Fans of hit ITV series The Masked Singer reckon they've sussed out who is behind the Pufferfish costume, claiming it is the daughter of 90s music legend Neneh Cherry.
Pufferfish is one of the seven remaining contestants, after five have already been unmasked. The new participant joined the latest series of the reality show, alongside Bush, Dressed Crab, Bear, Kingfisher, Pegasus, Snail, Spag Bol, Tattoo, Teeth, Toad In The Hole and Wolf.
While Joel Dommett hosts, the panellists trying to guess the stars' identities are Davina McCall, Maya Jama, Mo Gilligan and Jonathan Ross. In this series so far, singer-songwriter Macy Gray was revealed to be Toad In The Hole, Prue Leith was the singer behind Pegasus and GMB star Kate Garraway was revealed as Spag Bol.
Carol Decker was discovered to be the celeb behind Tattoo last week, while Saturday night's episode saw Mel Giedroyc unveiled as Teeth. With various names circulating among viewers eager to find out who Pufferfish is, one fan has given an eight-clue list as to why they believe Mabel is hiding behind the alter ego.

Writing on a Masked Singer forum, they gave their reasoning behind landing at the 28-year-old singer. They wrote: "Mabel? Voice may fit."
They went on to point out that Mabel worked on Good Luck, Babe! by Chappell Roan, a song Pufferfish performed, as well as the fact the participant said "good luck" on the show.
"She's written for Four of Diamonds, hence, sparkling clue," the fan surmised. "Has a BRIT award and performed at the BRITs. Very musical family, her mum is Neneh Cherry. Worked with 2 acts with 5 then 6 letters in their names like Harry Styles and Clean Bandit."
The fan went on: "There seem to be Mabel pumps from Sarah Jessica Parker," referring to the fact that the actress's initials were written on a sign. They added: "There seems to be a game called Reverse Falls with a character called Mabel Gleeful." The fan admitted: "Some of that may be a stretch!"
Mabel, whose mum Neneh was in post-punk band The Slits, has music in her blood - her dad is Cameron McVey, a producer who has worked with the likes of Sugababes and All Saints. Meanwhile, Mabel's maternal uncle is Eagle Eye Cherry, the artist behind 90s hit Save Tonight, which featured on the hit Ashton Kutcher romcom A Lot Like Love.
Other names in the running with fans include EastEnders girls Shona McGarty, who played Whitney Dean, Jacqueline Jossa, who plays Lauren Branning and West End star Samantha Barks, who also appeared on the soap. Away from the small screen, others have thrown in the likes of Girls Aloud star Nadine Coyle.
The Derry native would be following in the footsteps of bandmate Nicola Roberts, who won the first series of the Masked Singer in 2020, where she was unmasked as Queen Bee. One of the other Girls Aloud members, Kimberley Walsh also appeared as Odd Socks on the show's spin-off The Masked Dancer in 2022.
