Last week, swimmer Sarah Sjöström had to leave "Masked singer" and this week it was another OS medalist's turn.

I had a higher pulse than when I competed in high jump, says Kajsa Bergqvist, 48, about the experience after being revealed as the Chess Queen.

Through clues about having "partied with royalty", "jumped around a bit" and "been courted by a prince in Monaco", the panel wildly guessed Izabella Scorupco, Bianca Ingrosso and Christine Meltzer.

But when a glass of red wine was introduced as an extra clue, Carina Berg exclaimed:

Kajsa Bergqvist is a well-educated sommelier?

Måns Zelmerlöw was skeptical and guessed that it was former Center Party leader Annie Lööf who was hiding in the chess-patterned dress.

I think maybe you don't deal with standing on stage and singing, he said.

After a duel against Sushin, where the Chess Queen was voted out first in group two, the panel got an explanation for the different clues. Bergqvist then said that it was never a question of a real flirt with the prince of Monaco.

I lived in Monaco for seven years, so then you hung out with that gang and Prince Albert liked athletic girls. But he's not my type, she said.

This is the fourth season of "Masked singer" on TV4. New panel members are Carina Berg and Behrouz "Berra" Badreh, who have joined veterans Pernilla Wahlgren and Måns Zelmerlöw.
