Nick Lachey appeared as a Piglet on The Masked Singer season 5

Lachey's costume of the Piglet was a pink pig wearing a shirt with suspenders and green shorts. His green cap had a rotor rotating overhead constantly, which added drama to his character.

He sang Speechless by Dan+ Shay on his first appearance. He lightened the atmosphere when he performed Good to be Alive (Hallelujah) by Andy Grammer, with quirky background dancers accentuating his performance.

The audience loved his performance of the chartbuster 7 Years by Lukas Graham. He also perfectly sang The Pretender by the Foo Fighters and Against All Odds by Phil Collins.

He paved a smooth way to the finals with his two last performances, which were classic songs. He sang Superstition by Stevie Wonders and Bruises by Lewis Capaldi, which were much appreciated by the judges and the audience.

Throughout his run in the show, he dropped plenty of clues for the audience and the judges to guess his identity but all the judges failed except for Jenny McCarthy, who won the Golden Ear trophy the second time because of her precise guess.
