Many have revealed their theory that pop singer Jamie Cullum is the man behind the mask after hearing the powerhouse vocals.
Jamie rose to fame in the early 2000s thanks to his jazz-pop crossover musical style.
It wasn't until his third album, Twentysomething, that he hit the big time on the charts with the 2003 record going on to become the UK's biggest selling jazz album in history.
Despite some theory that the man behind the mask is McFly singer Danny Jones, many viewers are now leaning toward Jamie as being the correct identity.
Panellist Rita Ora even gave her suggestion on the show that she thought Jamie could be the mystery celebrity and it appears that fans think she is on to something.
Taking to X - formerly Twitter - to have their say, one person wrote: "Piranha so sounds like Jamie Cullum."
Another person echoed: "Piranha, I think, is either Paulo Nutini or Jamie Cullum on The Masked Singer."
A third went on to write: "Jamie Cullum played at the festival of remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall one year, just saying #maskedsingeruk."
