Who is Jacket Potato on Masked Singer? Character exposed as Shane Richie by 'undisguised' voice

It took just one chorus of Jacket Potato's first performance on The Masked Singer for many viewers at home to be convinced it was Shane Richie hiding inside the elaborate costume, as they claimed they'd 'recognise that voice anywhere.'

Just like in episode one, the second episode of the new series saw three separate battles, the first of which was between the very Elvis-esque Jacket Potato and Fawn. Jacket Potato was first up, with a clue package that included cards with the words 'Pig Face' and 'Dog Nose' being put into a glass jar, as well as the Potato reading a copy Romeo & Juliet.
