THE Masked Singer 2025 has kicked off with brand-new batch of celebrities sporting crazy and colourful costumes.
In a bid to conceal their identity, one star stepped into the Pufferfish costume and took to The Masked Singer stage – here’s who fans believe is hiding behind the Pufferfish mask.
Pufferfish is just one of many crazy characters starring on the latest series of The Masked Singer.
After being chosen by judge Jonathan Ross to take to the stage, the star shocked fans with their impressive performance of a Chappell Roan track.
Also joining Jonathan on the panel are returning judges Davina McCall and Mo Gilligan.
For the 2025 series, Love Island host Maya Jama has also joined the judging panel.
Speaking ahead of the opening show, the new addition to The Masked Singer said: ”I’m such a Masked Singer fan, so joining the panel alongside Davina, Jonathan, and Mo – and of course working with Joel – is going to be so much fun!
“I can’t wait to figure out who’s underneath all those incredible costumes, vibe to their performances, and get front-row seats to the unmaskings.
“I’ve watched the show for a long time, so I’m definitely bringing my A-game to the panel!”
Luckily for viewers, Pufferfish has shared a selection of helpful hints.
The clues shared so far include:
They also shared the riddle: ”Being puffed up all day can feel so excessive, sometimes being small is just as impressive.”
So far, there have been several names linked to Pufferfish.
Newbie Maya guessed US star Nicole Richie and guest judge Vicky McClure opted for Kelly Osbourne.
Other judge theories include US actress Hayden Panettiere and Sort Your Life Out host and former X Factor singer, Stacey Solomon.
After performing Chappell Roan’s Good Luck, Babe!, many viewers were convinced that Pufferfish was singing sensation Alicia Keys.
Taking to X, one viewer wrote: “Omg could Pufferfish actually be Alicia Keys?!”
Elsewhere, a second viewer added: “‘Empire state so Alicia Keyes?”
And a third explained: ”I haven’t got an idea with Pufferfish yet. Maybe Alicia Keys or Jamie Lynne Spears.”
Much to the delight of telly fans, The Masked Singer is back for 2025.
Sadly for the stars, not all of this year’s whacky and wonderful characters can make make it to the end of the show.
Here’s who has left The Masked Singer so far:
