The Masked Singer fans are convinced that they have figured out who the mystery star behind Kingfisher is.
The ITV show returned to our TV screens tonight (January 18) with presenter Joel Dommett back on his hosting duties and fans claim to have ‘worked out’ Kingfisher’s identity after clues have hinted at a possible comedy icon.
Kingfisher took to the stage and sang Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls and after impressing with their vocals he received a warm cheer from the studio audience and judges.
After they sang their one line, viewers flooded social media with their theories with many saying it could be comedy and TV icon Harry Hill.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, One fan wrote: “Kingfisher is 100% Harry Hill. His first name was on the wheel, the other week, and he was on The Wheel on BBC1. The A+ paper was because he was a doctor! And that voice is obvious #TheMaskedSinger #TheMaskedSinger.”
Another convinced fan said: “Sounds sooo like Harry Hill to me #TheMaskedSinger #Kingfisher.” A third wrote: “Kingfisher feels so obviously Harry Hill, but Jonathan is protecting him so he stays a couple more weeks.”
One viewer commented: “#TheMaskedSinger Kingfisher is 100% Harry Hill and Jonathan Ross knows it is.” One fan said: “Kingfisher is Harry Hill.The minute he spoke on the opening show, I’m sure I got him.”
Meanwhile another added: “#Kingfisher is 100% Harry Hill. They are trying to throw us off the scent with the VTs but it’s definitely him #TheMaskedSinger.”
It comes as viewers previously speculated that Paul Whitehouse might be behind the mask of Kingfisher. During a recent appearance on ITV Lorraine show, the TV host couldn’t resist confronting the rumours head-on with Paul.
At the time, Paul said: “If I say ‘yes’, you won’t believe me and if I say ‘no’ you won’t believe me so..”
Paul later revealed who he suspected had been behind the mask, suggesting they were trying to “cleverly” frame him.
He informed the host: “Whoever has done it, Harry Hill, has very cleverly thrown the focus to me.” Lorraine’s interest was piqued as she replied: “Ohh you think it might be Harry Hill?”
Recognising his potential faux pas, Paul started to retract: “No, I mean there’s rumours flying around.”
