Masked Singer fans 'rumble' Bubble Tea's identity — and it's 'not Emily Atack'

The Masked Singer UK fans think they have rumbled Bubble Tea's identity after spotting a slew of 'clever clues' and it's 'not Emily Atack'.

The show returned last Saturday night, with panellists Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross and Mo Gilligan trying to work out the identity of six new characters, with guest Charlie Simpson, although original judge Rita Ora was back for this weekend. Confirmed for the latest lineup on Saturday night were Air Fryer, Bubble Tea, Owl, Eiffel Tower, Chicken Caesar and Piranha.

During the latest episode, Bubble Tea went up against Air Fryer, before dropping a collection of clues. Bubble Tea revealed that they were a bubbly person, as well as dropping a clue about The Inbetweeners, a village and a lamb.

Taking to Twitter, now X, viewers were convinced Bubble Tea is Emily Atack. Fans will recall that Emily, 34, soared to fame on The Inbetweeners as Charlotte Hinchcliffe and suffered an unfortunate This Morning lamb blunder back in 2019.

However, other fans were quick to point out Emily was too obvious and instead speculated it could be Emily Head, who starred as Carli D'Amato on The Inbetweeners. Emily, 35, also starred as Rebecca White on Emmerdale from 2016 to 2018, linking the lamb and village clues.

One person said: "People think #BubbleTea is Emily Atack, but I think it might be @emily_head.... she was in the In Betweeners, she was also in Emmerdale and I'm pretty sure Rebecca (her character in EDale) was an influencer.... #MaskedSingerUK" while a different account put: "Bubble Tea change I think Emily Head (Carly from Inbetweeners) #MaskedSingerUK."

Elsewhere, another viewer speculated: "Bubble Tea, Emily Head #MaskedSingerUK", a different account put: "Bubble Tea, Emily Head? #MaskedSingerUK", another fan wrote: "Bubble Tea: I think Emily Atack based on clues may be too obvious, it said Emily on there and I don't think it'd be so obvious" while another added: "Emily Head?? #MaskedSingerUK."

Also taking part are Cricket, Weather, Marypole, Bigfoot, Dippy Egg and Rat, who featured on the first episode of the series, where Weather was revealed as Dionne Warwick. Music icon Dionne left the panel starstruck as she unveiled herself as the star under the costume. She then shared her joy at being asked to do the series but admitted the struggles she faced trying to disguise her voice on the show.
