Air Fryer previously put on a performance of Kings & Queens by Ava Max on The Masked Singer and, with the second track in full flow, fans think the star behind the face is Rebel Wilson, 43.

They are convinced the Aussie actress - famed for starring in flicks including Bridesmaids and Pitch Perfect - ticks all the boxes.

One took to X to say how the screen star "made a lot of sense" being in the role.

A fan wrote: "Air Fryer has to be Rebel Wilson," as another added: "Rebel Wilson is Air Fryer ..."

A third put: "I'm now thinking air fryer is Rebel Wilson," while a viewer agreed: "Rebel Wilson defo is air fryer."

One then flagged a key Pitch Perfect-related clue and put: "If airfryer is Rebel Wilson the bumblebee clue could reference her being in Pitch Perfect with Hailee Steinfeld as she was the lead in Bumblebee."

Another mused: "Rebel Wilson starred in Senior Year on Netflix which featured a prom so it could be her."

In the first week, the character appeared from a kitchen where they said: "Celebrity chefs doing all the hard work, we all know it's us air fryers being judged and being put to the test."

Images of a market stall appeared in the background as the character then exclaimed: "My voice is well known, you can probably tell, but I once needed help from a girl from Chigwell."

They also reckon the Final Countdown track is a link to the Oscars - with comedienne Rebel a star in Oscar-winning Jojo Rabbit.

The star recently revealed her image revamp after losing five stone.

Other options for the famous face behind the fryer have included Gogglebox and Great British Menu star Andi Oliver.

Many have also speculated singer Jessie Ware is also behind the kitchen equipment - insisting "it must be her."

She hosts podcast Table Manners - also chiming with the kitchen theme.

Meanwhile, a handful of viewers are also convinced that Alison Hammond was the popular star behind the costume.

During one episode, the Air Fryer said: "Celebrity chefs do all the hard work but we all know that it's us Air Fryers."

Commenting on the mystery online, one fan said: "I think Air Fryer is Alison Hammond."

It came as a famous Paul was referenced in the clue and, with Alison fronting Channel 4 show The Great British Bake Off, she works alongside baker Paul Hollywood.
