Masked Singer viewers convinced Maypole is show's biggest star yet after clue
The Masked Singer fans are convinced they know Maypole's real identity.
It comes after viewers of the hit ITV singing competition noticed a "huge clue" about who the star could be. If it is who they think, it would mean Maypole would be the show's biggest ever star. Huge celebrities have already appeared on the programme including Gladys Knight, Mel B and CeeLo Green.
The hit show returned last week with Joel Dommett at the helm as the panel made up of Jonathan Ross, comedian Mo Gilligan, Davina McCall and singer Rita Ora did their best to reveal the identity of the celebrity underneath their elaborate costume. Maypole made her appearance on the episode, where she made a hint about who she is.
She told viewers: "The audience are watching so I'll give it the sell, it's something I learnt since the year of Orwell." The judges were left trying to think of any stars who had a major event in 1984, the title of George Orwell's novel. Some viewers took it as a huge clue to the year the celebrity was born.
Maypole performed a track by Pink! on Saturday night (ITV)They predict it is pop superstar Katy Perry under the mask. The American star has nine songs that have made it to the top of the charts, which could be considered best "sellers". Taking to social media, one person said: "Katy Perry, born 1984." Another added: "Katy Perry 100 per cent," while someone else guessed: "Katy Perry xx"

However a fourth commented: "I don’t think so, all of the other possibilities are born after 1984, so it can’t be them, myself I’ve not heard of her recently so she could have been doing this." Maypole performed Never Gonna Not Dance Again by P!nk and afterwards the panel tried their best to guess who it could be.
Clues included possible links to Eurovision, a possibly fake American accent and wanting to break free. Judge Mo even joked it could be co-star Rita Ora after she was missing from the episode. Taking to X, one viewer said: "Maypole sounds like Rita Ora!!" as a second said: "Lol if Maypole is Rita Ora." A third fan added: "Maypole is Rita lol," as another asked: "Is Rita Ora doing a Nick Cannon and taking part as Maypole like he did in the US version?"
Maypole is up against Cricket, Weather, Bigfoot, Egg, Rat, Air Fryer, Bubble Tea, Owl, Piranha, Eiffel Tower and Chicken Caesar. Host Joel Dommett couldn’t wait for the show to start and previously said: "Honestly, they are the best costumes ever. If they don’t make you smile, well, get out! Air Fryer is unbelievably silly. It's so liberating to be a part of a show where first of all, people really enjoy it and also from my point of view, any idea I have, it's fair game. Even when it comes to the suits!
"I think we've definitely got some of the best vocalists we've ever had on the show and we've had some really incredible ones in the past. The show goes through an interesting meandering of, we are all here for all the new characters, but then maybe the better singers start to get through in the last rounds, usually the final. Let's be honest, it’s usually really incredible singers left at that point. This year I really do feel like we've got some of the best we've ever had."
