‘The Masked Singer’s’ Most Shocking Reveals That Made Fans’ Jaws Drop
Snow Cone’s future on The Masked Singer is no longer unwritten.
One of the stars of MTV’s seminal ’00s hit The Hills was unmasked during the Fox reality competition series’ Feb. 25 episode: Heidi Montag.
Prior to the reality TV personality’s emotional send-off, Snow Cone performed the Spice Girls‘ breakout single “Wannabe” as part of a tribute night to the British girl group. The mystery celeb also teased the judges and viewers with some clues related to their true identity.
“The Spice Girls took over the world with girl power and left a legacy for generations to come,” Snow Cone shared in a video. “That’s all we can ask for, something to pass on. This is especially true for me and my husband. Together we built a home where our kids would grow up surrounded by love and laughter. Then, without warning, everything changed.”
Snow Cone then recounted a family tragedy that recently turned her world upside down.
“We lost everything,” she continued. “Photos, favorite toys. I mean, this is the home that my kids came home to from the hospital. God, I get so emotional. Putting our lives back together has tested me in ways I never imagined. But, you know what I’m learning? Nothing good or bad lasts forever, but love is our legacy.”
Unfortunately, Snow Cone landed in the bottom two of the night alongside Crane.
Ultimately, Snow Cone was eliminated. But before saying “goodbye,” the judges made their guesses.
Guest judge Taraji P. Henson put her money on Anna Faris while Robin Thicke chose Leighton Meester and Ken Jeong and Rita Ora both guessed Mandy Moore.
However, only Jenny McCarthy guessed that it was The Hills alum behind the delicious disguise. And Heidi got an assist from husband Spencer Pratt—who was dressed as Mr. Snow Cone—when it came time to remove her mask.

“This is a reunion, it’s my old school MTV family here,” host Nick Cannon exclaimed. “But having Spencer in every one of your performances—this is like a Masked Singer first.”
And Heidi—who along with her husband lost their home in the 2025 Los Angeles fire—was grateful he was there.
“It just gave me that extra calm and confidence,” she said, “and reality of like, ‘This is fun, but no matter what at the end of the day I have my husband here and we get to go home together and everything’s great.'”
And she was equally amazed by her time on the Masked Singer, saying, “I didn’t expect it to be such an emotional journey.”
She added, “It’s just been the best experience I’ve had in Hollywood.”
