Judges Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan and Rita Ora have their work cut out as they figure out who the celebrities are on this year’s The Masked Singer. The ITV series has returned bringing the crazy costumes and already some celebrities including Lulu have been un-masked.

Pigeon Clues

Week One:

Walking around London, Pigeon speaks with an Essex-style accent - something Rita Ora is not convinced by. "I might be an old bird but aging has never bothered me and even though I may have ruffled a few feathers in my time, personally I'm unflappable so I'm good at being able to ask the tougher questions," Pigeon said.

Pigeon can also be seen with carrots in their handbag. Pigeon's riddle was: "I'm an old pigeon mama and I've such a warm heart. Let me share some of my wisdom, life imitates art."

Week Four: Pigeon suggested they were very chatting and either have a title role or a show with their name in the title. They said they are passionate about what they believe in and will always chat about their views.

The character also mentioned Birds of a Feather and being in the top ten of something.

Pigeon Guesses

"Could it be the Queen Consort Camilla Parker-Bowles?" suggested Jonathan Ross and the audience laughed. Meanwhile, Rita Ora was convinced that Pigeon is a young person. She said that she thought it could be new Love Island presenter Maya Jama.

Mo Gilligan speculated that Pigeon could be The Only Way is Essex's Gemma Collins, as the character sounds like her. And Davina McCall said that Pigeon is a comedian, namely Emily Atack from The Inbetweeners.

In week four Davina said Pigeon was very funny and stuck with Emily Atack as she also has a title show. Rita went for Loose Women presenter Stacey Solomon as she is very chatty, Jonathan joked the dance moves were like Theresa May and also said Linda Robson who is also a Loose Women presenter and starred in Birds of a Feather.

Mo went for Gemma Collins due to the Essex accent of Pigeon.

Fan Theories

Numerous people thought that Pigeon was The Inbetweeners' Emily Atack. One person simply wrote: "Pigeon is @EmAtack." And a second echoed this, writing: "Pigeon is either Emily Atack or her mum Kate Robbins."

Some fans were conflicted between Emily Atack and Linda Robson, others echoed Mo's guess of Gemma Collins and some said comedian Katherine Ryan.

The Masked Singer continues next Saturday on ITV1 and ITVX. For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
