The Masked Singer 2022: Michael Sheen convinced two Welsh stars are taking part

The Masked Singer UK is hotting up as this year's characters continue to conceal their identities in order to stump viewers and the panel alike as they sing on stage under a guise.

Saturday night saw Keane singer Tom Chaplin revealed to be Poodle. You can find a full list of voted off celebrities and a list of those still in the game here.

Among those still in the game are Mushroom and Traffic Cone, and Welsh actor Michael Sheen is convinced he knows who is behind both masks.

Taking to Twitter over the weekend, the star wrote: "I have never been more sure of anything in my life than that Traffic Cone is ALED JONES! #maskedsinger."

And after watching Mushroom peform, Michael added: "OH MY GOD IT'S A WELSH DOUBLE HEADER - MUSHROOM IS CHARLOTTE CHURCH!!!! #maskedsinger."

Some fans have been guessing Aled and Charlotte are behind the characters for a while, with many clues pointing towards the singers.

During their second performance, Traffic Cone dropped their biggest clue yet, telling viewers at home "I had a gold plated childhood" as part of their two lies and a truth.

It led many to believe it could be a reference to Walking On Air.

However, Michael's tweet has left some people thinking it could be him behind the mask.

"This is real funny because I think the Traffic Cone is you," wrote one person in response to Michael, while another added: "I did think that but now I'm certain it's you!"

A third said: "Hmm now this is making me think Traffic Cone is Michael. It did sound more like him than Aled this week."

While a fourth commented: "I said last week that the Traffic Cone is Michael Sheen and I think this proves it sorry."

And while people think Michael could be bluffing over Traffic Cone, many agree with his Charlotte theory.

"Totally agree," wrote one fan, while another added: "Yep!! Think so too!"

Following one of the clue packages, a viewer tweeted: "I love Mushroom - fantastic singer, brilliant at accents and SUCH a fun-gi!

"Has to be Charlotte Church now that the clues back her up! Sang at inauguration of George W Bush, was in Under MILK Wood, JUDGE on Over The Rainbow, hosted a CHAT show."

Another added: "White Ws on the bushes in Mushroom's VT... Am sure Charlotte Church sang at the White House."

And following the latest show, one fan pointed out: "Catching up on The Masked Singer, and Mushroom says WORD FOR WORD what Charlotte Church said on her renovation programme earlier this week about the underground connection in the forest."
