The Masked Singer UK 2025 LIVE: Fans left furious over Clues for Teeth as they get boot over Bear in tense episode

THE Masked Singer fans were left stunned after Teeth was unmasked as a well-known TV presenter.

The character joined Bear in the bottom two but the panel could only save one of them.

With the mask removed, Mel Giedroyc was revealed to have been performing inside.

She follows in the footsteps of comedy partner Sue Perkins, who was "Dragon" in series two.

Many were not happy to see Bear in the bottom two, however. One fan fumed: "Bear should not have been in the bottom 2."

Another said: "Noooo. You should keep the one that keeps us guessing!!!!"

Teeth's departure leaves seven contestants still in the running - Wolf, Snail, Bush, Kingfisher, Bear, Dressed Crab and Pufferfish.

It seems the mystery celebs this year are certainly giving the ITV show’s judges a run for their money.

The Masked Singer is available on ITVX and STV Player, while the new instalment of the singing competition airs on ITV next Saturday.

    Dressed Crab had the judges on their feet on the weekend as he belted out the Lenny Kravitz hit song Are You Gonna Go My Way.

    Fans at home also watched his incredible performance in awe and they are certain they've figured out his identity.

    Ruling out the popular favourite guess of Gregory Porter, viewers are wondering if Dressed Crab is actually Teddy Swims.

    Discussing their theories on Reddit, one fan said Saturday night's clue of "working with a little faith" was a big hint towards the Lose Control star.

    "I was in the Gregory Porter camp until tonight and one line in the clue package sent me off in a completely different direction. I think it may be Teddy Swims?" the fan wrote.

  • Panel's guesses for Bush

    With the new singing series in full swing, the panel have already made several guesses.

    Davina chose Catherine O'Hara and guest judge Vicky McClure threw BBC's Ground Force host Charlie Dimmock into the mix.

    Other names put forward by the judges were Billie Piper and Stacey Solomon.

    New judge Maya said the clues led her to believe it was Idris Elba, but the voice didn't match.

    After their second performance the judges ALL changed their guesses, suggesting Stacey SolomonKatherine Parkinson, Diane Morgan, Kim Woodburn, and Kerry Godliman.

    Maisie Smith was added to the mix after their third performance, and Jonathan had an outlandish guess... yes, Mary Berry.

  • Fan theories for Bush

    Bush is yet to be unmasked.

    But those watching at home have joined the judges and shared several of their fan theories so far.

    Following an episode of The Masked Singer on Saturday, January 25, 2025, viewers decided that the Baby Reindeer actressJessica Gunning, could be the true identity of Bush.

    Connecting the clues one fan on Reddit wrote: "Could it not be Jessica Gunning?

    "She was an Australian backpacker in Inside No. 9 and was in a small role in the episode Partners in Crime in Doctor Who in 2008."

    MASKED Singer fans are convinced that they have figured out who is behind the identity of Wolf after spotting a massive clue.

    Sitting down on chair with the name of the show "Talking B*LL*CKS" above him, Nigel can be seen promoting his first ever solo show which will be at the Gillian Lynne Theatre, Drury Lane.

    "Check out the advertising for Nigel Havers solo show, what’s that at his feet? Boom," penned the person who shared the poster on Reddit.
