The Masked Singer UK Season 7's latest episode featured Yak's unmasking.

Before that, Monkey Business and Yak were in the bottom two. After their first performances, the judges revealed these two as the bottom contestants.

Later, they delivered yet another performance. However, fans couldn't guess who might be behind the Yak's mask. Ultimately, the Yak's identity was revealed to be John Lydon.

Some of the fans took to the social media platform X and shared their thoughts on Yak's performance. A few fans noted that Yak couldn't sing, while others demanded subtitles for Yak.

"Whoever Yak is, they can't sing #TheMaskedSingerUk," a fan of The Masked Singer UK wrote on X.
"How has Yak gone through. Bloody awful #TheMaskedSingerUK," another fan wrote.
"Back in the late 70s it would have been interesting to suggest to a snarling John Lydon that in 50 years time he’d be singing an Olivia Newton-John song, dressed as a Yak, on an ITV family show and enjoying it! Although, being him he’d probably ask “Why not?!”. #TheMaskedSingerUK," an X user wrote.
"Yak is John Lydon and I think he also did the American Masked Singer where he did a Jester but well done John you’ve made me giggle :) #TheMaskedSingerUK," one more person noted.
"Yak wins best costume. It’s gorgeous #TheMaskedSingerUK," another fan wrote.
"#Yak don’t sound very well, who ever he is Someone elderly? #TheMaskedSingerUK #MaskedSinger," an X user wrote.
"I know that #MaskedSingerUK is fixed and isn't a singing competition but... Why are the producers keeping in Yak?? Terrible speaking voice. Terrible singing voice. Where's the entertainment in that? #TheMaskedSingerUK #TheMaskedSinger," a netizen wrote.
"I need subtitles for Yak #TheMaskedSingerUK," one more fan wrote.
