What's your guess?

Four weeks into the brand new fourth series of The Masked Singer, and viewers are once again hooked on the bonkers celebrity singing show.

Whilst the identities of Ghost, Piece of Cake, Rubbish, and Cat & Mouse have all been revealed, fans of the show are still intrigued by characters such as Pigeon, Knitting, Jacket Potato. Jelly Fish and Fawn.

But after Saturday night's show, which saw snooker player Stephen Hendry unmasked as Rubbish, viewers are now convinced they've worked out which celebrity is behind Pigeon.

Who is Pigeon on The Masked Singer?

Although Pigeon's identity hasn't yet been unveiled, many viewers believe The Inbetweeners star Emily Atack is behind the mask.

Taking to social media to express their findings, one fan wrote: 'Pigeon is Emily Atack, I’m convinced. She was in an episode of ‘Birds of a Feather’ a few years back #MaskedSingerUK'. (sic)

Another wrote: 'I think pigeon is Emily Atack cos she’s good at impressions #MaskedSingerUK', with another writing: 'I have said this from D1......Pigeon is definitely Emily Atack #MaskedSingerUK'. (sic)

A fourth then commented: 'Pigeon’s “voice” does sound like Emily Atack’s impression of Gemma Collins, which would be very meta #MaskedSingerUK'. (sic)

Emily appeared as Charlotte Hinchcliffe in comedy The Inbetweeners between 2008-2010, before going on to star in reality shows such as Dancing On Ice and I'm A Celebrity.

As well as appearing as a captain on Celebrity Juice, Emily also starred in her own comedy series called The Emily Atack Show.

Other guesses for Pigeon include Catherine Tate, Linda Robson, Lesley Joseph and Gemma Collins.

Check out all of the characters on this year's The Masked Singer:

As we hold out to discover the identity of the remaining characters, Saturday's (21st January) episode saw Rubbish battle it out in the bottom two against Jacket Potato.

After judges Rita Ora, Mo Gilligan, Jonathan Ross and Davina McCall chose to save Jacket Potato, legendary snooker player Stephen Hendry was unmasked as Rubbish.
