Fans Pinpoint ‘Can of Worms’ Identity on ‘The Masked Singer’ Following ‘Hidden Clue’

LONDON (Azat TV) – Viewers of ITV’s popular singing competition, The Masked Singer UK, are reportedly convinced they have unmasked the celebrity behind the ‘Can of Worms’ costume. Following a recent performance, a ‘hidden clue’ on the show has led many fans to believe that JLS icon Marvin Humes is the star inside the elaborate outfit, sparking widespread discussion across social media platforms.

The speculation intensified after the latest Saturday night’s episode, where Can of Worms returned to the stage alongside other contestants such as Conkers, Moth, Red Panda, Sloth, and Toastie. While the panel of judges—Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan, Jonathan Ross, and Maya Jama—reportedly missed the crucial hint, eagle-eyed viewers at home quickly picked up on what they believe to be definitive evidence pointing to the boyband star, as reported by ChronicleLive.

‘Can of Worms’ Identity Fuels Fan Speculation

The ‘hidden clue’ that has captivated fans has not been explicitly detailed, but its impact has been clear: a significant portion of the audience is now firmly convinced of Marvin Humes’s involvement. Humes, best known as a member of the successful British boyband JLS, has a distinctive public persona that fans are now aligning with subtle hints from the show.

The Masked Singer UK, now in its sixth year, is renowned for its elaborate costumes and the challenge it poses to celebrities, who must perform energetically while keeping their identities secret. Costume designer Tim Simpson, creative director at Plunge Creations, has previously noted that performers are increasingly aware of the physical demands of participating in the show, often arriving ‘quite into it’ and ready for the challenge.

High Stakes for ‘The Masked Singer’ Contestants

The competition remains fierce, with other contestants also drawing significant attention and speculation. In the same round of performances, Sloth and Toastie were identified by bookmakers as the favorites for a potential double elimination, according to The Mirror. Sloth, known for its unexpectedly energetic performances, even raised concerns among the ITV production team regarding the safety of its costume due to the performer’s vigorous movements, as revealed by Tim Simpson to Metro.co.uk. Sloth’s clues have referenced a passion for fitness, a potential DJ background, and a connection to Manchester, leading to guesses like Joe Wicks, Sam Thompson, and Chris Moyles.

Toastie has also been a subject of intense fan debate, with many viewers on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) suggesting Brenda Edwards or Alison Hammond could be behind the mask. Judges’ guesses for Sloth have included names such as TV chef Jamie Oliver, Good Morning Britain’s Ed Balls, and explorer Ben Fogle.

Recent Unmaskings and Show’s Appeal

The show has seen several high-profile reveals in previous weeks, further fueling the excitement. Last week’s double elimination left audiences surprised when legendary singer Kate Nash was unmasked as Monkey Business, and Strictly Come Dancing judge Anton Du Beke was revealed as Arctic Fox. Earlier in the series, punk rock icon John Lydon and rapper Professor Green were also unmasked, showcasing the diverse range of celebrities willing to take on the unique challenge.

The ongoing mystery and the dramatic unmaskings are central to The Masked Singer UK‘s enduring appeal, drawing millions of viewers each week who engage in their own detective work to decipher the clues. The show continues to be a major ratings success for ITV, demonstrating the public’s fascination with celebrity identity and musical performance.

The intense fan speculation surrounding ‘Can of Worms’ and other characters highlights the interactive nature of ‘The Masked Singer UK,’ where audience engagement with ‘hidden clues’ often outpaces the official judging panel, becoming a key driver of the show’s cultural impact and social media buzz.
