The Masked Singer 2026: Clues and Theories on Celebrity Singers
Red Panda: Who Could It Be?
In a recent performance, Red Panda sang “Big Girls Don’t Cry” by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, landing in the bottom three. Speculation points to various celebrity names, including Alan Carr and Simon Farnaby. However, panelist Jonathan Ross suggested Simon Le Bon, leading many viewers to believe that the Duran Duran frontman is indeed behind the mask. Clues supporting this theory include Red Panda’s comment on staying current with trends, alongside hints about performing solo and in groups.
Moth: A Compelling Candidate
Fans have speculated that Moth could be the talented Emilie Sandé. Clue packet 2 referenced a ‘Queen Bee,’ which some noted relates to Sandé’s past performance with the Bee Vocal Choir. Others propose it could be Kiesha Buchanan from Sugababes, given strong online support. One user claimed, “Moth is 1000000% the iconic Keisha Buchanan,” suggesting strong vocal prowess.
Sloth: The Mystery Continues
Sloth performed “Green Green Grass” by George Ezra, but did not impress everyone. While initial guesses included fitness personalities like Joe Wicks, most fans speculate that Sloth is Sam Thompson. His previous win on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here in 2023 adds more weight to this theory, particularly following his jungle performance. Clue interpretations, like the presence of handcuffs, hint at an incident where he was handcuffed to another celebrity.
Can of Worms: The Culinary Connection
Can of Worms wowed the audience with their rendition of Sean Paul’s “Temperature.” A juxtaposition of pastries in early clues led fans to question if this contestant might be linked to the culinary world. Speculation suggests Marvin Humes, whose Jamaican heritage and appearances on programs like This Morning could connect to the pastry clues. One interesting clue included a picture of Richard Hammond and James May, hinting further at Humes.
Conkers: A Conundrum of Names
Conkers rocked the stage with “I’m A Believer” by Smash Mouth, putting forth a strong performance. Fans are divided, with some suggesting it could be Richard Fleeshman based on clues associated with his acting career in Coronation Street and his musical background. Other names floated include Kiell Smith-Bynoe, Olly Murs, and Mark Owen, reflecting the competition’s range of possibilities.
Toastie: The Final Contender
After singing Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things,” viewers are still guessing Toastie’s identity. While many believe it is a female contestant, names speculated range from Mica Paris to Brenda Edwards.
