The Masked Singer UK fans are buzzing with theories as they reckon they’ve sussed out the person behind Kingfisher’s disguise.
Since its return to ITV earlier this month, a fresh roster of incognito celebs has stirred viewers’ curiosity, performing swathed in intricate outfits and disguises. Bush, Dressed Crab, Bear, Kingfisher, Pegasus, Pufferfish, Snail, Spag Bol, Tattoo, Teeth, Toad In The Hole and Wolf are among the enigmatic cast, while Davina McCall, Maya Jama, Mo Gilligan, and Jonathan Ross scrutinise their every move as judges, all hosted by the charismatic Joel Dommett.
Celebrities have already been revealed beneath the masks, with Toad In The Hole unveiled as Macy Gray, Pegasus as Prue Leith, Spag Bol as Kate Garraway and Tattoo as Carol Decker just last week. Hot on their heels, Teeth was discovered to be Mel Giedroyc just last week.
Now, sleuthing viewers are adamant they’ve cracked Kingfisher’s identity, suggesting that the voice could belong to an ex star. Over on , one viewer speculated: “I have a weird feeling king fisher is . I’m definitely wrong because I’m never right with this show but if you look up his albums I feel like it’s similar but I think I’ve probably convinced myself to think it does.”
