Who is Masked Singer's Jellyfish? Fans convinced of identity due to voice but clues 'don't add up'

It's taken just two performances for Masked Singer fans to be '100% sure' of Jellyfish 's identity, with her powerhouse vocals being the big giveaway when they returned to the stage on Saturday night.

When she first performed back on New Year's Day, there were plenty of viewers who were confident Jellyfish was Michelle Williams, despite the fact that the Destiny's Child star has already been on both the UK and US version of the show.

After making it safely through round one, Jellyfish was back on stage to perform Hozier's Take Me To Church, with Rita Ora declaring one of the best vocal she'd witnessed on The Masked Singer, guessing that it could be singer and Little Mermaid actress Halle Bailey inside the costume, while Mo Gilligan took a punt at it being Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock.

Other guesses from fans on Twitter included former X Factor finalist Cher Lloyd, The Vixen from The Chase and Emeli Sande. but, while they couldn't find a clear between the latest clues and the Glee star, the name that cropped up time and time again was Amber Riley, who played Mercedes in the American show.

There was one clue that referred to the person in question being frequently known by 'one name', which could link to the car brand Mercedes or, the fact that Amber likes to e known as Riley now. but it was Jellyfish's vocals that had her as a nailed on guess for many fans watching at home, despite the fact that, like Michelle, she too has been on American version of The Masked Singer.

Extremely confident it was Amber behind the mask, one tweeted: "It's Amber Riley in the Jellyfish! She goes by Riley now, so the second clue is right. Love that woman," with a second, equally sure, posting: "I don't know if the clues line up, but that voice sure as hell is Amber Riley!"

Echoing that sentiment, a third reacted: "Ok but jellyfish is 100% Amber Riley. 0 doubt"

Casting doubt on it being Amber, another viewer wrote: "Jellyfish does sound like Amber Riley, but seeing as she just won the American version a month ago, I doubt it's her. Plus the clues don't add up"
