All eight remaining Masked Singer characters will perform this Saturday night for the first time in the series. 

But that won't include Marcella Detroit, who was 4/7 favourite on betting sites to be unmasked as Gargoyle.

That turned out to be the case last Saturday night, after she landed in the bottom two alongside Sloth. 

This weekend will see Little Mix star Perrie Edwards be a guest panellist - alongside regulars Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan, Maya Jama and Jonathan Ross - and there will be a double unmasking.

Moth The Sugababe 

Keisha Buchanan has been cut further to be Moth, from 1/2 to 4/11 on betting apps

Last Saturday's performance of Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo appeared to convince even more social media sleuths that the Sugababes star is behind the mask. 

However, Keisha's fellow Sugababes singer Siobhan Donaghy (3/1) is also in the mix.

Tartan was one of the character's clues, and one star who enjoys that style is PinkPantheress, who collaborated with the Sugababes on the song Nice to Know You.

However, there have also been some bee-related nods, and Nicola Roberts (2/1) won series one as Queen Bee. 

If Nicola is under the mask then she could land another Masked Singer victory, because Moth is 7/4 favourite to win this year's series, followed by 2/1 chance Can of Worms.

JLS singer Marvin Humes remains favourite to be Can of Worms, but he is out to Evens.

He faces stiff competition from his fellow bandmate JB Gill, who is in the frame at 11/10

Bad Education actor and musical star Layton Williams has also joined the party.

He's 6/4 to be Can of Worms after several clues appeared to be a nod to him, including a card that read: "If Found, Return to Jamie". 

This might be a reference to Layton starring in the Everybody’s Talking About Jamie musical. 

Another clue, Canadian Bird, could also relate to him, because he appeared in Titanique, which parodied movie Titanic using songs by Canadian singing icon Celine Dion.

Layton Williams

Anton's Ice Time 

Strictly Come Dancing judge Anton Du Beke has been cut to 1/3 to be Arctic Fox, after further clues appeared to relate to him. 

In the character's clue package, Arctic Fox was seen reading a book called Frost Bite Issue #42 - Life hacks for an ICE time.

Last year, Anton told how he nearly "froze to death" after he got stuck on a snowy mountain. 

A clapperboard featuring "Take 15" is also thought to refer to Anton reaching the Strictly final as a dancer in 2015, and a Dead Man's Hand cards clue could be a nod to his late, great mentor, Sir Bruce Forsyth, who previously hosted Play Your Cards Right.

Arctic Fox is 5/2 to win this year's Masked Singer, just in front of 3/1 shot Toastie. 

Mica Paris is the new 5/4 favourite to be Toastie, after a recent clue about Bolton.

This led some to speculate that it could be Paris after she collaborated with Michael Bolton, and several other stars, on 2009 charity track We Will Remember Them.

However, Brenda Edwards isn't too far behind at 11/8, followed by 6/4 chance Sophie Aldred. 

Like Toastie, viewers are also divided over Conkers. 

Barney Walsh, the son of TV presenter Bradley Walsh, is the new favourite to be the character. 

In Conkers' latest appearance, the character talked about throwing "down the gauntlet", and Gauntlet is the name of one of the games on Gladiators, which Barney co-hosts alongside Bradley.

Conkers has also spoken a lot about being a knight, and Barney portrayed a teenage King Arthur in the 2017 film King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.

Barney is the new 11/8 frontrunner to be Conkers, followed by fellow newcomer Sam Aston. 

The character was seen holding a book called Sam’s Tavern Songs for a Knightly Knees-Up, and the Coronation Street star is now 6/4 to be Conkers.

Sloth's Speedy Exit? 

Sloth is propping up the outright market, at 8/1 to win the competition. 

Sam Thompson has moved into 10/11 favourite, from 11/10, to be Sloth following the character's energetic performance last time out. 

One of Sloth's clues was "jungle juice", which some believe could be a reference to Sam winning I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2023. 

Joe Wicks is still in contention at 6/4, and exercise king Mr Motivator is a 5/1 outsider.

Ghosts stars Jim Howick (2/1), Mathew Baynton (3/1) and Kiell Smith-Bynoe (4/1) are also in the frame to be Conkers, but their co-star Simon Farnaby is the new 13/8 favourite to be Red Panda. 

Previous theories had suggested Celebrity Traitors winner Alan Carr - who Masked Singer guest judge Ben Shephard predicted - or Inbetweeners actor James Buckley could be Red Panda, but they have drifted to 2/1 and 3/1 respectively. 

Red Panda is 4/1 for Masked Singer victory this year, just in front of 6/1 chance Monkey Business.

There are some new contenders in the mix to be Monkey Business, following a Lewis Hamilton clue. 

Some have suggested Monkey Business is Atomic Kitten's Natasha Hamilton, who has the same surname as the F1 driver, or Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger - who once dated Lewis - could be under the mask. 

Natasha and Nicole are 6/4 and 13/8 respectively, and former odds-on favourite Kate Nash is now 15/8
