We are now almost halfway through series two of marmite TV show The Masked Singer, with judges Rita Ora, Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan and Jonathan Ross, as well as viewers at home trying to work out which celebs are behind the amazing costumes.

With the likes of Sophie Ellis Bextor, Mel B, Martine McCutcheon and Glenn Hoddle all being revealed as Alien, Sea Horse, Swan and Grandfather Clock respectively, guesses are really starting to heat up.

Following Saturday night's episode, we saw Bush Baby perform 'Release Me' by Engelbert Humperdinck - in a week where their song choice was yet another clue about their true identity... Spoilers ahead!

Who was Bush Baby on The Masked Singer?

Bush Baby was unmasked as Cold Feet actor John Thomson in Episode 5! Although he was able to evade the judges' guesses, he unfortunately did not make it through to the next round, and viewers were thrilled to see him.

What did Bush Baby sing on The Masked Singer?

Episode 2: 'Delilah' by Tom Jones

Episode 4: 'A Little Less Conversation' by Elvis Presley vs. JXL

Episode 5: 'Release Me' by Engelbert Humperdinck

Who else was rumoured to be Bush Baby?

Despite the judges guessing celebs like Jamie Oliver, Matt Lucas, John Thomson and even Mary Berry, viewers at home thought it could be comedian and actor Brian Conley.

One fan wrote on Twitter, 'Brian Conley for bush baby #maskedsingeruk', with another adding, ' Bush baby could be Brian Conley I thinks... #MaskedSingerUK'.

A third then commented, 'Bush Baby is 100% Brian Conley', with another writing, 'I think Bush Baby is Brian Conley. No idea how or if the clues fit, but can hear Brian’s voice coming through when he sings.' (sic)

Bush Baby: Clues on The Masked Singer

We received a number of telling clues for Bush Baby! As well as a hint to magic tricks and drumming, Bush Baby hinted they've worked with both children and animals.

There's also been a lot of foodie references, resulting in the judges guessing the likes of Mary Berry and Jamie Oliver - however, this was actually a nod to John's appearance on Celebrity MasterChef.

And of course, Bush Baby also seemingly threw in some references to ABBA, saying that they "didn't say thank you for the music", and that "the winner takes it all". They also told us that they were a serious actor, reading a book by Chekov - which was a reference to John being a classically trained actor.

Check out all of the clues so far on The Masked Singer:

WINNER: Sausage - Joss Stone (Episode 8)

Sausage shocked almost everyone when she was unmasked as Joss Stone! Although a few viewers at home had guessed the soul singer, the panel had no clue it was her, leaving a lot of people pretty stunned!

Sang: 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)' by Whitney Houston and 'Rise Up' by Andra Day

Clues: Sausage told us this was the last stop on her tour, adding that although she'd been a sausage the whole time, she was actually entirely plant-based - this was a reference to Joss' animal rights activism. She also joked that she'd won an award that sounds like 'hammy' - a nod to her Grammy Award wins.

Judges' guesses: Ellie Goulding, Stacey Solomon, Pixie Lott, Sheridan Smith

Badger - Ne-Yo (Episode 8)

Badger came runner-up on The Masked Singer UK series 2... And was unmasked as US superstar Ne-Yo!

Clues: Robin told us that they'd made it to the final of another competition, and hoped he wouldn't make a 'berk' of himself - a nod to JLS making it to The X Factor final in 2008 and missing out to Alexandra Burke.

Bush Baby - John Thomson (Episode 5)

Bush Baby performed valiantly throughout the series, but was unmasked in Episode 5 as Cold Feet actor John Thomson! Although none of the judges guessed him in this episode, they did bring his name up in Episode 4. In Episode 5, all characters sang a song that was a clue towards their identity...


Sang: 'Release Me' by Engelbert Humperdinck - this is something he sang on The Fast Show.


Clues: Bush Baby told us they're not known for their good behaviour, but "know how to put on a show" as they opened up a suitcase full of magic tricks. They added that they loved the attention, and could be seen reading a book by Chekov - hinting how John is a classically trained actor.


Judges' guesses: David Hasselhoff, John Torode, Noel Fielding, Gino D'Acampo

Blob (Episode 5)

Blob's performance in Episode 5 has viewers pretty convinced that the person behind the mask is in fact Lenny Henry - but the judges have yet to guess him!


Sang: 'Hotel Room Service' by Pitbull (This could be a reference to Lenny's adverts with Premier Inn)


Clues: Blob was back in the school this time (which could be a reference to Lenny's role as a headteacher in 90s TV show Hope and Glory), and told us that they always 'stand up' (possible reference to Lenny's career as a stand-up comic?), adding that laughter can do truly wonderful things - building bridges and breaking barriers. Blob also told us a lesson they learned as a youngster - making yourself the punchline can win over the toughest of crowds.


Judges' guesses: Greg Davies, Joe Wicks, Ainsley Harriott, David Walliams

Sausage (Episode 5)

Sausage really has the judges scratching their heads - but viewers at home are pretty convinced it's Sheridan Smith!

Viking (Episode 5)

Sang: 'Take On Me' by A-ha (Morten could have been singing his own song!)


Clues: Viking told us that the odds are in their favour, and that over a billion people have watched them do their thing. There was also a reference to pop groups Spandau Ballet and A1 on a map (A1 rose to fame with a cover of 'Take On Me), as Viking told us that steel has proved useful in their career.


Judges' guesses: Ben Adams of A1, Matt and Luke Goss, Jerome Flynn and Pat Sharp

Badger (Episode 5)

Badger still has a lot of people stumped over their true identity, but a lot of people have been suggesting US singer Ne-Yo... Could it be?


Sang: 'Because of You' by Kelly Clarkson


Clues: Badger told us that they'd grown up in a large household, with all his family members being very creative. They told us it was their mum who opened them up to their gift when they were very young, adding that there was little room to spare - not even for a mouse in the house. Could that be a reference to The Mickey Mouse Club, where a lot of famous people found their fame?


Judges' guesses: Jamiroquai singer Jay Kay, Kelly Jones, Brian Cox, Tom Hardy

Dragon (Episode 5)

Dragon has kept the judges guessing each and every week, and fans of the show are now wondering whether it could be Shane Jenek AKA Drag Queen Courtney Act in there! Especially as Courtney recently uploaded a video with a caption that referenced 'Drag on'...


Sang: 'All by Myself' by Celine Dion (This could be a reference to Shane living in London due to the COVID-19 pandemic)


Clues: Dragon told us there was an "air of destiny" in becoming the dragon, as their journey started AND ended with a giant winged costume. They then fought with a soldier who was listening to a pink iPod, and said they were no oath-breaker. They said they've taken some perilous journeys which have led them back to the stage!


Judges' guesses: RuPaul, Julian Clary, Miranda Hart, Jennifer Saunders

Harlequin (Episode 5)

Harlequin has been a real head-scratcher for viewers and the judging panel. But after her performance in Episode 5, everyone has been left wondering whether her song choice was a double bluff... Could it actually be Tracy Chapman behind the mask?


Sang: 'Fast Car' by Tracy Chapman


Clues: Harlequin told us that they enjoy cleaning up, and showed us as much by polishing their trophies. Harlequin told us they're much more likely to be at home than out partying, but that they love a music festival - describing them as "lit" which is a word they've recently learned.


Judges' guesses: Sue Pollard, Grace Jones, Emeli Sande, Des'Ree

Robin (Episode 5)

Robin may have originally led us to believe that they're an athlete, but viewers at home are pretty convinced that Robin is Aston Merrygold from JLS!


Sang: 'Rockin' Robin' by Michael Jackson (Aston sang this on junior Stars In Their Eyes)


Clues: Robin told us we'll need the luck of the Irish to pin the name on them, adding that they might have winds but they don't stray far. Robin told us they focus their energy on things they're good at, and that the simple things in life taste the sweetest - before being handed a biscuit (Aston's nickname was Cookie).


Judges' guesses: Rylan, Olly Murs, Nicky Byrne

Grandfather Clock - Glenn Hoddle (Episode 4)

Footballing legend Glenn Hoddle was unmasked as Grandfather Clock in Episode 4! After all his sporty clues, he whittled it down further for us in Episode 4, going up against Viking in the bottom two but just missing out on a place in the next round.


Sang: 'You Make Me Feel So Young' by Frank Sinatra and 'Can't Smile Without You' by Barry Manilow


Clues: Grandfather Clock told us about how he was "saving" his real identity, adding that his timekeeping is very important and that his skills have been commentated on. He then showed letters addressed to SN1 2ED - the postcode of Swindon Town Football Club, also showing a postcard from Bulgaria and even admitted he'd "seen the Hand of God" with his "own two eyes". His two lies and one truth were:
1) Never worked in a bank but great at saving

3) People always give me stuff they don't like


Judges' guesses: Peter Shilton, Ian Wright, Gary Lineker, Lee Dixon

Sang: 'Smile' by Nat King Cole


Clues: Harlequin told us in her VT that "you'll have to be quick to catch this Harlequin", adding that she is fascinated by stories and loves to read, especially tales of horror and gore.

Sang: 'Watermelon Sugar' by Harry Styles


Clues: Viking told us that they live by their instincts, showing us an American flag and adding that they like doing their own thing and breaking the rules. They added that they're "not bound by chains" but that "success can be found when I break something". Their two lies and one truth were:

3) They're related to my sidekick

After a sing-off, the judges chose to save Sausage, and Martine was unmasked as the Swan!


Sang: 'I Am What I Am' by Gloria Gaynor and 'Black Velvet' by Alannah Myles.

3) "I might be a swan, but I'm also something of a cat woman"


Judges' guesses: Clare Danes, Ashley Roberts, Lily James, Idina Menzel

Sausage (Episode 3)

Sausage gave a powerhouse performance in Episode 3, but was surprisingly in the bottom two against Swan. After an incredible sing-off, the judges chose to save Sausage, and Swan was eliminated. After her clues, most viewers have become convinced that it's Sheridan Smith.


Sang: 'And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going' by Jennifer Hudson and 'Don't Let Go (Love)' by En Vogue

Robin (Episode 3)

Robin is keeping us all guessing, but viewers reckon they're closing in on which famous face could be behind THIS mask - although the clues pointed towards a footballing star, viewers are now convinced it could be Olly Murs or Aston Merrygold, who have both played Soccer Aid.


Sang: 'Dance Monkey' by Tones and I


Clues: There was yet another Westlife clue from Robin, this time saying he felt like he was in a "world of his own" during his previous performance.

3) "I started performing by doing impressions"


Judges' guesses: Bruno Mars, Olly Murs, Michael Owen, Nicky Byrne

Sang: 'I Don't Want to Miss a Thing' by Aerosmith


Clues: Badger told us we'd have to "get up extra early to catch" him, admitting that he'd been super shy as a youngster and wrote poems about the girls he'd liked. He added that he'd one day decided to show his friends what he could do, and then he'd blossomed. He finished off by saying his fur is black and white - and we also saw an Australian cork hat, which many thought could be a nod to I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! His two lies and one truth were:
1) "I'm good at dodging furniture"
2) "When working, I'm often found in green"
3) "Strictly speaking, dancing is something I'm well known for"


Judges' guesses: Alan Titchmarsh, Brian Cox, Will Young, Alan Partridge

Sang: 'Reach' by S Club 7


Clues: Dragon told us they could perform in a way they would never normally be able to behind the mask, adding that they can't work out if they're brave or silly. Dragon told us they'd do anything for a dare, and that's what got them started in their career. They met a boyfriend on stage, and performing in the costume hides their 'big belly'. Their two lies and one truth were:
1) "My name is my biggest clue"

3) "I know my own IQ backwards"


Judges' guesses: Katherine Ryan, Elijah Wood, Miranda Hart, Sara Blakely
