The Masked Singer: All The Fan Theories As To Who Robin, Swan, Dragon, Sausage And Badger Are

Viewers of the ITV show reckon they already have it all worked out.
LOADINGERROR LOADING

The nation’s favourite guessing game was back on Boxing Day, as The Masked Singer returned to our screens for a second series.

The ITV show sees famous contestants sing in front of the celebrity panel while wearing an elaborate costume to disguise them, as Jonathan Ross, Rita Ora, Mo Gilligan and Davina McCall try to uncover who they are.

However, the real joy of the show is guessing along at home, and with viewers introduced to six new masked vocalists during the launch episode, social media has been awash with theories as to who they all might be...

Robin

There is one primary theory as to who Robin is, and that is former JLS singer and Strictly Come Dancing contestant Aston Merrygold.

Many fans of the boyband believed they spotted his voice straight away, while others thought a clue about Flying With Out Wings referred to the time JLS performed it on The X Factor. Aston also danced to Can’t Stop The Feeling – the song Robin sang – during his time on Strictly....

thinking @AstonMerrygold is robin on the masked singer... sang flying without wings with westlife on xfactor, danced to cant stop the feeling on strictly... just the thoughts ahah

Two seconds in and I KNOW Robin on the Masked Singer is @AstonMerrygold !!! #MaskedSingerUK

Me & @elliealabasterx are acc so sad, we knew from the first note Robin sang on masked singer that it’s Aston from JLS😂😂

— aim🖤 (@aims_louuXx) December 26, 2020

I’ve known that voice for 12 years. Don’t even watch the masked singer but got 5 seconds into a clip cause everyone is talking about it. That robin is deffo @AstonMerrygold without a doubt. Instantly recognisable, I’d bet my life on it tbh

Aston danced to can’t stop the feeling on strictly #TheMaskedSingerUK

— ps1 hagrid (@nikishilton) December 26, 2020

if the masked singer robin isn’t aston merrygold I’ll eat my sock

— soph ✨ (@sophdoeslife) December 26, 2020

We should point out too, that Aston also performed Rockin Robin on Stars In Their Eyes as a child, so perhaps the costume points to this. The EastEnders clue could also refer to one of JLS’ last TV performances, which took place on the soap’s set in aid of Children In Need in 2013.

However, a couple of other fans reckon Robin could be fellow X Factor star Olly Murs...

Calling it now that’s @ollymurs as the robin in the masked singer.

— Star Girl (@crazy_nicnac) December 26, 2020

Anyone else think robin from masked singer could be olly murs? #TheMaskedSingerUK

There’s also some people who believe it to be EastEnders star Jake Wood (aka Max Branning), given the nod to the soap and the fact Jake hosts a boxing podcast, as Robin said he was connected to the sport.

I’ve been pushed to watching Masked Singer and I’ve already guessed the first one.

Robin is Jake Wood

— sergeaurierbirthdayfanclub 🤴🏿🎂 (@joinerspurs) December 26, 2020

Jake Wood as Robin? Boxing podcast, performer, EastEnders... And, did he do lifts on Strictly? 😂#TheMaskedSingerUK

— Jo-Anne Rowney (@JoAnne_Rowney) December 26, 2020

And we are off lol thank god for something brill to watch finally over Christmas 👌😁1st guess-Robin aka Jake Wood (Max) from eastenders, fits with Ruby song & boxing 😜🤔 #TheMaskedSinger

— Tina Newman (@silverbullet2k1) December 26, 2020

Robin is Jake wood. Convinced. Eastenders ✅
Boxer ✅
Can dance ✅
Flew without wings on EE ✅#MaskedSingerUK

Swan

After Davina McCall presented the theory of Swan being Kimberley Wyatt – someone she used to work with on Sky’s Got To Dance – the majority of people on social media seemed to agree with her.

I agree on Kimberley Wyatt for Swan, and I think Michelle Visage for Dragon #MaskedSingerUK

— Mark (@marcouk73) December 26, 2020

The Swan is Kimberley Wyatt from Pussy Catdolls I think #MaskedSinger

— Kathryn Rose (@Katrosed01) December 26, 2020

SWAN IS DEFFO KIMBERLEY WYATT #MaskedSingerUK

— ash (@ashleyjhubbard) December 26, 2020

For swan I'm thinking one of the Pussycat dolls. I'm torn between Ashley Roberts and Kimberley Wyatt. #MaskedSingerUK

— Daz (@dazgale) December 26, 2020

There was a plausible argument that it could have been another of the Pussycat Dolls though – Nicole Scherzinger, who is actually a judge on the US version of The Masked Singer...

#MaskedSingerUK bare with me on this... America, coming full circle, then a ballroom.... Nicole Scherzinger. Dancing with the stars and also a judge on masked singer USA could she be Swan???

— alicew (@alicew05762093) December 26, 2020

Someone also presented a very strong theory for former Coronation Street star Kym Marsh...

I am *convinced* Kym Marsh is the Swan on Masked Singer and is just trying to put us off with the dodgiest American accent. The clues all fit. Coming full circle (Popstars), spreading her wings (leaving Hearsay), very honoured (acting awards) #MaskedSingerUK pic.twitter.com/kJkddCU1ox

— shane reaction ☘️ (@shane_reaction_) December 26, 2020

However, many people also went with Rita Ora’s guess of Michelle Visage due to the ballroom connection...

I’m watching Masked Singer for the first time ever and that swan HAS to be Michelle Visage and I’m 100% hooked.

— Sarah-Elizabeth Daly (@selizabethdaly) December 26, 2020

swan is 1000000% michelle visage !!! #TheMaskedSingerUK pic.twitter.com/1yCNqP7nZQ

— milly (@ameliaharvey_) December 26, 2020

The swan is defo Michelle Visage. She was on strictly, she judges drag queens on ru Paul #MaskedSingerUK

— Tiho (@TihoK) December 26, 2020

Dragon

However, when Dragon was next on the stage, Michelle’s name cropped up again on social media.

The ‘drag’ part of Dragon’s name could be in reference to RuPaul’s Drag Race while the costume’s rainbow flag is synonymous with the LGBTQ community, just like Michelle.

The dragon from the masked singer is Michelle’s Visage I’m telling ya...I’ve heard that voice many a times

— Chloe Louise Reubens (@xchloexlove) December 26, 2020

Who else thinks Michelle Visage as the dragon? #MaskedSingerUK

— Scott Bryan (@scottygb) December 26, 2020

Dragon is iconic therefore is 100% Michelle Visage #MaskedSingerUK pic.twitter.com/3hFMN0VzuJ

— Katie (@katiesim90) December 26, 2020

michelle visage was over here filming DRUK pls she is definitely the dragon #MaskedSingerUK

— rio #1 honeymoon stan🍒 (@lanadelr0ckwell) December 26, 2020

Others guessed former Drag Race contestant Courtney Act, who is also a singer...

Now I’m convinced the dragon on the masked singer is @courtneyact

— Nicola K (@klaustrup) December 26, 2020

Watching The masked singer lockdown has got to me... Courtney act could be dragon 🤯🧐 #TheMaskedSinger #MaskedSingerUK

— lantaa (@lantastokes) December 26, 2020

I’m watching The Masked Singer for the first time ever and if the Dragon isn’t Courtney Act imma sue

— Hannah Berry (@Hannah_Berry_27) December 26, 2020

I am convinced the dragon on The Masked Singer is Courtney Act.

Sausage

There’s two main names that seem to be floating around for sausage, the first being former popstar turned actor Billie Piper.

Viewers spotted the name of her first single, Because We Want To, in the clue package...

Sausage is Billie Piper!!!!
The clues were on the food stand 'Billie's'
+
Because we want to
= the name of Billie pipers first single

— @GaryHayles (@garyhayles85) December 26, 2020

Calling it now! Billie piper is the sausage in masked singer! In the clues the menu said billies menu and at the bottom it said because we want to! Which was billies first song! #TheMaskedSingerUK

— 🌟Tammi🌟 (@BuckyStilinski) December 26, 2020

Forgot about masked singer so just tuned in on dragon. I thought sausage might be Billie Piper but the voice sounds familiar af #maskedsingeruk

— Georgia (@Georgia2PointOh) December 26, 2020

Sausage to be Billie Piper?

Triple threat, with the hint of 'Because we want to' on the chippy...#MaskedSingerUK https://t.co/rFnBm01lEj

— Ben Jenkins (@benjenkinsco) December 26, 2020

Loose Women panellist Stacey Solomon’s name was also getting thrown around a lot after Rita’s suggestion it might be her...

Sausage sounds EXACTLY like Stacey Solomon when they talk. I am sticking with her. #MaskedSingerUK

— Minnie (@IlluminatePlayz) December 26, 2020

i thought sausage could be jesse j maybe? until stacey solomon was mentioned and now that’s all i can hear!

— em (@benhighwayx) December 26, 2020

I think Sausage is Stacey Solomon #MaskedSingerUK

— Jamie Lambert (@JamieCollabro) December 26, 2020

Changed my mind. Sausage - Stacey Solomon #TheMaskedSinger

— Matt Bateman he/him (@MattBateman1991) December 26, 2020

Other guesses ranged from Beverley Knight to Jessie J...

Anyone watch masked singer uk I think sausage and chips is Jessie j

— THE SAMMY- merrell twins 2020 (@sammyvvm) December 26, 2020

Watching Masked Singer. Never seen it before. So so bad 🤣. That sausage is Joss Stone though, know that voice!

— C (@WhatACharlie_) December 26, 2020

Definitely think @Beverleyknight is Sausage on The Masked Singer #TheMaskedSinger #TheMaskedSingerUK

— Faye (@Fayer20__x) December 26, 2020

Sausage on masked singer has to be Sheridan smith?! #maskedsinger

— HAYLEY CHIDLOW (@ChidlowHayley) December 26, 2020

Badger

Much like the panel, Badger’s identity seemed to have social media stumped, as there wasn’t a common name that got associated with it on Twitter.

However, some guesses ranged from Simply Red’s Mick Hucknall, to Gorillaz’s Damon Albarn...

Idk why I like the masked singer but anyway I think Badger is Daman Albarn.

— Chxr (@CHXR10969) December 26, 2020

Why am I getting Guy Martin vibes from the Badger on The Masked singer?

— Tasha ✨🌻 (@Tashanneking) December 26, 2020

Absolutely love the masked singer! If the badger isn’t Mick Hucknall I’ll eat my hat! #Maskedsingeruk

— 🐚 Shell Zenner 🐚 (@shellzenner) December 26, 2020

Badger on Masked Singer has got to be Will Young!!

— shan (@_batqueen) December 26, 2020

oomfs if you're watching the masked singer, there's no way the badger isn't someone from the gorillaz there's just no way

— lyss (@lvechrrymtin) December 26, 2020

Saturday night’s show saw the first singer unmasked after Alien landed in the bottom three alongside Badger and Swan.

And she turned out to be.... Sophie Ellis Bextor, who many people had already guessed on Twitter.

SPOILER ALERT 🚨 Did you KNOW this earthling was ALIEN? 👽😱 #MaskedSingerUK pic.twitter.com/Ihu5M8Bl2x

The Masked Singer continues next Saturday on ITV, when the next six mystery celebrities will be taking to the stage in an array of weird and wonderful costumes, as we try to guess their identities.
