The Masked Singer UK fans are convinced they've rumbled Dippy Egg's identity and it's 'not Simon Rimmer'.
The show returned earlier this month, with panellists Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Rita Ora and Mo Gilligan back again on Saturday night, where they were joined by guest Ellie Goulding as they tried to work out the identity of the characters. Confirmed for the latest lineup on Saturday night were Air Fryer, Owl, Eiffel Tower, Piranha, Maypole, Cricket, Bigfoot and Dippy Egg.
So far, Bubble Tea has been revealed as Julia Sawalha, Rat was revealed to be Strictly Come Dancing legend, Shirley Ballas, Chicken Caesar was unveiled as Alexander Armstrong and Weather was revealed as Dionne Warwick. On Saturday night, Dippy Egg took to the stage once again to perform.
Taking to Twitter, now X, viewers were quick to predict Dippy Egg could be former Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher. It comes as Sunday Brunch chef and presenter Simon Rimmer seemingly accidentally revealed themselves to be one of the contestants on The Masked Singer earlier this month. However, some fans felt that he may have been joking to try and throw people off the scent as to who is actually the Dippy Egg performer.

It comes as 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."
Talking about the costumes, Jonathan Ross said: "I love all of them. I really loved Weather. I thought that was a really beautiful, quite romantic, quite poetic-looking costume. I liked Piranha a lot. They're fun, I have to say. Bubble Tea is great. Well, Bubble Tea and Air Fryer make the show very, very modern, don't they? There's a couple of phrases that weren't in common conversation two or three years ago, and now we've got them dancing on primetime ITV1!"
