The Masked Singer has us all hooked again, and this time, the Arctic Fox has everyone guessing! Who could be hiding behind that mask? Let's dive into the clues and fan theories that are swirling around the internet.
The show's seventh series kicked off with a bang, featuring a double-bill launch last weekend. We were introduced to 12 new characters, and the unmasking began immediately, revealing two celebrities: presenter Alex Jones, who was Disc Jockey, and musician Professor Green, who was Teabag. But the mystery of the remaining performers continues to intrigue us.
So, what do we know about the Arctic Fox so far?
We've only seen one performance, but the clues are piling up. Remember, some of these might be red herrings to throw us off! Here's what the Arctic Fox has revealed:
- An unfinished sketch of an Arctic Fox.
- The statement, "You may bow before me," while walking through a palace-like building.
- "I've worn many crowns in my time" and "always expect red carpet treatment."
- A card hand showing two eights and three aces (a full house in poker).
- "This Arctic Fox has sharp claws when needed."
- A jar labeled 'food for hungry bears.'
- Arctic Fox has "spent years perfecting my craft" in front of or behind the camera.
- A movie clapboard with 'Take 15' on it, as well as 'M. McFadyen' and 'C. O'Grady.'
But here's where it gets controversial...
What do the judges think? The panel is just as perplexed as we are! Initially, they couldn't even determine the performer's gender, but that changed with the deep voice. Davina was left more confused than before the performance, initially guessing Oscar-winning actress Glenn Close. Maya Jama connected the royal hints to the drag queens of RuPaul's Drag Race UK, suggesting finalist Bimini Bon Boulash. Jonathan Ross threw out a wild guess, claiming Queen Camilla could be under the costume. He also suggested Adam Lambert. Mo Gilligan linked the 'sketch' clue and the 'perfecting my craft' clue, leaning towards comedian Joe Lycett.
And this is the part most people miss...
What are the fans saying? Social media is buzzing with theories! The most popular guess? Strictly Come Dancing legend Anton Du Beke. One fan stated, "Arctic Fox is Anton Du Beke and it's not even close." Another added, "Arctic fox on #maskedsingeruk sounds so much like Anton Du Beke but I'm not sure the clues pointed to him at all." Other names tossed around include Rylan Clark and Richard E. Grant. Some fans have embraced Maya's Drag Race theory, suggesting Divina De Campo or Veronica Green.
Arctic Fox will return this weekend on ITV, where even more clues will be revealed. Tune in from 7 PM on Saturday night on ITV1 and STV. Catch up on last week's episodes on ITVX and STV Player.
