The Masked Singer returned for its sixth series on Saturday night – with fans instantly believing they had spotted the identity of one of the stars just seconds into the show. The hit ITV guessing game started with a group song as this year’s celebrities were introduced in their wacky costumes.
As they sang the Spice Girls hit song Who Do You Think You Are, fans were convinced one had already given the game away with their unique voice. They took to X to say they had already worked out the identity of Kingfisher from the one line they had sung.
Viewers are certain that comedy legend Harry Hill, known for his TV Burp show and slapstick comedy, is behind the mask. One wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “I hear Harry Hill,” as another agreed: “From that one opening line, the weird bird is Harry Hill?”
