Masked Singer's Otter 'exposed' as fans 'work out' BAFTA winner is mystery star

The Masked Singer UK fans think they finally know who Otter is on the ITV series.

BAFTA TV Award winner and actress Daisy May Cooper is tipped to be unmasked as Otter at some point, as viewers are convinced it's her.

The latest clues included a number of references to "being real" and something about her "not being real".

A BAFTA award was also shown in the clue video, along with a scarecrow and waterslides - while she performed the song 9 to 5.

This combined with the vocals and recent clues left several viewers claiming Daisy is the mystery star under the costume.

Taking to Twitter, viewers shared their thoughts with one writing: "Daisy May Copper as Otter, I think the not really real could be about This Country because people may think it is a reality show but it is a mockumentary."

Another fan said: "people think it’s real, this country is a mockumentary. there was a scarecrow, that’s the title of the first episode of this country. she’s won baftas it’s my queen Daisy May Cooper."

A third viewer tweeted: "Otter is 100% Daisy May Cooper!!" while a fourth said: "I can hear Daisy May Cooper speaking voice."

It follows last week's show, that saw the panel reeling over the true identity of Rubbish, as snooker player Stephen Hendry was unmasked as the character.

Asked why he did the show, he confessed he loved watching it and he chose his own costume - saying he went for Rubbish because he knew he wouldn't be much of a dancer.

On taking part Stephen said: "I thought it was so obvious because it was me. I love the show and its way out of my comfort zone so I thought why not let's give it a go."

Cat and Mouse was the previous contestants to be found out. The duo were unmasked as celebrity couple and singers Martin and Shirlie Kemp, and none of the panel correctly guessed the result.

Martin confessed he was more nervous being under the mask, as he confessed: "I was more nervous. I could literally hear my heart in my ears," whilst Shirlie said it was harder to sing in the mask than out of one.

"It is just so off the wall. It’s so much harder to sing in the mask than you imagine it will be," she added.

The week before this, music legend Lulu was revealed to be Piece of Cake in a huge surprise, that the panel once again did not see coming.

On doing the show, Lulu revealed: "My grandchildren love this show, they love it! I love it too and that’s why I’m here. Because it’s such a fun show."

The first contestant on the series to be eliminated was Ghost, who turned out to be former footballer and presenter Chris Kamara.

Asked why he did the show, Chris said: "I did it for the grandkids. I want to see the surprise on their faces when they see me unmasked on the show. Not even my wife knows so it’s going to be a surprise for the whole family.

"I’m not the best at keeping secrets so I’m not sure what will shock them most, taking part in the show or keeping it a secret."

Chris said he found it particularly difficult wearing the costume - as it was quite "restrictive".

The Masked Singer airs Saturdays at 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
