As Masked Singer fans in the UK gear up for this weekend's semi final, the American version of the hit series has been hit by controversy after two of the judges walked off in protest at one of the celebrities on the show.
The Masked Singer started life in the US before crossing over the Atlantic to become an instant ratings success for ITV as millions of viewers try and work out the answer to the question 'who's that behind the mask?'
While the likes of Heather Small, Will Young and Michael Owen have now been unmasked on the UK Masked Singer, celebs have also been voted out of the American show as filming takes place on its latest series.

And it's the latest elimination that has found itself at the centre of a storm after judges Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke walked off the panel when former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani was unveiled.
Mayor of NYC at the time of the 9/11 terror attack, Guilani has become a controversial figure in recent years thanks to being Donald Trump's lawyer.
American publication Deadline reported that both Jeong, who appeared on the panel of the first series of The Masked Singer UK, left the panel after seeing Guiliani, before eventually returning to join colleagues Jenny McCarthy and Nicole Scherzinger.
It has not yet been confirmed what costume Guiliani wore or what song he sang, but news of the walk off made it over the other side of the Atlantic on Thursday morning when Lorraine Kelly spoke to her LA reporter Ross King on her ITV show.
Speaking about Guiliani, Ross said: "He's very divisive over here; a lot of people don't like him. So when he was unmasked, Ken Jeong and, also you had Robin Thicke, two of the judges, walked off.in disgust and in protest.
"They did eventually come back later on."
He added that the episode won't air on US TV until next month, telling Lorraine: "I believe the TV station may have leaked this one so everyone will be watching to see exactly what happened.
"So the old thing - no such thing as bad publicity."
