The Masked Singer's Echidna is the first to be revealed - and Jackie 'O' Henderson got it right
On Monday night's episode of The Masked Singer Australia, the Echidna was the first to be revealed.
Behind the mask was a sportsman with a surprisingly smooth voice - none other than tennis champion Mark Philippoussis.
Dannii Minogue was very close in her guess, singling out another tennis star, Bernard Tomic, instead.

Mark went on to say that he loves music and singing and enjoyed his time on the show.
'I mean...who doesn't love to sing? I love music. It was an incredible adventure and it was, you know, good to do something where you're uncomfortable,' he said.
'I definitely was uncomfortable in this mask, but it was an absolute pleasure and it was fun. I had some fun,' he added.

It seems lots of fans online got it right, too, with many Tweeting that their guess had been correct, and others delighted it was him.
'YESSSSSS!! Got it right! Mark Philippoussis! ' one Tweeted while another added: 'My work here is done. I'll quit while I'm ahead.'
'Mark wanted to win, with that voice,' another wrote, while someone else added: 'Mark Philippoussis is still hot as heck'.
Yet another fan chimed in: 'Before Echidna started singing my mum said 'that's Mark Philippoussis'. I just asked how on earth she knew and her response was 'something about his legs'.
