The Masked Singer: Will we ever get to the point of identifying Hedgehog? Thread 3

[AngelOfDeathNix]

Continuing from thread two - Will Tree Shed His Leaves?

It also had Cats which MB was never in.
There was references this week to different venues . Jason Manfords musical theatre album is called different stages.

And with comedy and is stage shows Jason is always travelling with his shows like at the moment curtains is touring

Cats I think is for 8 out of 10 cats which he used to be on

Phantom it's weak but this is what I get when you google manford and phantom

hairspray I have nothing for I can't find a link at the moment I'm thinking it was just a generic west end musical type clue. But he does host the Olivier awards so I guess that could cover loads of shows.

You run into more problems trying to fit Michael Ball or at least i did

Can't find links to Cats, Billy Connolly and others.

JM has been in Cutting It which was about a couple who ran a hairdresser's and he's in Scarborough in which his girlfriend is a hairdresser.

I think Octopus sounds like Lesley Garrett.. Don't know any of the clues but I think Hedgehog could be Michael Ball...

I think Alexander Armstrong's still body language matches Hedgehog's. Voice too.
Octopus is Lesley Garrett.
Queen Bee is Nicola Roberts.

I think the body language and the walk screams Jason Manford

Me too Chipstick

Me 3 😂

Me 4 probably but I still want to know what all the Bow and Ball clues are about....

The string to the bow clue I think is just to say he can do lots of things...double bonus it makes people think of Alfie Bow. The ball clues I think can only be designed to throw us off. I know they have sung together but I don't think that warrants all the ball clues.

Hmmm.... yes. But no other clues for any revealed singer have been red herrings. It's bugging me. A Lot.

True but the further we go in the less clues there are explaining...i may have missed it but did they ever cover monsters love of books?

No.

But if it's not Michael Ball, they had better explain the cricket ball with Michael written on it!!

Was that when he had the photo of Billy Connolly and was talking about people he admires and looks up to? I think that will be the he sang with Micheal ball clue, and probably looks up to him as as singer/performer.

It's all the times he has said having a ball ect that I think won't be explained and was probably just to confuse us.

Yeah, maybe!

Jm toured with Alfie Boe and was in Sweeney Todd with Michael Ball he also was on their Christmas special.

I’ve got most correct so far.

Final guesses for me are :-
Queen bee - nicola Roberts
Octopus - Katherine Jenkins.
Hedgehog - Jason manford (kept swithering between him and rhydian but have now settled on JM)

Queen bee is definitely Nicola Roberts. She helped create a law about under 18s using tanning beds; she is very shy; she won a singing reality tv show; there is a girls aloud song called don't speak French and she has red hair (girl on fire song).

Listened to two Youtube clips - Hedgehog - "I'd do anything for love," and Alfie Bow with Gary Barlow singing, "Don't Stop Me Now."

Now totally convinced the it is he!

I think there are occasions when the show is trying to be 'tricksy' and introduces red herrings. From Queen Bee, we've heard 'These wings are made to fly' -> Little Mix and 'I don't speak French' -> Girls Aloud.

On balance, the clues seem to be more suggestive of Nicola Roberts but I do think that the programme makers are aware of who the 'near misses' are likely to be and make use of this!

I can see that but Nicola Roberts has also written for little mix so it's a genuine clue to 🤷🏻‍♀️

What are everyone's thoughts on this?

Bluff or confirmation?

Double bluff, he is on BBC as well on Saturday night

It's the last episode of First and Last as well. It's his quiz show on BBC

Jason Manford taught the cricketer Michael Vaughan stand up for comic relief, I may have to change back to Jason Manford!
