The Masked Singer Odds: Alan Carr, Marvin Humes And Marcella Detroit In The Mix

The Masked Singer axed another contestant last Saturday night as Yak, who was the Evens favourite on betting sites to be out next, went home. 

Yak was revealed to be former Sex Pistols star John Lydon, who admitted it was "back-breaking" performing in such a large outfit. 

This weekend, Red Panda, Moth, Gargoyle, Sloth and Can of Worms will return to the stage for a Spooktacular special.

Chatty Man's Short Stint 

Red Panda is the 4/6 favourite on betting apps to be unmasked next, but the character is yet to have a performance air on ITV. 

They sang Disco Inferno by The Trammps in the pre-recorded January 3 episode of The Masked Singer, but ITV cut the performance from being broadcast in the wake of the tragic Swiss bar fire over New Year.

Despite this, some eagle-eyed Masked Singer super-fans discovered the performance on catch-up, and the clues could relate to several stars. 

Among the hints were an address, 5 Rio Street, gold, dummies and a shopping list.

The Masked Singer Odds: Who Is Red Panda?

Alan Carr is the early 7/4 favourite to be Red Panda, largely down to the character sounding similar to a deep-voiced version of him, but Inbetweeners star James Buckley isn't far behind at 2/1. 

Buckley has also appeared in the BBC comedy White Gold, which could be a nod to the gold clue, and the dummies may refer to his Inbetweeners character, Jay, and his hapless pals. 

However, some have pointed towards an Olympian.

The Masked Singer Odds: Who Will Be Unmasked Next?

The 5 Rio Street could be a nod to US swimmer Michael Phelps (5/2), who won five gold medals at the 2016 Rio Olympics. 

Team GB star Adam Peaty (3/1) also won a gold at Rio 2016. 

Another star who is passionate about keeping fit has been linked to Sloth, who is 11/8 second favourite to be unmasked next. 

Joe Wicks, aka the Nation's PE Teacher - as he was nicknamed during the coronavirus lockdown - is the Evens favourite to be the character.

The Masked Singer Odds: Who Is Sloth?

Host Joel Dommett invited Sloth to do a press-up on stage, which the character did with ease, and Sloth also said: "I’m bringing fitness, fashion and fierceness to the competition. I know how to represent in the gym and on the world stage."

One of the clues saw Sloth in the jungle, which sparked guesses about previous I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! stars, including Sam Thompson (11/10).

Panellist Davina McCall believes Sloth could be Alexander Armstrong (2/1), who would be back for a second go after previously being Chicken Caesar in last year's edition.

Marv To Open Can Of Worms? 

Meanwhile, Marvin Humes is the 10/11 favourite to be Can of Worms. 

A couple of the character's clues appear to relate to the JLS singer and TV presenter, including a framed photo of James May and Richard Hammond, whose surname initials spell MH. 

Marvin's signature colour in JLS was green, and Can of Worms said: "As a worm, I have green fingers... it runs in the family like it was written in the stars."

Several pastries also featured, which could be a link to breakfast TV.

The Masked Singer Odds: Who Is Can Of Worms?

Marvin has previously presented This Morning on several occasions, but Ben Shephard, who presents the show Mondays to Thursdays, has also been linked. 

Ben (2/1) is in fact a guest panellist on Saturday night's show, but if he has to mysteriously depart the studio during Can of Worms' performances, then viewers may be on the money. 

Jeremy Clarkson (5/1) has been linked due to the May and Hammond photo, and the green connection - due to his passion for farming - as has his Clarkson's Farm co-star Kaleb Cooper (7/4). 

Elsewhere, several viewers have pointed towards Sugababes star Keisha Buchanan being Moth.

The character's voice sounded just like hers, and the clue package emphasised the number three.

Keisha is no stranger to a trio, after being a founding member of the girl group alongside Mutya Buena and Siobhán Donaghy.

After leaving the band, the trio reunited in 2012 under the name Mutya Keisha Siobhan before resuming their previous identity as Sugababes. 

Keisha is 1/2 to be Moth, but others in the frame include Jessie J (15/8) and Alexandra Burke (2/1). 

Marcella On Masked Singer? 

Gargoyle looks least likely to be unmasked next, at 3/1, and one of the character's clues was Coronation Street character Sally Metcalfe, which had several stumped. 

However, it could be singer Marcella Detroit, who co-wrote the 1977 Eric Clapton hit Lay Down Sally. 

The character also spoke about being pigeonholed, which could be a nod to Marcella's past career as a backing singer, before she made it big alongside Siobhan Fahey in Shakespears Sister.

Marcella is just 4/7 to be Gargoyle, followed by The Saturdays pair Frankie Bridge (2/1) and Mollie King (3/1).

 Others believe the Corrie photo could relate to a former soap star. 

Helen Flanagan and Brooke Vincent, who played Sally's daughters Rosie and Sophie Webster respectively, are 5/1 and 8/1 outsiders.
