THE Masked Singer fans are convinced they’ve worked out the identity of Pufferfish – and it ‘is a legendary X Factor judge’.
The wacky ITV show is back for a fifth series, and viewers are once again enjoying the ultimate guessing game.
Internet-sleuths are now convinced they know who The Masked Singer‘s Pufferfish is.
The character has proved popular on the show, and now couch-detectives are trying to work out who is behind the mask.
Viewers have been busy sharing their guesses about who might be in the elaborate costume and there is one name that keeps popping up in fan theory forums.
Viewers are convinced that Pufferfish is The X Factor legend Dannii Minogue
Kylie Minogue‘s ‘s little sister was a judge on the show in from 2007 until 2010.
The singer and TV star’s name has lit up message boards as fans discuss who the character could be.
Taking to Reddit, one fan listed three big clues to suggest that Danni is in fact Pufferfish.
They read: “We heard material girl which she covered when she was very young.
“Empire State – Danni recorded her first album in New York.
“The dice, she performed backing vocals for the song sex dice.”
Other guesses about who Pufferfish could be include Jamie Lynne Spears, LeAnn Rimes, Alicia Keys, Brooke Shields, Perrie Edwards, and Nadine Coyle.
Meanwhile, last weekend the second Masked Singer contestant to be unmasked was Pegasus and was revealed to be Prue Leith.
On Saturday, judges Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan, Maya Jama and Jonathan Ross were joined by Line of Duty star Vicky McClure to try and guess a group of new masked up stars.
Writing on X, one viewer wrote: “Wooh! I guessed Prue Leith!”
Another shared: “Guessed correctly that Pegasus was Prue Leith!!
“Amazing Prue is doing this at 84 yrs old, you go girl,” said a third.
Others claimed it was easy to guess after Pegasus spoke in the VT and to the judges, as her South African accent made her recognisable.
One viewer pointed out: “Prue didn’t even hide her speaking voice in the VT.”
Another viewer thought the same: “I love how I didn’t know it was Prue Leith from her singing but the second she spoke it was so obviously her.”
Prue’s unmasking comes after TV presenter Kate Garraway was revealed to be Spag Bol.
Speaking on the show, the GMB host said: “I can’t sing and I kept telling [the producers] that but they said it doesn’t matter.”
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.
