Masked Singer's Pigeon's real identity 'solved' by fans after accent clue

The Masked Singer UK fans have 'solved' who Pigeon is on the ITV series.

Fans are sure it's none other than Emily Atack, after their latest performance - believing the voice and the clues gave it away.

The new clues for Pigeon included winning a title, enjoying 'a natter' and being in the top 10 charts.

Meanwhile, previous clues were possible links to Doctor Who and comedy, while there were several hints to an elderly woman or character, and a famous catchphrase.

After Pigeon performed Yeah by Usher on the latest episode, fans took to Twitter convinced they had the right person as the celebrity under the mask.

Taking to Twitter, one viewer wrote: "'Too cool for school' Emily Atack was in Inbetweeners. #pigeon"

Another tweeted: "I think pigeon is Emily Atack @EmAtack cos she’s good at impressions #MaskedSingerUK."

A third fan commented: "Pigeon’s “voice” does sound like Emily Atack’s impression of Gemma Collins, which would be very meta #MaskedSingerUK"

Meanwhile, a fourth fan wrote: "If you've ever watched the Emily Atack show, Pidgeon sounds exactly like her impersonation of Gemma Collins #MaskedSingerUK."

It follows last week's show, that saw the panel reeling over the true identities of Cat and Mouse.

The duo were unmasked as celebrity couple and singers Martin and Shirlie Kemp, and none of the panel correctly guessed the result.

Martin confessed he was more nervous being under the mask, as he confessed: "I was more nervous. I could literally hear my heart in my ears," whilst Shirlie said it was harder to sing in the mask than out of one.

"It is just so off the wall. It’s so much harder to sing in the mask than you imagine it will be," she added.

The week before this, music legend Lulu was revealed to be Piece of Cake in a huge surprise, that the panel once again did not see coming.

On doing the show, Lulu revealed: "My grandchildren love this show, they love it! I love it too and that’s why I’m here. Because it’s such a fun show."

The first contestant on the series to be eliminated was Ghost, who turned out to be former footballer and presenter Chris Kamara.

Asked why he did the show, Chris said: "I did it for the grandkids. I want to see the surprise on their faces when they see me unmasked on the show. Not even my wife knows so it’s going to be a surprise for the whole family.

"I’m not the best at keeping secrets so I’m not sure what will shock them most, taking part in the show or keeping it a secret."

Chris said he found it particularly difficult wearing the costume - as it was quite "restrictive".

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