THE Masked Singer fans are convinced Traffic Cone’s first performance was a ballsy double bluff and it is Rick Astley.
The roadside object belted out Rick’s megahit Never Gonna Give You Up with a very authentic baritone.
It was so good that many viewers thought it was the man himself.
One wrote on Twitter: “I think traffic cone is actually Rick Astley!!”
A second posted: “I think traffic cone it is RickAstley he has just changed his voice slightly to throw us, like Heather Small did yesterday.”
A third said: “#MaskedSinger think traffic cone could be Rick Astley pretending not to be himself.”
However, his final clue put a question mark over the theory, as he said: “I made my money taking my top off.”
That led the judges to guess another pop singer, Peter Andre.
The studio audience was taken by the Cone, voting him through to the next round at the expense of Rockhopper.
The bird character performed Whitney Houston’s Higher Love, and Davina McCall thought it was Pussycat Doll Kimberley Wyatt.
Whoever it is, they are obviously a first class performer after the clues in their VT.
Appearing in a circus tent, Rockhopper danced to The Greatest Showman and spoke of their entertainment credentials.
