ITV The Masked Singer fans convinced they know identity of Pigeon

Fans of ITV's The Masked Singer are convinced they know the identity of Pigeon. It was the second contestant on Saturday night that had many fans of the show all guessing the same name after the performance and clues. Earlier, many viewers were in agreement over Jacket Potato's identity too.

Judges Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan and Rita Ora have their work cut out as they figure out who the celebrities are on this year’s The Masked Singer. The ITV series has returned and the second episode aired on Saturday, January 7. It sees celebrities disguise their identities behind a mask as they sing in front of judges and a studio audience. During this week’s episode, Pigeon took on Rhino and fans were quick to share who they thought was behind the mask.

Pigeon sang 'No Scrubs' by TLC and clues saw them walking around London and speaking with an Essex-style accent - something Rita Ora was not convinced by. She said she was "an old bird but aging has never bothered me and even though I may have ruffled a few feathers in my time, personally I'm unflappable so I'm good at being able to ask the tougher questions".

Pigeon was also seen with carrots in their handbag and their riddle was: "I'm an old pigeon mama and I've such a warm heart. Let me share some of my wisdom, life imitates art."

"Could it be the Queen Consort Camilla Parker-Bowles?" suggested Jonathan Ross, while Rita Ora was convinced that Pigeon is a much younger person than the clues made out. She said that she thought it could be new Love Island presenter Maya Jama.

Mo Gilligan speculated that Pigeon could be The Only Way is Essex's Gemma Collins, as the character sounds like her. And Davina McCall said that Pigeon is a comedian, namely Emily Atack from The Inbetweeners. And many viewers agreed. One person simply wrote: "Pigeon is @EmAtack." And a second echoed this, writing: "Pigeon is either Emily Atack or her mum Kate Robbins."

The Masked Singer continues next Saturday on ITV1 and ITVX. For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
