Fox has a huge hit with “The Masked Singer,” a reality competition series that is adapted from the South Korean series of the same name. Nick Cannon introduces celebrities who perform songs while completely hidden in elaborate costumes. Part of the fun is guessing which famous faces are hidden behind these masks.

Nicole Scherzinger was way off when she said it was singing superstar Bruno Mars. Keep reading for “The Masked Singer” spoilers on the true identity of the Rottweiler.
