claiming he would eat Bagpipes costume if it wasn't.
However, when Bagpipes lifted their mask it was revealed to be Pat Cash - the legendary Australian tennis player.
Pat said that he put on the accent to try and fool the judges.
The Cheap Trick fan was wearing his iconic chequered headband under his costume - which had been the guitar strap of his favourite band.
Referring to Davina guessing him, Pat said: "You guys were so close from the very first song.
"I think the first minute you guessed me. I was sitting there going 'That's a short visit on The Masked Singer'."
The Wimbledon champion, 56, revealed he had a podcast called Straight Talking and that the "new tradition" hinted at was that he as the first to climb up the stands after his 1987 win.
