Masked Singer fans convinced that huge 80s pop legend is behind Otter costume after ‘clues’

THE MASKED Singer viewers are convinced they've already worked out who Otter is after dropping major clues.

Fans of the hit ITV singing competition are adamant that 80s pop legend Kate Bush is behind the furry mask.

Otter impressed the panel of judges with their rendition of I'll Be There from Baywatch, with many fans convinced that they could recognise Kate's distinctive voice.

While other fans were quick to piece together the clues.

Otter revealed their first riddle: "Children, some say, should be seen and not heard, but of this Otter, I'd say, opposite is the word."

Fans thought this could be a reference to Kate's famously shying away from public life and keeping her personal life out of the spotlight.

Viewers think this would be the perfect opportunity for a comeback after her hit 1985 track Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God) was re-released last year and went to number one.

The lead single from her fifth studio album, Hounds of Love, received renewed attention when it was featured in the fourth season of the Netflix series Stranger Things.

Another clue mentioned the person has a lot of "resilience", which could again be a link to her hit track and someone who keeps "running up that hill".

While other fans believe the four leaf clover hints at Kate's Irish heritage.

One fan guessed: "Can't believe we live in a world where it's entirely possible Kate Bush is on The Masked Singer UK.

"I felt a fool suggesting it earlier but now I'm convinced that's her voice and diction.. Plus the last clue about liking to be heard and not seen... Catherine. Bush."

Another eagle-eyed viewer tweeted: "A shamrock... Kate Bush is half Irish.

"A vicar... A deal with God. She's known for her resilience... Like someone who keeps running up a hill?

"I can totally see her doing it after seeing how excited and grateful she was to be number one last year."

A third said: "Sounds SO much like Kate Bush."

But not all fans are convinced and have thrown several other names into the hat.

A number of fans thought actress Dawn French or Fiona Shaw was the woman wearing the wetsuit.

Others thought the singing star could be TV star and media personality Laura Whitmore or actress Pauline McLynn.

Some of the judges also agreed with the fan theories.

Mo guessed actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge, whilst Davina also suggested Fiona Shaw.

Rita Ora believed Otter was singer Una Healy, as she took part in the TV show Splash.

Johnathan focused on the shamrock shown and like fans guessed Irish star Pauline McLynn.
