The Masked Singer is back, and the guessing game is more intense than ever! Tonight, the second round of performances kicks off, and everyone's buzzing about who's hiding inside the Conkers costume. It's a fun mystery, but fans are convinced they've cracked the code.
Panelists Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan, Jonathan Ross, and Maya Jama are back to decipher the clues alongside host Joel Dommett. This week, we'll see performances from Moth, Can of Worms, Red Panda, Conkers, Arctic Fox, Toastie, Sloth, and Gargoyle.
But here's where it gets interesting: the clues for Conkers have fans pointing their fingers at one particular pop star. Let's dive into the evidence!
The Clues:
- The song "Castle on the Hill" by Ed Sheeran playing with footage of a castle.
- Mention of being "up for any challenge" but also having a tendency to "hide in a shell."
- A reference to Sir Lancelot.
- The phrase, "ghosts don't scare me."
The Suspect: Olly Murs
Fans believe these clues strongly suggest Olly Murs is the celebrity behind the mask. The "Castle on the Hill" clue could reference Olly's performances at various castles, including Lincoln Castle in June 2025 as part of his "15 Years of Hits" tour. His appearance on The X Factor shows he's up for a challenge. And the reference to ghosts could hint at his song, "Go Ghost."
One viewer on X pointed out, "I’m saying Conkers is Olly Murs disguising his singing voice! Lego heart + “hit my Mark” - he presents a Heart radio show with Mark Wright. “Ghosts don’t scare me” - he has a song called Go Ghost." Others quickly agreed, with comments like, "Ain’t that Olly Murs," and "Sure sounds like Olly trying to disguise his voice."
