Not only did Holly Rey get revelead, but she was also crowned The Masked Singer SA winner.

Speaking to SMag, Holly Rey said:

“My family, friends and I couldn’t really celebrate because we still had a few weeks to go till the final episode was aired on TV. Though we shot the final episode several weeks ago where I won, it was only last night when I felt that all of this was real.

“I took a step away from the entertainment industry just to focus on my health, I was diagnosed with diabetes, so I needed to take it easy. However, it’s been amazing to be back... I’ve also just released new music, so I’m also excited about that.”
