Masked Singer fans 'work out' Bear's identity - and they're linked to Ed Sheeran
The Masked Singer fans are convinced they've worked out who is behind Bear's mask after weeks of non-stop guessing - and they think it's a huge pop star with a link to Ed Sheeran
The Masked Singer enthusiasts are abuzz with theories, convinced they've cracked the case of Bear's secret identity after a barrage of clues. With big names like Kate Garraway, Prue Leith and Mel Giedroyc already revealed from behind the eccentric disguises, fans are eager to see who'll be unmasked next.
Last week saw Bear in a nail-biting sing-off with Teeth but, despite the tension, they held their own among the six other costumed contenders. The lineup on Saturday included performances from the mysterious Wolf, Dressed Crab, Kingfisher, Pufferfish, Snail, and Bush.

As the series progresses, viewers believe they've finally pieced together who Bear could be. In this week's performance, Bear belted out a tune and dropped fresh hints, even suggesting aspirations sky-high and jotting down dances, leading some to surmise a Strictly connection.
Social media is abuzz with speculations, with one viewer posting: "Bear is definitely Example," alongside a snap of the artist, further backed by Mo and Maya Jama picking up on the "EG" initials and a cheeky nod to his Nando's track with Ed Sheeran.

Earlier this week, though, it was an EastEnders star in the firing line. Previously, fans believed Bear might be a stage performer with a Shakespearean twist. "Will it be comedy? Funny you should ask! Tragedy? Well, I've done more than just watch the Scottish play," Bear teased in one of the clues, reports the Mirror.
Plus, Bear's grand entrance in period garb, striking a dramatic pose, only added fuel to the fire. But this week, a slip-up by former EastEnders actor Richard Blackwood during a live ITV chat has fans buzzing with speculation.
When quizzed about whether he's the face behind The Masked Singer, Richard stumbled, saying, "I could... because you made me feel so good and stuff," before backtracking with, "No, I can't, I can't. But the moves and the way I... I mean, that's how I would do it."
This tantalising tease left fans all but certain Richard is Bear until tonight, but they'll have to wait for the big reveal to know for sure....
