The Great British Bake Off judge was unmasked after being placed in the bottom two with Bush.

Judges Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan, Maya Jama and Jonathan Ross were joined by Line of Duty star Vicky McClure to try and guess a group of new masked up stars.

Jonathan Ross was left cheering as he had guessed Prue Leith after her performance, the same as many viewers at home.

Writing on X, one viewer wrote: "Wooh! I guessed Prue Leith!"

Another shared: "Guessed correctly that Pegasus was Prue Leith!!"

"Amazing Prue is doing this at 84 yrs old, you go girl," said a third.

Others claimed it was easy to guess after Pegasus spoke in the VT and to the judges, as her South African accent made her recognisable.

One viewer pointed out: "Prue didn’t even hide her speaking voice in the VT."

Another viewer thought the same: "I love how I didn't know it was Prue Leith from her singing but the second she spoke it was so obviously her."

Yet other viewers could not get past Prue's age after the baking guru was revealed to be 84 years old.

"Prue looks amazing for 84!" said one viewer on X.

Another added: "Amazing Prue is doing this at 84 yrs old, you go girl."

The singer comes after TV presenter Kate Garraway was revealed to be Spag Bol, with ITV viewers left fuming that they had to wait until the Sunday night show to see the character unmasked.

After she was revealed, Kate laughed: "I can't sing and I kept telling [the producers] that but they said it doesn't matter."

She also told that she kept the reveal a secret from her own children, Darcey and Billy.

Kate laughed: "The kids don't know. Although they did catch me singing, and I said I'm doing something for charity and they said 'I hope you raise a lot of money!'"
