Masked Singer 2025: Starts Saturday 4th Jan

[WhoseThatBehindTheFlask]

I'm not saying I'm keen but I could see a thread for this year so thought I'd get one started.

Anyone watch the Xmas special? I found it too hard to guess who was under the mask just based on one or two songs...

Helen Mirren maybe

Prue is South African.

Prue Leith based on voice alone for Pegasus!

Doubt it helps her 😬

I thought Prue Leith as well! Cordon Bleu, not moving very much, voice sounded like her…

Prue

Oh, Prue is shout .

Sheila Hancock? She did Sister Act

Ouch - Davina guessing Lady Cora from Downton. She actually sings, though she's not my cup of tea.

Pegasus was diabolical!

I thought Tom Daley from the beach scene clues.

Unmistakably pru leith talking

Jane Seymour? Mike Tyson? O dear lor. It's not a singer, I'm going anne reid.

It was certainly a beautiful day when they stopped singing

It does sound like prue but is that deliberate?

Yeah I think it’s Prue Leith

I can really hear Prue speaking now

Definitely an older lady, and one who doesn't know much popular music hence the choice of Oh What A Beautiful Morning.

Prue Leith or Mary Berry is a good possibility, or an older actress. Maggie Smith before she died?

I’m going for prue too
could wolf be Bryan Adams?

About that last clue - there was something about 'command a stage' that got me thinking about who might be on the other side of being 60 and who also has been in the Honours List - so a CBE??

It's grasping at straws here but it was something that I picked up on

I'm going Dame Judi Dench. She has vision loss and was holding onto Joel/not moving around much, and when she walked she did look like she could not see. Don't suppose the costume helps! But she was in Philomena as a nun, and is getting on now...

Prue Leith is 84, would she really be doing it ?

If it’s Bryan Adams he is definitely disguising his voice

Coming in late on this and DH has rather brilliantly suggested Bill Nighy for Wolf, which would make me so happy and seems kind of plausible. I can definitely see him turning down any costume in which he's not snappily dressed.

She's younger than Judi Dench and Sheila Hancock who were some of the other guesses. She presents Bake Off and seems like someone in her 70s rather than 80s imho.
