THE Masked Singer fans have been desperately trying to crack the case of the Dressed Crab – with a new wild theory believing it’s a Hollywood star.
As the ITV guessing game continues, Dressed Crab has become a firm favourite thanks to their belting singing voice and elaborate costume.
Now fans are beginning to think it’s a two-time Oscar nominated actor who shot to fame in Fear The Walking Dead.
Following the latest clues this week, fans took to X to share their theories.
“Really hope it’s not Billie Porter (sic) as dressed crab and it’s Colman Domingo,” wrote one.
“Crab sounds like Colman Domingo or Gregory Porter,” said a second.
“Is Colman Domingo a crab on the masked singer rn?” noted a third.
Colman Domingo shot to fame as Victor Strand in Fear The Walking Dead, the first spin-off of the beloved Walking Dead franchise, appearing in 109 episodes.
He’s now up for Best Actor again at this year’s Academy Awards for his leading role in Sing Sing, and earned a nod last year for his performance in Rustin.
Other credits include Euphoria, Netflix’s The Madness, The Color Purple and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.
On top of his acting skills, Colman become beloved for his acting abilities as well as his red carpet style – often stealing the show thanks to his elaborately-designed bespoke designer suits.
The Masked Singer has made hints that Dressed Crab is an American actor, previously showing an American football helmet, NFL insignia, and a film roll.

However, there’s also been suggestions they could be connected to the Marvel Universe, which Colman is yet to be a part of, and connections to riddles.
Song choices for Dressed Crab so far include Lenny Kravitz’s Are You Gonna Go My Way? and the classic Lean On Me by Bill Withers.
Previous suggestions included ex-NFL linebacker Terry Crews, ex-Strictly star Jason Bell, Randy Newman, Billy Porter, Billy Ocean or Clarke Peters.
[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.
