Kate Ceberano is 100% the Lion on The Masked Singer Australia and I won't hear otherwise.

You’d think Channel 10 might make The Masked Singer a wee bit harder next time.

Yes, there have been a few surprises in the reveals of Gretel Killeen as the dancing Octopus and Brett Lee as the singing Parrot, but even so, almost every other celebrity has been guessed by the public.

We (almost definitely) know Cody Simpson is the smooth-moving Robot and Deni Hines is the colourful Unicorn. And now, we’re almost certain we have discovered who the Lion is, too.

It’s Kate Ceberano and I won’t hear a word against it (unless… it’s not Kate Ceberano).
