MASKED Singer viewers are convinced Tattoo is a 90s girl group star, two years after their bandmate took part.
Tattoo is based on the stereotypical heart tattoos, with a feminine face as a head and the costume being a heart with flowers adorned around it.
There is also a big ribbon that has the word “LOVE” written on it, with an arrow piercing through the heart costume.
And X has been riddled with fan theories about who it could be behind the mask – with many speculating that it’s All Saints star Mel Blatt.
Online, one person wrote: “I also said Melanie Blatt for Tattoo. Teeth I’ve no idea yet, Kingfisher IS Harry Hill, Spag Bol maybe guess Kate Garraway.”
Someone else wrote: “Melanie Blatt is most definitely Tattoo.”
A third fan wrote: “Tattoo is Melanie Blatt surely?” and a fourth echoed: “On to All Saints, I had a crush on Melanie Blatt and I’m convinced it’s her.”

In fact, one eagle-eyed fan thinks they have guessed that the celeb behind the elaborate costume is in fact noughties legend Nelly Furtado.
Clues so far have been this riddle: “If you want a tattoo then you surely have heard, you can’t beat a loved one with one special word.”
And this opening monologue: “Oh hello there! It’s me, Tattoo. I’m so excited to be here. This tattoo doesn’t want to be hidden, I’m too firey for that. I might look all hearts and flowers, but don’t be fooled by my appearance.

“I’ve always followed my heart when it comes to my career, and this time, it’s led me here, to The Masked Singer.
“It’s the ultimate screen test, and it’s time I got in on the act.
“I’ll let you draw your own conclusions. I’m ready for my closeup tonight.”
After listening to her singing voice and dissecting the clues, fans at home have “figured out” who Tattoo really is.
[boxout headline=”Who won The Masked Singer 2025?” featured-image=”32646117″ intro=”Much to the delight of telly fans, The Masked Singer came back in 2025.”]Twelve celebrities were hidden behind intricate costumes, with their identities concealed.
Pufferfish – This year’s winner had flawless vocals throughout the competition. West End powerhouse Samantha Barks told the audience she’d loved every second of the series.
Dressed Crab – Former American football player turned jazz singer Gregory Porter was the man behind the crustacean. He duetted with Keala Settle, who previously competed as Air Fryer, in the final.
Wolf – Wet Wet Wet heartthrob Marti Pellow was unmasked as the rugged character. McFly’s Danny Jones, who won last year’s show as Piranha, was on the panel in the final and paid his respects to the Scottish crooner.
Bush – she didn’t fool viewers and the judges were so close, but Bush was in fact EastEnders legend Natalie Cassidy. Davina McCall came closest, guessing Morgana Robinson, who does a mean impression of the Sonia actress
Bear – another success for new judge Maya Jama as she guessed correctly that the singing Bear was none other than singer, songwriter Example – real name Elliot Gleave.
Snail – this singer certainly fooled the judges as the mask was lifted to reveal Andrea Corr. Jonathan Ross admitted to being a huge fan of The Corrs.
Kingfisher – everyone was convinced this was Harry Hill, but the mask was lifted to reveal artist Sir Grayson Perry, who is known for his alter-ego Claire.
Teeth – this character baffled judges and viewers with their changing voice. They were finally unmasked as former Bake Off host Mel Giedroyc. None of the panel managed to guess it was her.
Tattoo – despite Davina McCall saying “you sound the same” after this character was unmasked, none of the judges guessed it was 80s singer Carol Decker, whose hit China In Your Hand was a No1 hit for five weeks.
Toad In The Hole – a massive diva strop saw the character storm off the stage after the judges voted them off. They later returned to be unmasked as singer Macy Gray.
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.
Melanie, 49, achieved five chart-topping singles as a member of All Saints, including Never Ever and Pure Shores.
Her first major effort as a solo artist came in 2003 with a single called Do Me Wrong.
But she was dropped after it failed to become a major hit.
There were a few other tracks released but her last tune was in 2012, when she sang on electronic DJ Fur Coat’s track Fall’s Away.
Away from music, Melanie married Suart Zender, former bassist for Jamiroquai, in 1998.
The couple split in 2006.
They have a daughter Lilyella, who was born on November 20, 1998.
In October 2023, the star broke down in tears after opening up about major surgery that could have left her paralysed.
Melanie explained: “They discovered I had scoliosis a few months into stage school as I was doing ballet there and my ballet teacher was like ‘stand up straight’ and I was like, ‘I am’.”
Her mum added to the camera: “She had really badly twisted spine and the hospital informed us that if we didn’t put her in a brace and do this kind of thing she would probably be paralysed at the age of 21.
“So we left England, sold everything and went to France for her operation.”
