Masked Singer's Pigeon 'is Doctor Who star' after obvious outfit and song clues, say fans

Masked Singer UK viewers believe they have worked out Pigeon's true identity, after their first performance last weekend.

Viewers are now convinced Pigeon sounded like comedian and actress Catherine Tate, and that the clues match her too.

Clues included the song No Scrubs by TLC, a London backdrop in the clue video and having ruffled a few feathers.

She said: "I might be an old bird but ageing has never bothered me," and suggested she was "good at being able to ask the tougher questions."

Her outfit included a knitted cardigan slippers and glasses, with Pigeon looking like a typical old lady clothing wise - backed by her comments about ageing.

Pigeon's riddle was: "I'm an old pigeon mama and I've such a warm heart. Let me share some of my wisdom, life imitates art."

All of these clues were majorly hinting at comedian Catherine being Pigeon, while the panel and viewers believed they were putting on their spoken and singing voice to disguise their true identity.

No Scrubs could link to a Doctor, with Catherine being in Doctor Who. Catherine is also from London.

References to an "old bird" and her outfit could be a huge link to her famous comedy character, Catherine Tate's Nan - who certainly has ruffled feathers with her swearing on live TV.

Another hint is her comment "ageing has never bothered me", as another of her comedy characters, Lauren, had the famous catchphrase "Am I bovvered?".

Viewers began sharing the clues they spotted too, believing the carrot in the VT was linked to her red hair, and the intro song Come Fly With Me being a reference to the comedy show of this name, which she starred in.

She said life imitates art which could be about her impersonations, or one fan pointed out her surname was within the word 'imitate'.

This all certainly points to Catherine being Pigeon, and fans took to Twitter to state that this was likely the case.

Taking to Twitter, one viewer said: "Pigeon is Catherine Tate!!! 100%%%%%."

Another said: "I know that voice! I know that outfit! Pigeon…. Are you #catherinetate ?!"

A third fan wrote: "Catching up on #MaskedSingerUK - I think Pigeon could be Catherine Tate," as a fourth said: "im now convinced pigeon is catherine tate. is she bovvered though."

The comments kept on coming too, as more and more viewers claimed Catherine had to be the star under the Pigeon costume.

A fan wrote: "Pigeon - sounds like catherine Tate," echoed by another tweet that read: "Pigeon sounds a lot like Catherine Tate."

The Masked Singer UK airs Saturdays at 7PM on ITV1 and ITVX.
