Masked Singer 2025 Thread 2. We are Wolfing down the clues and can't Bear the excitement

[Piggywaspushed]

Come and join us for wild speculation about David Tennant, Sheridan Smith and the occasional correct guesses.

No one is missing Rita Ora.

Bush = Nat Cassidy in least weeks clue package there was a judge's wig. Sonia is going to in front of a judge very soon.

And also the Memphis Sessions LP (I think MP and WWW have recorded everything at Memphis since that album)

He sang Copacabana last night? (I haven't watched it yet) After Let's Dance last week? Crikey, I night have to fast forward through that.

A huge WWW and Marti fan. You could tell by his walk on last week that it was him lol. He is currently all over Instagram singing from his spare room. Loved last week but last night not so much. His voice can be a bit reedy at times and there was a definite Scottish inflection at times. Let's hope next week is better!

Agree re suggestions re Bush and am really hoping that Kingfisher is Bob Mortimer

How about James Nesbitt as Bear?

His first job after college (as a cub) was in a play that ran first in Plymouth then transferred to the West End.
He has acted in Hamlet.
Horseshoe - he was the eponymous hero of Stan Lee's Lucky Man.

If it’s him, he’s doing an amazing job of disguising his voice, I think it’s very recognisable!

It could well be. I’ve guessed at Jay McGuiness as he wrote a book called Blood Flowers, where the main character is called Bear. And he’s also about to tour in &Juliet as William Shakespeare.

Other clues have been a Wanted poster, Cliff Richard (who had an album called Wanted), and something about not forgetting his Factor 50, which could point to the song ‘Chasing the Sun’. Oh, and he’s really tall.

The only thing making me doubt myself is the rap - although it definitely sounded like his real voice in the sing off. I’m waiting for a clue about Nottingham or 2:22 A Ghost Story to confirm my theory 😂

I love JM. He's really hot!

The Masked Singer is a ray of joy in January! I love reading all your theories and watching it with my 12yo and listening to all his 😂 It makes an awful month Bearable. Thank you all!

Jay is a very good guess. I'm sold on that.

My only comment on Natalie Cassidy is that you don't usually see people under contract with the BBC on ITV shows like this (and vice versa). I assumed it wasn't allowed under the terms of their contract.

Hence you never really see current EE cast doing IACGMOOH or Corrie/Emmerdale doing Strictly. They usually sign up as soon as they leave their soap. Adam Woodyatt for instance, did IAC during his two year break from EE.

@withlovefromlou - yes, your suggestion wins over mine. I remember Jay from Strictly; he IS tall, and stocky - as Bear seems to be. James N is a bit too slight.

Someone up-thread suggested Michael Sheen. I would love to see him in this!

My guess for Bear is Kiell Smith Bynoe, purely because he’s on everything these days!

He is! I met him back in August and he was lovely 🥰

I’m really hoping I’m right or the kids will never let me live it down 🤣

Not jealous at all 🤣

After last week we were convinced Bear was Patrick Stewart!
Must have been the wine.

Though Zoe Ball was on The Masked Dancer as Llama

I've just caught up. Oh that was awkward! I had to switch off before the end because I couldn't cope with the awkward and Jonathan desperately trying to hold the whole thing together. Reminded me that Jonathan does actually have some talent still! He usually phones in everything he does.

I really don't know who anyone is. For those saying Macy was forgetting she was only contracted for 2 weeks, don't they film this in a week or something? It's not actually spaced out, the studio costs would kill them. I've never understood the "it's fixed for her to go out in week 1 because of health/work/whatever" for this reason.

I think Wolf is Jason Donovan. The Egypt map is a reference to him being in Joseph, and the bishop - Harold Bishop?! Plus it sounds like him and he's also been in Priscilla and Rocky Horror on stage, so he's got lots of musical theatre experience.

I thought it was on tonight as well. Boo

Oh I see would love it if it was- I think he’s great. He can also rap as well (well, kind of)- he was in an ancient YouTube viral video called Junior Spesh, rapping about his favourite chicken shop.

My hesitation is I think Kingfisher is Simon Farnaby, and they wouldn't have 2 Ghosts. Or would they!!!????

Oh see I’m convinced Kingfisher is Bob Mortimer so hadn’t factored that in.

The first time bear sung I was convinced he was Tom Davies but now I’m not so sure, he seems to be changing accents every week. I also wondered what was up with Macy Grey as I watched it before I read about the strop. I thought she was stoned or in the midst of a breakdown and had zoned out.

I agree with others from last week's thread that Kingfisher is Harry Hill having re-watched. I thought the blue might be a reference to him being a doctor by training. He's been on The Wheel and there was a wheel as a clue...
