Fawn Clues

Week two

When asked whether they wanted a tea or coffee, Fawn said: "No milk, five sugars", prompting Jonathan to suggest that the person behind the mask was "very sweet".

Fawn then added: "You might think that a fawn is a young deer but I'm certainly not the baby," leading Rita to think the person could be "in [their] forties". Continuing, Fawn said: "Although, like a fawn, I admit that when I was younger I was somewhat awkward. Call me a boffin but Maths was a passion. Now that I'm all grown-up, I'm not awkward at all."

Fawn's riddle was: "I live in a cottage and not in a palace, I've visited Wonderland but my name isn't Alice."

Week four

Fawn gave some confusing clues in week four. They hinted they had won a platinum award in something, had won many trophies and showed a bowling pin, jam and marmalade in their VT.

Week five

The clue package opened with Fawn saying that "life is a journey" and deciding to walk down either the "short" road or "long road". She ultimately decided to walk down a path that said "even longer road".

Fawn then said that their disguise wasn't the first that they'd worn. Fawn then said that she was in the "background" in her early career, prompting Mo Gilligan to suggest that she was a backup dancer.

Judges' Guesses

Jonathan thought that Fawn was ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng, saying that he was "like a deer in the headlights". The suggestion was panned by his fellow judges. Meanwhile, Rita congratulated Fawn on their performance and suggested it could be actress Hannah Waddingham.

Mo speculated that Kim Woodburn could be behind the mask, noticing that the character used the words, "my dear", a lot. And Davina thought Fawn was Mel C, picking up on the character's "versatile voice".

In week four, Rita guessed Australian singer-songwriter Delta Goodrem, linking a clue about "topsy turvy" land to Australia. Also sticking with the Australian theme Mo said Dannii Minogue and Davina said Jacqueline Jossa as she won I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! in Australia and missed the National Television Awards to go bowling with her family, linking to the bowling pin clue.

Jonathan guessed Anne Marie and linked "topsy turvy" land to Japan and said that Anne Marie has won competitions in karate.

In week five, Mo began by guessing that Fawn was LeAnn Rimes, Jonathan then said Kelle Bryan from Eternal, Rita Ora suggested Paula Radcliffe and Davina thought that it was Lindsay Lohan.

In week six the judges guessed Cat Deely, Liz McLaren, Bella Thorne, Kym Marsh, and Shania Twain.

Mo in week seven stuck with Shania, while Davina plumped for Jenny McCarthy. Peter Crouch thought Myleene Klass while Rita went with Suzanna Shaw.

Jonathan picked Billie Piper.

Fan Theories

Over on social media, viewers thought that Fawn was either Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton or Carol Vorderman. Elsewhere, one person wrote: "I reckon Jacket Potato is Matt Lucas and Fawn is Faye Tozier from Steps." A second thought: "@MaskedSingerUK is fawn not holly from this morning?"

Week four has prompted some fans to think Ruthie Henshall, others to say Jessie J and some agreed with Mo about Dannii Minogue.

Week five saw viewers suggest that Fawn was Natalie Appleton, Liz Hurley and EastEnders star Emma Barton.

In week six viewers were convinced Fawn was either Natalie or Nicole Appleton from All Saints. Especially thanks to one clue, which you can read more on here.

For what it's worth, we reckon it's Kym Marsh.
