Starfish is Kate Flannery
Following Wilson’s reveal, Starfish was the next contestant to be revealed and sent home.

"You are probably one of the most beloved characters of ‘Masked Singer’ history," Cannon told Flannery.
Panelist Ken Jeong was able to accurately predict that she was underneath the mask.
"I finally got someone right," Jeong said. "You are the most grounded celebrity we know."
