Who left The Masked Singer?
Piece of Cake took to the stage in a battle against Rhino, singing Ed Sheeran‘s Shivers.
But after the public vote, Piece of Cake landed in the bottom three along with Rubbish, and Jacket Potato.
The judges chose to save the other two acts, leaving Piece of Cake to be unmasked.
The panel’s guesses of Icelandic singer Björk, Irish DJ Annie Mac, comedian Ruby Wax, and pop icon Kylie Minogue proved way off the mark.
As the audience shouted “Take it off” the contestant lifted their costume to reveal legendary singer Lulu.
The Scottish singer is the second star to be eliminated from The Masked Singer UK 2023.
After she was unmasked, the star said: “I’m feeling a bit shocked, I was in and now I’m out.”
She added: “My grandchildren love this show, they love it, I love it, so that’s why I’m here.”
Host Joel McDermott asked: “Why did you decide to be piece of cake?”
Lulu replied: “Because I’m so terribly sweet…sometimes.”
What are the latest Masked Singer fan theories?
Fans of the show are already sharing their theories on which famous faces they believe are hiding behind the weird and wonderful costumes.
As the ultimate guessing game gets underway, here’s a look at all the fan theories so far.
Knitting
11
Knitting was the first singer to take to the stage during episode one.
In their clue package, Knitting had a Lancastrian accent and hinted at a connection with the world of theatre.
There was also one magpie – with many linking that to the Steps hit, One For Sorrow, and Newcastle.
There was also a mention of the number 26, which some fans felt could be related to a marathon.
Others worked out that 5, 6, 7, 8 – one of Steps’ biggest songs – added up to 26.
The character described themselves as being like a “big warm hello and cuddle”.
After linking all the clues together, fans believe Knitting could be Claire Richards from Steps, Jane Horrocks, Cheryl or Stacey Solomon.
Jellyfish
11
Swapping the sea for the stage, Jellyfish impressed both the judges and viewers with a rendition of Sweet Child O’Mine.
In their clue package, Jellyfish said what you see is what you get and that they create their own light and were all about love – while also giving hints that they were an artistic individual.
One part of the singer’s clue package showed the words Me written in shells – leaving the judges convinced there must be some link to the name Michelle.
They also added that they won unexpectedly before.
With all this in mind, fans are convinced Jellyfish could be either Kym Marsh, Amber Riley or Michelle McManus.
Cat and Mouse
11
The mystery duo performed an entertaining version of Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better while acting out a crime caper.
And eagle-eyed fans spotted a big giveaway when five different jars of spices were shown in the characters’ videotape before their performance.
In their clue package, there was also a mention of the figure 200,000,000 – leaving both the judges and viewers at home very confused.
Cat and Mouse also said they were no stranger to legalities and get right to the case and they know how to spin out a tale.
Now, fans of the hit ITV show are speculating Spice Girl Emma Bunton and Damage singer husband Jade Jones are behind the masks.
Other guesses include Chris and Rosie Ramsey.
But some also said the clues pointed to them being Martin and Shirlie Kemp.
Phoenix
11
After Phoenix took to the stage, the judges were convinced the singer could be an actor with the way they were delivering their clue package.
Judge Mo Gilligan said the VT tape even gave him Game Of Thrones vibes.
The singer behind the Phoenix costume then went on to say they had risen from the ashes and were good at reinventing themselves and that they were familiar with reincarnation.
They also hinted that as a youngster they were very quiet.
So far, guesses from viewers include Doctor Who star David Tennant or Kaiser Chiefs singer Ricky Wilson.
Others believe it’s Eurovision runner-up Sam Ryder or Lucifer actor Tom Ellis.
Otter
11
Otter remains a mystery to many – but some think they may have rumbled the star underneath the mask.
In their clue package there was a sign with rules and diving advice, with the initials spelling out Rada.
On the life buoy a shamrock was shown.
Otter also said they were naturally curious and just a little bit naughty as well as playful and they were known for resilience describing themselves as “otter of this world”.
With this in mind, fans are convinced Otter could be Fiona Shaw or Dawn French.
But some have opted for singer Kate Bush.
Jacket Potato
11
Fans are convinced they know the identity of Jacket Potato.
After the hot potato took to the stage fans quickly began to decipher the clues given and theories of which star-studded celeb was behind the mask began to surface.
The clues given by Jacket Potato were: “Like all good spuds, I’m smooth, creamy and occasionally baked.”
They also pulled out cards saying ‘Nosey Parker’, ‘Pig Face’, ‘Silly Billy’ and ‘Dog Nose’.
With all this in mind, fans have guessed that EastEnders legend Shane Richie is the man behind the mask.
Many fans have also speculated that Jacket Potato could either be a celebrity chef like Gordon Ramsay or Jamie Oliver.
Pigeon
11
After Pigeon’s first performance fans of the show immediately had their own theories of who which celebrity was flying through the competition.
In their clue package, Pigeon could be seen walking around London and was also seen with carrots in their handbag.
Pigeon also said they were “an old bird but aging has never bothered me and even though I may have ruffled a few feathers in my time, personally I’m unflappable so I’m good at being able to ask the tougher questions”.
Following Pigeon’s best rendition of TLC’s tune No Scrubs viewers spotted the star had a very clear Essex accent – and many think that could only mean one thing.
Fans belive glamourous self-confessed diva Gemma Collins is behind the mask.
Others have guessed TV star Emily Atack or her mum Kate Robbins.
Rhino
11
The Masked Singer fans are convinced the beady-eyed mask of Rhino disguises a boyband favourite.
The characters clues saw Rhino say: “I’m the authority in these parts,” and walked into a town called Cobalt.
Rhino also notably walked past three arrows and then looked at a book that said he was responsible for ‘2 Bad Jokes’.
In an extra clue, host Joel Dommett said that he was a “huge fan” of the person behind the mask.
Some are now insisting it’s a Year 3000 chart-topper from Busted.
In particular, Masked Singer fans think Charlie Simpson, 37, – who later left the band to start group Fightstar – is the hidden performer.
Others think James Arthur is the man behind the mask.
There were also suggestions that Rhino could be Duncan James from Blue or actor Keanu Reeves.
Fawn
11
Viewers are fast on their feet when it comes to guessing which star-studded celeb is singing behind the masked characters.
When revealing their clues, Fawn suggested that they were very sweet.
Fawn then added: “You might think that a fawn is a young deer but I’m certainly not the baby.
”Although, like a fawn, I admit that when I was younger I was somewhat awkward. Call me a boffin but Maths was a passion.
“Now that I’m all grown-up, I’m not awkward at all.”
Some fans are convinced BGT judge Amanda Holden is hiding behind the big doe-eyes.
Other guesses include Geri Horner, Emma Bunton, Carol Vorderman, Matt Lucas or Holly Willoughby.
Rubbish
11
After causing a stink on stage, viewers believe they have guessed which celeb Rubbish really is.
Speaking with a strong cockney accent, Rubbish said: “I’m the one that you’ve been waiting for and I’m here to work” as the character walked past a series of multi-coloured bins. A red bin read ‘No 1’.
Rubbish then added: “Cleaning up, that’s what I do best. We’re all solo and I’m here to do different things
“Inside of my bin is trash I’m compiling. As a person, I’m happy but you won’t see me smiling.”
With all those clues in mid, viewers put two and two together and came up with a number of different theories.
Over on social media, fans of the show were convinced that Rubbish is either JLS’s Marvin Humes or Aston Merrygold.
Others guessed singer Brian McFadden and Ricky Gervais.
