Masked Singer UK’s second season keeps viewers busy as they grapple with theories that celebs are behind the costumes.
Tonight, the second celebrity was exposed at the end of the show when the judges voted Seahorse out.
Mel B was behind the disguise – which Rita Ora, Davina McCall and Mo Gilligan guessed correctly.
But the fans of the show still don’t know the identities of the Harlequin, Bush Baby, Grandfather Clock, Viking and Blob.

What are the best and funniest theories about any masked singer? Continue reading…
Who is harlequin
We thought she might be Ruth Langsford at first because she’s a bit posh and, when it comes to cards, pointed out that she’s a bit of Jack. Her teenage son with husband Eamonn Holmes is called Jack!
But then she started singing and it just didn’t sound like Ruth would, even in a disguise.
Singer Gabrielle is a popular pick on Twitter.
I loved Harlequin’s costume and for me it could be Gabrielle singing Rise, Dreams, and Out of Reach for the Bridget Jones Diary #TheMaskedSinger

Who is bush baby
Bush Baby tried to fake an Australian accent but didn’t fool anyone. We may have thought Shane Richie, but we are not totally sold to him. Though some people on social media had the same idea.
Mo suggested Joe Swash, which seems like a pretty good reputation.
Other theories include MasterChef judge and head chef John Torode, who is actually an Australian.
Many viewers also thought of another celebrity from Down Under, Mark Little, who played Joe Dingle in Neighbors. Fake a bad accent to keep people from smelling?
Who is a grandfather clock?
Given all the clues – goalkeepers, lions, spurs – most viewers’ theories centered on footballers, from David James and Vinnie Jones to David Seaman and Gary Lineker.
One guess to the left of the field, however, was a former Strictly Come Dancing pro …
I’m still so sure the grandfather clock will be Kevin Clifton #TheMaskedSinger #MaskedSingerUK

Who is Viking?
So we thought it was Si King, one of the Hairy Bikers, because he kept emphasizing the ‘KING’ Viking.
Kaiser Chiefs’ Ricky Wilson – and formerly The Voice – was a popular choice on social media.
But a few others suggested Morten Harket from the pop band A-ha – he’s Norwegian (tick!) And also performed there on The Voice (Viking gave a hint to find his voice).

Who is blob?
Lenny Henry is the popular pick on Twitter – mostly.
#TheMaskedSinger Blob must be Lenny Henry! Light brummy sound on the ‘Up’ …

A couple of other suggestions … Shaun Wallace of The Chase; Matt Lucas; Howard from the old Halifax ads!
