ITV Masked Singer fans have been left divided over judge Maya Jama’s guesses on Saturday’s show, with some even calling for her to be replaced.
This weekend, Kingfisher went home after being unveiled as Turner prize winning artist Sir Grayson Perry.
After it was decided that Kingfisher would be unmasked, the judges took turns guessing who may be about to be revealed.
Mo Gilligan guessed Harry Hill, while Davina McCall and Jonathan Ross guessed Joe Lycett. Out of left field, Jama guessed Simon Cowell.
However, it was the judges attempts to rumble Dressed Crab that grabbed fans attention.
Dressed Crab performed a soulful rendition California Dreamin’ by The Mamas & the Papas which left the Masked Singer studio stunned.

An impressed McCall observed“This is someone who is definitely a professional singer,” and guessed R&B singer-songwriter Michael Kiwanuka.
Gilligan suggested celebrated American jazz icon Gregory Porter, despite fans previously ruling him out.
Ross, despite admitting he was “none the wiser”, deduced Dressed Crab may be Lionel Richie based on an odd interpretation of the clue Idris.
Jama asked “So, Crab, who walks to the side that we all know and love? Guys, who's a side walker?" before declaring: "King Charles!”

A dumbfounded Ross asked: “How does he walk to the side?!"
“Well, he does a little sidestep doesn’t he?” the 30-year-old judge answered somewhat gingerly.
“Well done panel, there’s some wonderful guesses there! And Maya,” host Joel Dommett teased to laughter from the audience.
However, a few viewers were less impressed with Jama’s guessing - with some even calling for previous judge Rita Ora to return in her spot.
“King Charles? Maya is worse at this than Rita Ora. Ffs. #MaskedSingerUK,” one viewer exclaimed with another asking despairingly: “Is it just me that thinks Maya Jama is worse than Rita Ora? #maskedsingeruk”
A third slammed: "F**k off Maya ,Jonathan #maskedsingeruk if you can't guess sensibly give your seat to somebody else or to charity."

Another glowed: "Maya Jama has livened up the panel no end... smart, sexy and full of sass!#maskedsingeruk."
