LUCKILY for telly fans, The Masked Singer made its highly-anticipated return to screens.
As the guessing game got underway, we met Tattoo. But who is the star hiding behind the stunning heart-shaped costume? We’ve got everything you need to know.
The Masked Singer sees a selection of stars wearing elaborate costumes taking to the stage to sing their hearts out in front of the judges in the hopes of being crowned champion.
As always, viewers will be tasked with working out the identity of twelve colourful characters including Dressed Crab, Snail and Bush.
One contestant hoping to being crowned the champion of The Masked Singer 2025 is Tattoo.
Tattoo appeared on the very first episode of this series, which aired on Saturday, January 4, 2025.
Several clues have been given so far about Tattoo’s identity:
Tattoo’s riddle was: “If you want a tattoo, then you surely have heard, you can’t beat a loved one with one special word”.
In the first episode of the 2025 series, judges Mo Gilligan, Davina McCall, Maya Jama and Jonathan Ross were joined by Sir Mo Farah on the panel.
While there was no consensus between them about who was behind the mask, the judges made a number of guesses.
They thought Tattoo could be Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, Emma Bunton, Cheryl, Jessie Wallace or Paloma Faith.
Internet detectives are convinced they know who Tattoo is on The Masked Singer.
One eagle-eyed viewer believes they have worked out that the star behind the mask is none other than noughties legend Nelly Furtado, listing six clues that the iconic singer is in fact Tattoo.
Taking to Reddit the super-fan penned: “I think the framed photo of Natalie Appleton isn’t a reference to a girlband, but actually is a clue to Tattoo being Canadian.
“The horseshoe, rabbits foot and four-leaf clover all symbolise luck. Nelly’s newest album is called ‘7’ which also represents luck
“The Robin Hood hat could be a clue to her second album being called Folklore.
“If we want to really stretch, as a teenager she worked in the Robin Hood Inn.
“I think there are references to the titles of songs on her newest album (I don’t know when this was filmed, so maybe it doesn’t work if it was filmed before the album was released).
“One of the songs on her newest album is called Crown, and another one is called Corazón, the Spanish word for heart, which was referenced multiple times in the clue package.
Going on, the Reddit user added: “Five weeks is 35 days, and Nelly Furtado has released 35 singles.
“The birds on her costume are clues to one of her most famous songs I’m Like a Bird.”
Other viewers have speculated that Tattoo could be Shaznay Lewis from All Saints, Enya, Kelly Bright, Su Pollard or Denise Welch.
One fan posted: “I think Tattoo on @MaskedSingerUK is Shaznay Lewis from All Saints! Never ever was number 1 for 5 weeks and there was an acting clue and she was in Bend it like Beckham.”
A second wrote: “I’ve changed my mind I think Tattoo is Denise Welch.”
While third said: “Tattoo is Su Pollard. Nailed on. #TheMaskedSingerUK“
Much to the delight of telly fans, The Masked Singer is back in 2025.
Twelve celebrities have been hidden behind intricate costumes, with their identities concealed.
Sadly, not all of this year’s whacky and wonderful characters can make it to the end of the show, as there can only be one winner.
Here’s who has been unmasked so far:
Pegasus – the mythical horse was revealed to be Prue Leith, with judge Jonathan Ross correctly guessing her identity
Spag Bol – this character was first to be unmasked and was none other than Good Morning Britain host Kate Garraway.
Plus there was one extra unmasking this season, with Giant Joel – a caricature of host Joel Dommett – unveiled as double-double Olympic champion Sir Mo Farah.
