Before leaving the competition, Darwish performed her hit 1987 cover of “I Think We’re Alone Now” and dubbed the experience of being on the show “quite magical”.
Meanwhile, American actress and singer Keala Settle has been revealed as Air Fryer.
It was a massive learning experience and it was a game changer.''
Keala Settle
The theatre star told the judges that they did not make "many close" guesses, even though one of the hints pointed to her Golden Globe win for the musical The Greatest Showman.
When unmasked as Air Fryer during the show’s semi-final, Settle said she was "pleased and privileged to be able to do it" and there had been no physical difficulty with her square-style outfit.

One remaining character that has left fans at home working hard to guess their identity is Cricket - and viewers are convinced that the show-stopping sensation is in fact former child-star turned TV presenter, Reggie Yates.
Sharing their theory with other The Masked Singer fans, one viewer wrote: ‘’I think it’s Reggie Yates they mentioned a mouse…he voiced Rastamouse."
Elsewhere, some fans also think Cricket could be boxer Anthony Joshua.
One eagle-eyed viewer took to social media and said: ‘’Anthony Joshua who loves cricket; his management team have ventured into professional cycling; he's pals with Dizzee Rascal; he's 6'5 and he can sing!”
Other notable names that have been linked to the whacky and wonderful character include Simon Webbe and Lemar.
Bigfoot

Fans took to social media to share their theories, with one writing: "Big Foot has got to be Scott Mills, he is from Southampton, he is always going on about it!"

Piranha
Eagle-eyed fans of The Masked Singer have been left convinced that a huge noughties singing star is behind the Piranha mask.
As the guessing game continues, fans have taken to social media to reveal their theory that pop singer Jamie Cullum is the man behind the mask.
Judge Rita Ora even gave her suggestion on the show that she thought Jamie could be the mystery celebrity and it appears that fans agree.
Taking to X - formerly Twitter - to have their say, one person wrote: "Piranha so sounds like Jamie Cullum."
A second social media user said: "Piranha, I think, is either Paolo Nutini or Jamie Cullum on The Masked Singer."
