Who is Dressed Crab on The Masked Singer 2025?
Each year, The Masked Singer sees a selection of stars don elaborate costumes before taking to the stage to sing in front of the judges and those watching at home.
This season, viewers will be tasked with unmasking the identity of twelve characters, including Dressed Crab, Snail and Bush.
Dressed Crab made their debut on the show on Saturday, January 4, 2025.
They sang Bill Withers' track Lean On Me.

Their second performance took place on Saturday, January 18, and this time they performed Earth, Wind & Fire's hit Let's Groove.
Unfortunately, this wasn't enough to win over the audience as Dressed Crab landed in the bottom two with Tattoo.
After singing Drift Away by Dobie Gray the judges voted to save the crustacean, meaning Tattoo was unmasked as 80s pop icon Carol Decker.

Who do the judges think Dressed Crab could be?
This year, it is the job of judges Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Mo Gilligan and Maya Jama to figure out who is hiding behind the mask based on their voice and the clues shared during each show.
After his fist performance, Jonathan plumped for Jamie Foxx, while new judge Maya chose Billy Porter.

Mo went for a different Porter - Gregory - while guest judge Sir Mo Farah selected diving superstar Tom Daley.
Davina was convinced it was singer The Weeknd.
After the second performance, Maya stuck to her guns, with Davina now agreeing it is Billy Porter.
Jonathan selected Nile Rodgers, Mo Gilligan chose Seal, and guest Tom Daley thought it might be Adam Lambert.
Who do The Masked Singer fans think Dressed Crab is?
With the 2025 season in full swing, The Masked Singer fans have put their detective skills to the test in a bid to unmask Dressed Crab.
Taking to X to share their theories, one fan wrote: ''Such a soulful performance from Dressed Crab - I hear Gregory Porter!

''He played American football at university. He's 'never out of fashion' - has a song called 'In Fashion'. I'm with Mo - Gregory Porter!''
And a second viewer added: ''Crab sounds so much like Gregory Porter.''
Others backed Maya, agreeing it was Billy Porter.
Fans are still divided but some new theories have resurfaced since that latest performance.
Due to the towering height and the NFL mask worn by The Masked Singer, the Brooklyn Nine-Nine star and ex-NFL linebacker Terry Crews has been named as a potential fit.
One person wrote on X: "Terry Crews played in the NFL, the crab is absolutely massive and it also sounds exactly like Terry Crews."
Another said: "Dressed crab has to be Terry Crews? The NFL mask made me think of longest yard and/or White Chicks."
A third posted: "Dressed crab could be Terry Crews, he is an American and was an NFL player."
Some viewers have other ideas.
Keeping in with the American football clue, some think that former American footballer and ex-Strictly star Jason Bell could be the hidden celebrity.
Other guesses from fans of the show include Randy Newman, Billy Ocean and Clarke Peters.

Who has left The Masked Singer 2025 so far?
Much to the delight of telly fans, The Masked Singer is back in 2025.
Twelve celebrities have been hidden behind intricate costumes, with their identities concealed.
Sadly, not all of this year's whacky and wonderful characters can make it to the end of the show, as there can only be one winner.
Here's who has been unmasked so far:
Tattoo - despite Davina McCall saying "you sound the same" after this character was unmasked, none of the judges guessed it was 80s singer Carol Decker, whose hit China In Your Hand was a No1 hit for five weeks
Toad In The Hole - a massive diva strop saw the character storm off the stage after the judges voted them off. They later returned to be unmasked as singer Macy Gray
Pegasus - the mythical horse was revealed to be Prue Leith, with judge Jonathan Ross correctly guessing her identity
Spag Bol - this character was first to be unmasked and was none other than Good Morning Britain host Kate Garraway.
Plus there was one extra unmasking this season, with Giant Joel - a caricature of host Joel Dommett - unveiled as double-double Olympic champion Sir Mo Farah.
