The judging panel and viewers alike were stunned when it was revealed that The Masked Singer<\/a>\u2018s Rat<\/a> was none other than Strictly Come Dancing<\/a> judge Shirley Ballas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Giving her rendition of Nellie the Elephant by Toy Dolls, the judges guessed the likes of Kerry Katona<\/a>, Jodie Whittaker<\/a> and Claire Sweeney<\/a>, but no one came close to who was under the mask.<\/p>\n

Since being unmasked, Ballas has credited the show as the highlight of her career.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to say I\u2019ve had many experiences. That\u2019s by far the highlight of my career,\u201d she told RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press.<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cI enjoyed every minute of it. And I am desperately wanting them to give me the rat so I can stuff him and put him in a corner in my house because he is family for me now.\u201d<\/p>\n
