The Masked Singer 2025 final LIVE: Dressed Crab, Wolf and Pufferfish go head-to-head tonight as fans ‘reveal’ winner
IT'S not long now until we finally find out who the celebrity singers are behind the oversized masks – and some TV fans claim to have it all worked out.
The three grand finalists in The Masked Singer this year are Dressed Crab, Pufferfish and Wolf – and viewers are convinced the latter is none other than Wet Wet Wet superstar and Sweet Little Mystery crooner Marti Pellow.
Writing on X, Wrathie (@WrathGirl666) said: "Me, i need to know who Wolf is because the beginning i did think "oh it's Gary Oldman" but then as the series has gone on, i'm starting to see where everyone is coming from when they say they think it's Marti Pellow."
Others, however, still believe it's 70s idol and ex-EastEnders actor David Essex behind the Wolf mask – but say whoever it is will scoop the top prize.
Jillian Balcazar (@BalcazarJillian) wrote on X: "I''m rooting for Dressed Crab & Pufferfish But I have A bad feeling Wolf probably will win."
The Masked Singer is on ITV at 7pm.
