"Because tonight, both of you…are safe! You are both going to the finale. Neither of you are getting unmasked tonight, so head backstage. You have a finale to prepare for," he said.

In fact, it was Lucky Duck who would be unmasked. Getting into the competition, Lucky Duck shared a few clues about himself, but the judges were left flabbergasted. "I've been bringing luck since the beginning, and during my time here, I've left no stone unturned. But one mystery still remains: Who am I?"

'As good as I am, this detective-ing thing is only a hobby. I spend most of my time on massive movie sets. Yes, even bigger than The Hangover. There's not an Oscar I don't know," he said, as Rita exclaimed: "I need to know who this is, it's completely killing me!"

Lucky Duck then impressed viewers with a choreographed dance to Queen's I Want to Break Free surrounded by backup dancers. The judges were desperate for the character to be unmasked - and Rita was given the shock of her life when the character was revealed to be her husband Taika Waititi.

The Anywhere singer then went to hug her husband on stage, as he joked the only way he would get to see her was by appearing on the show.

Speaking of their big day, the happy couple revealed they kept the numbers small. “There were about eight people there—just close friends and family, and parents on Zoom,” Hollywood film director Taika told Vogue magazine.

He added: “My daughters were there, and they made everything really fun and easy: I think just because we didn’t have the pressure of having caterers and all of these things, you know, people turning up late, and all of the different moving parts.”

"I felt really peaceful actually, it was almost like another day. We just all dressed up and got married," Rita concluded.
