The Masked Singer UK...2021

Lenny Henry has never been in Waterloo Road.

Stephen Mulhern is not Bush Baby, the voice just doesn't match.

He did play a teacher in Hope and Glory though.

Show was up to 5.25m last night, about a million up on it's Boxing Day debut and top show of the night.

The two shows were similar, I'd mixed up the two in my head as well this morning.

I think it’s a fake accent as it’s far too exaggerated. I agree with the clues that Bush Baby is Stephen Mulhern.

I also agree that Blob is Lenny Henry, and not just due to the voice. He did play a teacher in Hope and Glory, the word “waists” in the video is an anagram of Tiswas, and on the A-Z on the chalkboard, R = Red and N = Nose. Also, a site about him has a quote saying that he wanted to be Batman or a secret agent.

I think Grandfather Clock is Rio Ferdinand, albeit he never played for Spurs. No idea about Harlequin or Viking and didn’t guess Seahorse.

Sorry I meant it to be hope and glory as a teacher in it.

Episode 2, first episode of the new year! Let's go!!!

(again only just watched it now cause I was doing other things yesterday!)

Harlequin: What a start to the episode! - Had such a great voice, think it might be a journalist?

Blob: I didn't expect such a deep voice! The teacher clue and the voice is really throwing me off here.

Seahorse: For fun, I went for Holly Willoughby, but Holly does not have a Northern voice.



Viking: What a beautiful voice, I think everybody expected the stereotypical, viking accent.

Although I haven't watched these shows, could he be somebody from Game of Thrones/Vikings or similar shows? Is that too obvious?

Going down the whole, "King" route, I think it also might be somebody from The "King's" Speech?

Bush Baby: Absolutely love this character. Is it Joe Swash putting on an Aussie accent? (thought it was him before one of the judges mentioned it)

Grandfather's Clock: My guess is David Seamen, but my second guess is Glen Hoddle because of the Spurs reference.

Also watched the first two episodes of "The Masked Singer: Unmasked", I thought it was pretty good!

There's been a lot of criticism about the "behind the scenes" shows being on ITV Hub, but I thought this was quite good, even if I do miss the old line "switch over to ITV2 for a look behind the scenes and an interview with tonight's unmasked singer!"

Also worth noting at the end of his intro piece was a line about "making a good first impression" or similar. If I recall correctly (from a Bob Monkhouse documentary) Lenny's first TV appearance was on Opportunity Knocks doing an impression of Frank Spencer.

ATV's New Faces rather than Op Knocks.
But, good spot with the clue connection.

I haven't watched the show, but when it comes to Harlequin, may I suggest Ugo Moyne? He used to play for Harlequins!

Sausage defo an X Factor alumni - Stacey, Leona or Alexandra. Sure Sheridan Smith was too busy giving birth when this was filmed.

Robin - Danny Jones
Swan - Kimberley Wyatt
Badger - Brian Cox
Dragon - sticking with Sara Pascoe
