FANS of The Masked Singer UK are convinced that they have rumbled the identity of Kingfisher and say he’s one half of a popular comedy duo.
The wacky ITV show is back for a fifth series, and viewers are once again enjoying the ultimate guessing game.
Kingfisher is one of the character on this year’s series of The Masked Singer, and now viewers reckon they know who it is.
The elaborate costume sees the bird wear a white shirt with black horizontal stripes and green overalls.
The character is accompanied by some fishing gear, which can be seen around their body, with the look finished off with some green boots.
Armchair detectives have now become convinced they know who is underneath the Kingfisher mask.
They believe it is Bob Mortimer, who is famous for his comedy duo with Vic Reeves called Vic and Bob.
The pair are best known for their 90s quiz show, Shooting Stars.
Speculating that Bob could be behind the mask, one fan wrote: “Surely it is Bob Mortimer!
“The fishing theme is way too obvious.”
While another said: “I’m still thinking Bob Mortimer!”
This one added: “Yep, defo Bob Mortimer, I just know it!”

Kingfisher clues to far
When Kingfisher was introduced on the show, the first clue stated how he was the “most majestic of all the birds“.
He also added how “there’s nothing better than a nice relaxing day down by the water”.
The lengthy first clue went on: “I’ve earned respect in my chosen career, and now it’s time for another feather in my fishing cap.
“I’m no warbler, but I have been known to showcase my kingfisher chorus from time to time.”
Kingfisher added: “Well, the feathers are preened, I’ve dressed for success. Hopefully, I’ll make it through with flying colours tonight.”
And the second clue stated: “Fishing and planting, digging and moving, to reap the rewards, you’d better get sowing.”
[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.
