The Masked Singer is slowly but surely uncovering the famous celebrities hidden beneath the frankly insane costumes week by week.

We’ve got a while to go before we find out who is the official winner of series three, but it doesn’t stop judges Davina McCall, Rita Ora, Mo Gilligan and Jonathan Ross and viewers throwing their guesses in on who they could be.

And after seeing Panda perform on the most recent episode and hearing a clue when she sung One Direction's 'Story Of My Life', viewers think that Australian singer Natalie Imbruglia could be Panda. There was also a clue when she used the words 'One Direction' during her speaking segments in the recent episode. Die hard One Direction fans will remember the boyband famously sung Natalie's song 'Torn' in their X Factor Judges' Houses audition back in 2011.

Another clue saw Panda saying: "I like to follow my own path. Sometimes you find a fork in the road and make a choice to explore another avenue."

"You thought you were going in one direction but you find yourself going another. And that's exciting!"

One viewer tweeted: ‘Panda is 10000% Natalie Imbruglia, not only did she sing a 1D song (they sang torn on the xfactor) but also the marshmallows that had ‘TWDFL’ on them could be a reference to a show she was in called things we do for love! #MaskedSingerUK #TheMaskedSinger.’

Another said: 'Ok Panda, still think that's Natalie Imbruglia! Story of my life = one direction = x factor = Natalie was a judge on that, 1D sang Torn at judges houses. #MaskedSingerUK.'
