MASKED Singer fans are convinced a legendary pop star and TWO soap icons are behind the masks after spotting new clues.
Saturday night’s Holiday-themed show ended in dramatic fashion when Toad in the Hole stormed off stage seconds after being told they were being sent home.
When they finally returned, US singer Macy Gray was revealed to be behind the Toad mask, and she didn’t look happy about her early exit.
She had found herself in the bottom two with Bear, and Masked Singer viewers are convinced he is one of TWO soap stars in the competition this year.
Bear, who performed a musical number from Oliver! on their first performance on The Masked Singer, shook things up with their version of Miami by Will Smith.
It left many convinced the man inside is actually Richard Blackwood, who has starred in both EastEnders and Hollyoaks.
Outside of his acting, Richard has also had a singing career, releasing three singles – with one reaching number three – and an album in 2000.
One viewer wrote on X: “Bear is deffo richard Blackwood his middle name is Clifford.”
Another posted: “Im here for the Richard Blackwood. Didn’t he release a song that could have gone to number 1?”
Meanwhile, Richard, 52, isn’t the only soap star Masked Singer fans think is competing this year.
After Bush performed their second song of the series, and a whole set of new clues were revealed, many felt the person inside could be EastEnders actress Natalie Cassidy.
One viewer shared their thoughts on X: “Natalie Cassidy has to be Bush. She was in season 9 of the house.. Big Brother…”

Not changing my guess!”
“Bush has gotta be Natalie Cassidy if it’s not I’ll go insane,” said a third.
While Natalie, 41, isn’t known for being a singer, the same can’t be said for the person viewers think is inside the Wolf costume.

Diving into the clues to explain their theory, one fan wrote: “Pope – did a cover of the folk song called Dante’s Prayer Ship – his great grandfather was a ship builder.
“Wolf pack – lead singer of pop group Wet Wet Wet. Fairy tale – has starred in pantos including Peter Pan.
“Has been on west end/Broadway. He was in the Broadway adaption of Jekyll and Hyde, hence the Jekyll and Hyde clue someone mentioned on the thread.”
Another agreed: “It is definitely him. I got the same feeling when Morten Harket did TMS a few years ago, I knew immediately.”
A third added: “100% Marti Pellow. The most obvious in the history of the show.”
The Masked Singer airs on ITV1 and is available on ITVX.
