Punk Rock Icon John Lydon Revealed as Yak on Masked Singer

The identity of the Yak on ITV's The Masked Singer has been revealed as none other than punk rock legend John Lydon. The 69-year-old British musician, famously known as Johnny Rotten from his time with the Sex Pistols, was eliminated from the competition on Saturday night. His departure came after a sing-off against Monkey Business during the show's sports day-themed episode, which featured cricketer Freddie Flintoff as a guest judge.

Remarkably, Freddie Flintoff correctly guessed Lydon's identity as the glittering purple Yak from his initial performance of Olivia Newton-John's 'Physical'. Lydon, upon removing his mask, described the experience as "unbelievable" and expressed surprise at how quickly his identity was discerned. He admitted to trying his best to disguise his distinct voice to prolong his time on the show, joking that his efforts apparently succeeded to some extent.
