Natalie Imbruglia has been eliminated from The Masked Singer US, having won the UK version of the TV show in 2022.
The Australian star, who was disguised as Bluebell, failed to reach the quarter-final of the US competition following her performance of The Contours’ Do You Love Me during the 60s-themed week.

None of the panellists guessed 49-year-old Imbruglia’s identity correctly, with Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg guessing Naomi Watts, Ken Jeong suggesting it was Rose Byrne, Robin Thicke naming Isla Fisher and Rita Ora identifying Kylie Minogue.
The US quarter-finals currently feature Buffalo, Wasp and Goo, while other celebrities unmasked on this series of the show include US actresses Laverne Cox and Yvette Nicole Brown.
It comes after Imbruglia was crowned the winner of series three of The Masked Singer in the UK in 2022 as Panda, beating Welsh singer Charlotte Church, who was disguised as Mushroom, to the title.

Imbruglia first found fame starring as Beth Brennan in the Australian soap Neighbours in the early 1990s.
She began her singing career three years after leaving the show and had a worldwide hit with her cover of Ednaswap’s song Torn.
Imbruglia made headlines in October 2019 when she announced she had given birth to a boy named Max Valentine at the age of 44, with the help of IVF and a sperm donor.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
