The show has us hooked, and we're eager to unravel the mysteries behind each mask.
Joel Dommett introduced us to a motley crew of creatures this season, leaving us with a plethora of theories and speculations. So, let's dive into the best theories and reveals so far, as we attempt to guess who these famous faces are hiding beneath those oversized plastic heads.
Moth: The Iconic Sugababes Member?
After delivering an incredible performance of Mariah Carey's 'Hero' on Saturday, Moth has become a hot topic among viewers. Many signs, including chatter on social media, point to Keisha Buchanan from Sugababes as the possible identity. One fan on X wrote, "Just catching up on #TheMaskedSingerUK and Moth is 1000000% the iconic @keisha_buchanan – and she’s not even giving it her all yet vocally either. I can see her winning already!" Another agreed, "We see you Keisha Buchanan as Moth, I know that voice."
While Alexandra Burke and Jessie J were also mentioned by the judges, we're not convinced it's 80s Brat Pack actor Molly Ringwald.
Can of Worms: The Enigmatic Character?
Since making their grand entrance, Can of Worms has been a mystery. From a plate of pastries in their first video, suggesting a connection to breakfast TV, to their gardening remarks and framed photo of James May and Richard Hammond, this character is full of surprises. The judges initially mentioned Kaleb Cooper and Paul Whitehouse, while online, Ben Shepherd, Marvin Humes, and even Jeremy Clarkson have been thrown into the mix.
One fan on X suggested, "Oh hold on…those pastries, if they have ANY link to Bake Off, it may be to do with their companion show An Extra Slice & Tom Allen is one of the hosts of that show, so might be him."
Conkers: The Mysterious Singer?
Conkers' opening song, Myles Smith's 'Nice To Meet You', left viewers scratching their heads. Clues include being filmed near a castle, claiming to be "up for any challenge" but also "hiding in their shell", and surprisingly stating, "ghosts don't scare me." Maya Jama suggested actor Kiell Smith-Bynoe, who starred in 'Ghosts', while others guessed Olly Murs, Mark Owen, or Ben Shepherd.
Arctic Fox: The Actor-Director Contender?
Arctic Fox's performance of Pink's 'Get The Party Started' was accompanied by clues, including holding a full house of cards and a pot of food for hungry bears. They also hinted at being an actor-turned-director, "I spent years perfecting my craft whether in front of a camera or behind the scenes." Jonathan Ross suggested the actual Queen Camilla, but more likely, it's someone connected to the show 'The Crown'. Anton Du Beke is the current main contender, with one fan on X stating, "Arctic Fox is 100% Anton Du Beke!" and another agreeing due to a giveaway with their voice.
Toastie: The Iconic Singer?
Toastie's rendition of Aerosmith's 'Walk This Way' became an instant icon. In their video, they talked about "not giving up under pressure" and facing criticism in the past. The panel suggested Rebecca Ferguson, Fergie, and Emeli Sande, but many viewers believed it was Brenda Edwards from 'Loose Women'. One fan on X stated, "If it’s not Brenda Edwards, I’ll eat a toastie," while another added, "Calling it now, Toastie is Brenda Edwards."
Monkey Business: The Jet-Setting Celebrity?
Monkey Business' clues, including a snippet of the famous music played while they were on screen, hinted at a jet-setter. Wossy suggested 'Rivals' actor and comedian Katherine Parkinson, while judge Mo thought it could be Karren Brady. Fans on X leaned into the 'Apprentice' ideas, suggesting former contestants Sara Khan or Deborah Meaden.
Yak: The Tech-Free Traveler?
Yak's claim to be a 'yak of all trades' and their reference to tech-free travel pointed towards TV travel documentaries or shows. Judge Mo suggested a connection to the '90s film 'From Dusk Till Dawn' or the 2014 TV series. However, some viewers believed it wasn't a natural singer but a comedian like Ade Edmondson, with suggestions from Reece Shearsmith.
Sloth: The High-Energy Influencer?
Sloth, ironically, sang Matthew Wilder's 'Break My Stride' with an energetic routine. They began their video working out on camera, hinting at being an influencer or fitness guru. The judges suggested Joe Wicks and Sam Thompson, while viewers thought it could be Danny Jones from McFly or Mr Motivator.
Gargoyle: The 90s Icon?
After performing 'Filthy/Gorgeous' by Scissor Sisters, Gargoyle was revealed to be a 90s icon. The judges guessed everyone from Ruby Wax to Mollie King, while viewers on Reddit suggested Marcella Detroit from Shakespeare's Sister, citing her high-pitched vocals and the fact that Shakespeare's Sister's biggest song 'Stay' was released on January 13th, 1992, as a major clue.
As the show continues, we can't wait to see who else is unmasked and who will be crowned the winner of The Masked Singer 2026. Stay tuned for more exciting reveals and theories!
