Get ready for some serious sleuthing and singing sensation speculation! The Masked Singer 2026 has kicked off, and we're here to dive into the wild world of guessing who's behind those creative costumes!
With the festive season behind us, there's no better way to kickstart the new year than by trying to unravel the identities of these singing celebrities. And let me tell you, this season's lineup is a doozy!
But here's where it gets controversial... Some of these theories might just blow your mind, and we're about to dive into the best guesses so far.
Moth:
This talented singer wowed us with their rendition of Mariah Carey's 'Hero'. Many viewers, including some on social media, believe it could be Keisha Buchanan, the iconic voice of Sugababes. One fan wrote, "Moth is definitely Keisha Buchanan! Her vocals are unmistakable."
Other judges suggested Alexandra Burke or Jessie J, but one judge, Davina McCall, took a wild guess with '80s star Molly Ringwald. Who do you think it is?
Can of Worms:
Now, this costume is a real head-scratcher! With a plate of pastries and a love for gardening, this character has us stumped. Could it be someone from breakfast TV? The judges mentioned Kaleb Cooper, Paul Whitehouse, and even Ben Shepherd and Marvin Humes.
One fan on social media suggested Tom Allen, a host of 'An Extra Slice', due to the pastry connection. But here's the twist: what if it's even more unexpected, like Jeremy Clarkson himself?
Conkers:
Conkers' opening song, 'Nice To Meet You' by Myles Smith, has left us intrigued. The clues suggest a connection to a castle and a love for taking on challenges. One judge, Maya Jama, guessed actor Kiell Smith-Bynoe, but others suggested Olly Murs or Mark Owen.
Arctic Fox:
Their first performance, 'Get The Party Started' by Pink, was a hit! With clues like a full house of cards and a mention of wearing crowns, the judges went wild with guesses. Jonathan Ross even suggested Queen Camilla, which would be an epic twist!
However, the most popular guess so far is Strictly legend Anton Du Beke. One fan wrote, "Arctic Fox is definitely Anton! His voice is so unique."
Toastie:
Toastie's version of 'Walk This Way' by Aerosmith was an instant hit! In their video, they talked about facing criticism and hinted at a diamond and a crown. The panel suggested singers like Rebecca Ferguson and Fergie, but many viewers think it's Brenda Edwards from Loose Women.
One fan said, "If it's not Brenda, I'll eat a toastie!" Others guessed Judi Love or Alison Hammond.
Monkey Business:
This character had some serious 'Apprentice' vibes, even playing a snippet of the show's famous theme music. The judges guessed Katherine Parkinson and Karren Brady, while fans suggested former Apprentice contestants Sara Khan and Deborah Meaden.
Yak:
The hairy Yak claimed to be a "yak of all trades", but their clues pointed to TV travel shows. Judge Mo thought the reference to "from dusk til dawn" could be a '90s film or TV series. Another judge, Davina McCall, guessed Matt Willis due to his documentary about banning phones in schools.
Some viewers thought it might be a comedian like Ade Edmondson, with one fan suggesting Reece Shearsmith.
Sloth:
Ironically, Sloth is a high-energy creature who performed 'Break My Stride' by Matthew Wilder. They began with a workout video, leading some to believe it's an influencer or fitness guru. The judges guessed Joe Wicks and Sam Thompson, but viewers suggested Danny Jones from McFly or even Mr. Motivator.
Gargoyle:
Gargoyle's performance of 'Filthy/Gorgeous' by the Scissor Sisters revealed them to be a '90s icon. While the judges guessed various celebrities, viewers on Reddit had a different theory. One fan wrote, "It's Marcella Detroit from Shakespeare's Sister. The voice and clues fit perfectly."
