THE Masked Singer's Giant Joel has offered three huge new clues as to their identity during an appearance on Good Morning Britain.

The character - which is a doppelganger of show host Joel Dommett, 39 - left fans stunned when he hit the stage during this year's Christmas special.

Yet just a day before the new The Masked Singer series kicks off - and will see his true identity revealed - the character arrived on the set of the ITV daytime show.

Good Morning Britain host Kate Garraway, 57, told how she found his appearance "so disturbing" before probing for a series of clues.

She asked if he was as well-liked as the real Joel, to which he put a thumbs up, and she replied: "That doesn't give us any help!

"Everyone loves Joel."

The character - who was using foam paddles to give yes and no responses after being put on voice rest - then confirmed they were better looking and funnier than former I'm A Celeb star Joel.

Yet when Kate's co-host Adil Ray, 50, asked if there was a connection to the ITV reality show, they said no.

Later on, Adil - who came under fire from GMB fans for his comments on darts ace Luke Littler, 17, on Thursday - took a stab and suggested it was Olympian Sir Mo Farah behind the mask.

And instead of using their yes or no foam hand, the character simply gave a shrug.

Kate then suggested it could be Mysterious Girl popstar Peter Andre behind the mask.

FAN THEORY

Adil's thought process has been echoed by loyal Masked Singer fans

The character Giant Joel has piqued the curiosity of viewers, with many also speculating that it could be runner Mo.

Taking to X, formerly, Twitter, users have shared their thoughts, with one writing: "Giant Joel mask is Mo Farah, but what’s the link between them 2?"

Another added: "I think Giant Joel is @Mo_Farah!"

Someone else said: "An enjoyable #MaskedSingerUK Christmas special. I think Giant Joel may be Sir Mo Farah."
