Who could Bigfoot on The Masked Singer be?
Bradley Walsh
Jonathan had initially wondered if Bigfoot was Sir David Attenborough, 97, because it was strongly hinted the singer was connected to nature.
However, he had a change of heart and stated he believed The Chase host Bradley Walsh was behind the mask.
Clues that the celebrity could be a comedian led the 63-year-old broadcaster to his conclusion.
Ray Mears
Without looking at any clues and just going by the costume, Bigfoot, aka a mythical creature that is claimed to inhabit forests in North America, it’s clear the celeb might be involved in nature.
This suspicion was only reinforced in the first VT, which saw Bigfoot declare his love of rivers, mountains, and plants and set up camp, complete with a tent and binoculars, in a wood.
Perhaps Charlie wasn’t far off the mark when he put forward Ray Mears, a woodsman who has fronted a range of survival TV shows, as the celebrity behind the costume.
Hugh Laurie
Hugh Laurie has had a long and distinguished career as an actor and comedian, first gaining recognition as one-half of Fry and Laurie with fellow legend Stephen Fry before going on to star in the megahit medical drama, House.
However, it was one of his small roles as ‘The Gentleman on the Phone’ in one episode of Friends that made Mo suspect he could be masquerading as Bigfoot.
In the first VT, Bigfoot revealed he had a ‘big cast of Friends’ leading the judges to believe he could be associated with the popular US sitcom.
Nick Mohammed
Davina had an inkling that Ted Lasso star Nick Mohammed is Bigfoot, pointing out the clues heavily imply the masked singer is a comedian and actor.
Plus Nick’s breakout role in the Apple TV sports drama saw his character, football manager Nate, more than once put his ‘big foot’ in it.
Do you think the 43-year-old could be unveiled as Bigfoot on The Masked Singer UK?
The Masked Singer continues on Saturday at 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
