The Masked Singer 2023 clues for remaining contestants as double elimination looms

The Masked Singer UK returns on Saturday, February 4 as the remaining seven contestants take to the stage in a bid to continue to bamboozle the judging panel and audience. The fourth series kicked off on New Year's Day and after tonight's episode only four characters will remain thanks to a double elimination.

Last week saw Katherine Ryan unmasked as Pigeon, the comedian, who was pregnant at the time of filming, shocked judges Mo Gilligan, Davina McCall, Rita Ora and Jonathan Ross during her big reveal. You can read more about her exit here.

Those remaining in the competition are Fawn, Knitting, Otter, Rhino, Jacket Potato, Jellyfish and Phoenix. Many viewers are convinced Rhino is former Busted singer Charlie Simpson, while others think Step's Claire Richards is behind Knitting.

However, Phoenix, Fawn, Jellyfish and Otter have been a little harder to pin down with guesses and theories from the judges and fans differing each week.
