The Masked Singer UK returns tonight with the highly anticipated second episode of the second series, starring judges Jonathan Ross, Rita Ora, Davina McCall and Mo Gilligan
Tonight, the six other contestants out of the 12 total take the stage after the first six performed last week and the alien who was Sophie Ellis Bextor has been eliminated
With some subtle clues already revealed in the star’s mysterious costumes and in clips on the show’s social media, some fans believe they already know who is who
Some have suggested it could be Australian pop star Peter Andre, while others have suggested Jason Donovan and either Ant or Dec to host Geordie presenters I’m A Celeb Down Under
Others believe it’s rapper KSI or a kids TV presenter or someone from Countdown, based on the numbers and letters on the front of the costume
Bush Baby, who had an Australian accent, said he was “naughty and full of mischief” and was wearing a fez
He said he had tricks up his sleeve, revealed it wasn’t his first competition, and said his dressing room had been seen on TV many times
Fans predicted that Bush baby is Nick Knowles, Jason Donovan, John Torode, Adam Hills, and Mark Little
Rita suspected Bush baby Gino D’Acampo was, Mo suspected the Australian accent was incorrect, suspected it was Joe Swash, and Davina suspected Matt Lucas
The clue for seahorses goes like this: “A beautiful marine animal that hopes its song will swim
“This singer will hope he can ride off the crest of the waves and make it through to the last week
“There won’t be much time for horse games though as the judges will be in place to find out who is lurking beneath the surface”
On social media, so far, Steps’ Ruth Langsford and Claire Richards are suggestions for Seahorse’s identity
Seahorse said they were magical and unique, which led to speculation, including Holly Willoughby, Katie Price, Michaela Strachan, Coleen Nolan, and Helen Skelton
Others predicted Seahorse were Rochelle Humes, Carole Smilie, Kym Marsh, Susanna Reid, and even Danni Minogue when Seahorse sang from Kylie Minogue Can’t Get You Out Of My Head
Rita suspected Jessica Ennis Hill, Jonathan suspected Trisha Goddard, Davina suspected Debbie McGee, and Mo suspected Melanie Brown – but Jonathan disagreed
Mo was proven correct when the seahorse was revealed as Spice Girls star Mel B at the end of the episode
Many believed that she was Olivia Coleman because her husband stole toilet paper from Buckingham Palace
In a new teaser clip, Grandfather Watch says, “Will you guess who I am?” But some fans believe the clue is in the way the voice was camouflaged
Some think the voice has a “Doctor Who vibe,” with the suggestion that it could be the former Time Lord Tom Baker who, at 86, might fit the theme of the character’s grandfather
Talking about “time is running out”, he said he was counting every minute – and “who knows if you might need extra time”
He said he was a “goalkeeper” and there were football boots with spurs in the VT
Viewers suspected Chris Kamara, John Barnes, Michael Owen, Vinny Jones, Larry Lamb, Ian Wright and David James
Some think the Viking could be the spokesman for Love Island, Iain Stirling, just because he is Scottish
Viking pronounced his name with an emphasis on the “King” and said he was very curious, an explorer who has made his own way and is looking for a voice
Davina suspected he was Ledley King, Mo suspected Ricky Wilson, and Jonathan suspected Taron Egerton or Mika
The Viking said he also wore a different type of armor, which led Rita to suspect Game of Thrones star Alfie Allen
Harlequin’s mysterious hint reads: “Harlequin could be a prankster in a pack or a stunning singer”
Some fans believe the singer is a member of Girls Aloud
It would make sense since last year’s winner was Nicola Roberts, who was debunked as the queen bee
Other viewers are convinced Harlequin has a royal connection – based on last week’s theory that the swan was Meghan Markle
Her video teaser clip showed Harlequin in a palace with newspapers, and she said she may need to be pushed onto the stage and she was a stranger at karaoke
While some predicted the royal connection was due to it being the former Queen of the Jungle, Jacqueline Jossa,
Harlequin’s hint was that she was playing the male lead in a musical – who could she be?
This theory was developed based on the fact that Noel was on his Saturday night variety show, Noel’s House Party, alongside Mr. Blobby was playing
Blob said they were often called “four eyes” and were “tall, bright and brave”
The online guesses included Jack Whitehall, Romesh Ranganathan, and the most popular prediction was Lenny Henry
