Masked Singer viewers are convinced that they have figured out the famous face behind bear costume
As the tension ramps up towards The Masked Singer finale, fans are certain they've cracked the celeb identity behind the Bear costume.
Fans of the ITV hit show have been throwing out all sorts of names, but one eagle-eyed fan on Reddit reckons they've spotted four tell-tale hints pointing straight to Pointless presenter Richard Osman.
Squashing rumours of it being Example, the clever clogs pointed out: "I know most people are saying Example but I've linked all the clues and most of the clues match up to Richard Osman."
Diving deeper, this fan connected dots from Bear's Clue Package VTs and stage antics right back to Richard.

From name-dropping Cliff Richard (a nod to his own first name) to belting out Blur's 'Tender' in a clue-laden round, there seems to be a Britpop angle our superfan notes, "Richard Osman's brother in Suede Suede, which included Mat, singer Brett Anderson, and guitarist Justine Frischmann, was part of the Britpop 'big four' alongside Oasis, Blur, and Pulp."
On top of that, Bear's VTs hint at a love for Fulham FC, mirroring Richard's well-known fandom. Plus, they've linked him to his buddy and former co-presenter Alexander Armstrong.
The Reddit user speculated that hints pointing to a chicken could be connected to Alexander's stint on the show as Chicken Ceaser.

Richard initially made his mark in the media industry as a successful television producer, working on popular shows like Total Wipeout and 8 Out of 10 Cats.
He later decided to step into the limelight and became the co-host of the quiz show Pointless. After leaving that role in 2022, he shifted his focus to his own BBC Two programme, Richard Osman's House of Games.
Elsewhere some fans think Bear could also be unmasked as award winning rapper Example. Bear has also offered a variety of clues for reality show viewers and said: ''The stage is set, the audience awaits, and I am hungry for the competition.''
