The Masked Singer viewers work out who Cat and Mouse are

The Masked Singer fans think they've worked out who is hiding under the Cat and Mouse costumes.

The singing competition returned last night to rave reviews from fans as 12 new stars took to the stage. This year's celebrities have been hidden under more extravagant costumes than ever which include a phoenix, a jacket potato, and the show's first-ever duo, a cat and mouse.

Football pundit Chris Kamara was the first star to be revealed but viewers already think they have another pair figured out. After following some context clues throughout the programme, fans have declared Cat and Mouse to be two musical icons.

Pepsi and Shirlie singer Shirlie Kemp and EastEnders star Martin Kemp are believed to be the two most likely to be hiding under the costumes. The couple enjoyed lengthy careers as singers and even duetted with each other back in 2019.

They sang Anything You Can Do, while their clue VT also revealed a load of spices - before their final riddle which said: "I’m on the case, I’m not afraid, you stole the cheese, and some Jade."

Some of the clues, fans suggested, could be linked to being a talent show judge, which Martin has been on Rock Till We Drop, while others appeared to link one of them to the Spice Girls. Shirlie actually appeared in a Spice Girls music video for their song Mama, while Martin was a judge on BBC's Let It Shine.

Sharing their hypothesis online, one viewer said: "So intriguing to have a duo! I’m guessing Martin & Shirlie Kemp for Cat & Mouse. Martin has been a judge on talent shows (legal clues) and Shirlie was in the Spice Girls video for Mama."

Another added: "Cat & Mouse are Martin & Shirlie Kemp innit." Whilst a third fan said: "Martin and Shirlie Kemp maybe?" A final added: "Throwing my hat in early on this @realmartinkemp @Shirliekemp," while a fifth said: "Cat and Mouse is the Kemps - Shirlie and Martin."
