The Masked Singer : Will Tree shed his leaves for us tonight? Are we barking up the wrong tree?

Emergency new thread!

Could Manford do a posh accent like that ? He’s very Northern

I reckon he probably could. I am sure at least two of them are disguising accents. I still feel, instinctively, that it isn't Manford , but can see a lot of the clues stack up.

I don’t think it’s Manford.

I'm sure I have heard manford be posh before and it's quite similar to hedgehogs...in that you know it's fake IYSWIM. But I can't find any proof.

The only think that puts me off manford for hedgehog is he has full on denied it twice and I'm not sure he would do that if it was him he still fits all the clues best though.

I don’t know why but I get the impression that hedgehog is older than Manford

RE Melinda Messenger and working in dangerous locations... wasn't she the host of that island game show where there were loads of tigers and snakes?

Yes Fort Boyard, I didn't add it on the list because I don't remember the actual tasks, just her running around looking incredible!

Michael Ball sings with quite a bit of vibrato these days - I don't think he is Hedgehog. And yes I have heard AA sing or wouldn't think it could be him!

By the way, Kerry Ellis does charity work for the Born Free Foundation and sings Diamonds are Forever on an album.

Apologies, I just thought you might have read he was a baritone bass. I don't think it's either of them to be honest!

I don't think Kerry Ellis is a 'household name'. But that doesn't preclude her. Is she not a much better singer than Octopus?

I'm convinced it's her. Octopus has a very stagey voice. She and Queen Bee are the best singers. I'm not sure Queen Bee is Nicola Roberts tbh - sounds more like Una Healy to me. DP has just said he thinks she is Leona Lewis.

I've been watching a YouTube compilation of all the songs in order (sad, but true). I've just seen Monster sing Don't Cha and heard something of Gary Barlow briefly ! Everyone is convinced it's Cee Lo Green.

Gary isn't a granddad, though...

Queen Bee is Nicola Roberts.

She got famous very young.
She helped pass a law.
She was banging a drum in her VT.

Can't remember the rest of the clues.

I've not been following the clues closely.

Can anyone say if the clues for The Fox would fit Anita Dobson?

Bee is Nicola- 100%.

Not just the clues but it’s her voice completely - talking and singing.

Some of the clues are doing my head in though, I think they’re adding some to make them seem like big names to get the viewers in but they’re really loosely linked to the ‘celeb’

Updated link to all the clues so far

all the clues

I don't think it includes the visual clues in the vts but it's a start for those that want to check their guesses.

I've not RTFT but was listening to 'Royal' by Lorde and she sings "I could be queen bee"
🤔

Can anyone say if the clues for The Fox would fit Anita Dobson?

It’s Denise van Outen. 100%

Dobson talks posh. DVO and Fox have a Londonish accent.

Dobson talks posh
She was in Eastenders as Angie and didn't sound posh then!

But I'm leaning towards DvO now.

I am convinced that the Hedgehog is Jimmy Carr but the clues don’t stack up.

You don’t think “tenor”means “tenner” and his IRS issues, do you?

Haha no!

I do think this is the type of programme Jimmy would mock and sneer at : I doubt he'd be game, actually!

I can't actually remember the tenner/tenor pun now...

Wasn't it something like

Look at this photo frame it cost me a tenner/tenor or something similar?

Oh , yes that was it. Then we saw Billy Connolly.

Any one wanting to swat up before tomorrow the masked singe on you tube has put together all the clues and vt

here

It's right down the bottom of the page

We've just been watching a Top of the Pops from 1989 with Michael Ball on, DD is convinced he is hedgehog now.

Double elimination tomorrow night, so we'll find out if we are right or how wrong, in my case the guesses are.
