MASKED Dancer crowned Gabby Douglas in the Cotton Candy costume as the winner in tonight’s shocking season finale.
The audience and judges Brian Austin Green, Paula Abdul, Ken Jeong and Ashley Tisdale were forced to choose between finalists The Tulip, The Sloth and Cotton Candy for the champion title.
The Sloth came in second place and stunned the judges when it was revealed to be Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
Paula and Brian both insisted correctly that the furry creature was the Dancing With The Stars pro.
While Ken believed the animal was Channing Tatum and Ashley admitted her guess was Hugh Jackman.
The Tulip came in third place and was unmasked to be Mackenzie Ziegler.
Paula’s final guess was the dancer was actress Liza Koshy while Ken predicted it was Lucy Hale.
90210 alum Brian predicted the pink flower was Sabrina Carpenter while Ashley assumed the third-placer was correct predicting Dance Mom’s star.
High School Musical star Ashley, 35, was moved to tears after Cotton Candy impressed with several flips during a routine to The Greatest Showman’s This Is Me.
“That was so beautiful, truly you were stunning,” the Disney Channel actress gushed.
Last week, Olympic gold medalist boxer Oscar De La Hoya was unveiled as The Zebra.
Once his identity was shared, the 48-year-old said: “This is the best experience I’ve ever had. But it was a lot harder than boxing.”
The 11-time boxing world champ was the 7th person sent home during the first season of The Masked Dancer – a spinoff to the popular The Masked Singer series.
Ice-T was unmasked during the premiere episode of the series, followed by the big reveal of Bill Nye the Science Guy being unmasked after competing as the Ice Cube.
During the third episode, kidnapping survivor Elizabeth Smart was revealed to be competing as Miss Moth.
Meanwhile, singer Brian McKnight was then unmasked after he was eliminated while competing as The Cricket.
Jersey Shore star Vinny Guadagnino was then revealed as The Hammerhead, while Jordin Sparks was unmasked as the Exotic Bird the week after.
