Crocodile finished in third place and Nick Carter, 40, of the Backstreet Boys removed his reptilian mask.

LeAnn after removing her Sun mask told show host Nick Cannon, 40, that participating on the show was an ‘overwhelming experience’.

‘I didn’t expect this to be this much work, I have to say. …I was thinking like, ”Oh, come on. This will be easy. This will be fun.” And it was a blast,’ said the Grammy-winning singer.

‘I’ve totally been brought back to when I was a kid. And I remember I was five years old when I told everyone I wanted to sing. And I’ve always wondered, like, how I knew at that age that I wanted to sing. And I kind of discovered it again behind this mask, and it was to give and receive love. And that’s, like, totally what happened,’ LeAnn added.

Ken, 51, told LeAnn that every song she performed on The Masked Singer ‘was like an album in of itself’.

‘And I felt like you took me as a listener on a journey and just really bared your soul, and I’ve never felt that on this show before,’ Ken told the singer.

LeAnn earlier during the finale performed the 2007 song The Story by Brandi Carlile that she previously covered for her Remnants album.

The singer during her clues package reflected on her position in the show while reflecting on her career.

‘You know, I’ve been in the industry a really long time, since I was a kid. Depending on when you discovered me has probably influenced who you think I am. You might see me as the little girl with big dreams, or a pop princess, or the more grounded woman I am today. But as the Sun, for the first time in my career, I’ve gotten to show that I’m all of those things and more,’ she said.

The Sun during the semifinals brought the panelists to tears with her emotional rendition of When The Party’s Over by Billie Eilish and said her finale song was a ‘tribute’ to the person who has encouraged her to fly.

Hard work: ‘I didn’t expect this to be this much work, I have to say. …I was thinking like, ”Oh, come on. This will be easy. This will be fun.” And it was a blast,’ said the Grammy-winning singer

‘Our bond is a testament that love really does conquer all,’ she said.

LeAnn has been married since April 2011 to actor Eddie Cibrian, 47, after it was revealed they had an affair while both were married.

Eddie has sons Mason, 17, and Jake, 13, with ex-wife Brandi Glanville, 48.

‘Honestly, the best part of this has been people being able to feel the essence of me without the preconceived idea of who or what I am. And I feel like for the first time, people are actually hearing me and feeling me,’ she said.

‘And that makes me really happy,’ Sun added with her voice cracking.
