The Masked Singer fans reckon they know who Poodle is
SO many clues 🕵️♀️
Last updated 4th Jan 2022
The Masked Singer is officially back, and even though we’ve only been treated to a few episodes of the hugely popular show, viewers think they’ve worked out who the elusive Poodle is.
We’ve still got a long way to go before we find out who is hiding under the weight of the costumes, but it doesn’t stop judges Davina McCall, Rita Ora, Mo Gilligan and Jonathan Ross and the fans from guessing.
After seeing Poodle perform on the most recent episode, fans are CONVINCED that Take That frontman Gary Barlow hiding under the colourful costume.
Despite references to dogs and ‘loving a bit of glamour’, viewers think Gary is hiding his accent by trying to sound American.
On fan tweeted: ‘Poodle sounds like Gary Barlow. #TheMaskedSingerUK.’
Another is certain that Gary is trying to hide his famous Northern twang: ‘Poodle is defo Gary Barlow putting an accent on #TheMaskedSingerUK’
One more wrote: ‘If poodle isn’t Gary Barlow I’ll be shocked !! #MaskedSingerUK’
Check out all of the characters on The Masked Singer series:
Panda - WINNER
Panda was crowned the third winner of The Masked Singer, with 'Torn' singer Natalie Imbruglia being behind the mask.
Mushroom - SECOND PLACE
Mushroom made it all the way to final, but was pipped to victory by Panda. Turns out it was Welsh singer Charlotte Church behind the mask!
Robobunny - THIRD PLACE
Robobunny had us all guessing throughout the series, but it was Westlife singer Mark Feehily under the mask! The star finished in third place behind Mushroom and Panda.
Rockhopper
RUMBLED: Destiny's Child singer Michelle Williams shocked the judges when she revealed herself as Rockhopper during the double elimination on Saturday 5th February!
Chandelier
RUMBLED: Poor Chandelier was rumbled in the first episode of The Masked Singer, but no one guessed that it was soul singer Heather Small - who had voice coach sessions to help hide her incredibly recognisable voice.
Snow Leopard
RUMBLED: Snow Leopard was unveiled as Loose Women's Gloria Hunniford after belting out Shirley Bassey's hit Big Spender.
Judge Jonathan Ross was spot on with his guess, as he admitted he would "recognise that voice anywhere".
Lionfish
RUMBLED: Lionfish was the third celebrity to be unmasked, with Rita Ora and Jonathan Ross correct in their guess - Pop Idol star Will Young!
Bagpipes
RUMBLED: Bagpipes was the fourth celebrity to be unmasked, with Australian Tennis star Pat Cash behind the mask!
Poodle
RUMBLED: After guesses of Gary Barlow, Reverend Richard Coles, Poodle was finally unmasked as Keane frontman Tom Chaplin.
Doughnuts
RUMBLED: Doughnuts was unveiled as former England footballer Michael Owen, who later apologised for 'burning ears' of viewers.
Firework
RUMBLED: Actress Jaime Winstone identified herself as Firework. The actress was in shock to learn her close friend and judge Rita Ora didn't guess her identity.
Traffic Cone
RUMBLED: Welsh singer Aled Jones was unmasked as Traffic Cone during a double eliminated on Saturday 5th February.
So far, we’ve been treated to performances from Doughnuts, Rockhopper, Traffic Cone and Bagpipes.
Two characters have also already been unmasked, with soul singer Heather Small unveiled as Chandelier and Snow Leopard unmasked as Loose Women’s Gloria Hunniford.
It isn’t just Poodles who fans think they have rumbled, many took to social media to admit that they think Bagpipes is none other than Love Island voiceover legend Iain Stirling.
In some of the clues, Bagpipes has links to music, tennis and is a lover of rock music as AC/DC was mentioned.
One viewer tweeted: 'I'm ready to 'bagpipe up' now, it's Iain Stirling! #MaskedSingerUK #MaskedSinger'
Another very excited viewer said: 'Oh C'mon it's definitely Iain Stirling behind Bagpipe #MaskedSingerUK'
Other guesses included Rod Stewert, Andy Murray and Richard Madden.
The Masked Singer continues on Saturday 8th January on ITV.
