The culinary expert and television personality Michal Ansky was unmasked as the Pepper on the hit reality show "The Masked Singer", surprising both the judges and the viewers. During a special Eurovision episode, the Pepper became the second of the salad trio to leave the competition, leaving only the Tomato mask still in the running.
Throughout the season, the panel of judges struggled to guess the celebrity behind the Pepper costume, tossing around names such as Yael Bar Zohar, Moran Atias, Miki Mochter, Nelly Tager, Sandy Bar, and Adi Ashkenazi. None of them suspected the well-known food critic and TV host, whose hidden vocal talents impressed the audience. Ansky's participation featured numerous clever clues hinting at her personal and professional life, including her family's heritage, her television career, and her culinary studies in Italy.
Clues leading up to the reveal included references to her grandfather, who initiated the Bible Quiz launched on the tenth Independence Day of the State of Israel (Yom HaAtzmaut), her birth in October, and her judging role on Junior MasterChef. Other subtle hints pointed to her past relationship with Lior Miller, her radio work alongside Efrat Ansel, and her famous father, broadcaster Alex Ansky. The journey also touched upon her personal resilience, recalling her public battle with Bell's palsy and temporary loss of taste in 2019.
