Eagle-eyed Masked Singer fans 'sure' of Panda's identity after One Direction clue

The Masked Singer UK fans think they have worked out the celebrity under the Panda costume on the ITV series.

Natalie Imbruglia is now the favourite to be unmasked as the character, after the latest episode.

New clues and another performance teased who the mystery star was, leading to different suspicions from the panel and fans.

But one name in particular was tweeted a lot, as fans questioned if it was the Australian-British singer-songwriter.

In the clues, Panda said: "I like to follow my own path. Sometimes you find a fork in the road and make a choice to explore another avenue."

Panda then took to the stage to sing One Direction's song 'Story of my Life' - which prompted fans to take to Twitter and connect Natalie to the band as she appeared on the judging panel as a guest during the same series as the explosive boy band.

Taking to Twitter, one fan theorised: "Panda is Natalie Imbruglia, she was on the X factor panel when one direction were formed."

Another wrote: "I think Panda is Natalie Imbruglia," while a third agreed, "Panda is Natalie imbruglia."

Another social media user agreed: "I'm still sure this is Natalie Imbruglia"

Panda performed as one of eight contestants competing to stay on the show, ahead of the next elimination.

Last week, Pat Cash became the fourth celebrity to be unmasked as it was revealed he was Bagpipes on the show.

Panellist Jonathan Ross was convinced it was fellow tennis player John McEnroe behind the mask, and was stunned to find out he was wrong.

Will Young was third to be unveiled a week earlier, after fans correctly worked out he was Lionfish on the ITV series.

This followed the first two eliminations of the series earlier in the month, with Loose Women star Gloria Hunniford being unmasked as Snow Leopard in episode two, and singer Heather Small revealed to be Chandelier in the very first episode.

Viewers have been predicting for weeks who the mystery celebrities are underneath the remaining costumes.

On Saturday nigh’s show, it was Panda, Poodle, Firework, Mushroom, Doughnuts, Traffic Cone, Rockhopper and Robobunny taking to the stage.

As ever, Jonathan and his fellow panellists Rita Ora, Mo Gilligan and Davina McCall took it in turns to predict who was under the masks, as host Joel Dommett also tried to work it all out.

The Masked Singer UK airs Saturdays at 7pm on ITV.
