The Masked Singer 2023 semi-final clues for singers left in competition as double elimination looms

It's The Masked Singer semi-final and viewers tuning in on Saturday, February 11 will see five disguised celebrities sing for survival as they hope for a spot in the final next week.

Those remaining in the competition are Fawn, Rhino, Jacket Potato, Jellyfish and Phoenix. Many viewers are convinced Rhino is former Busted singer Charlie Simpson, while others think an All Saints singer could be Fawn.

Guesses for Jacket Potato throughout the competition have included EastEnders actor Shane Richie and former Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora. You can read more on this here. However, Phoenix, Fawn, Jellyfish have been a little harder to pin down with guesses and theories from the judges and fans differing each week.

There will be another double elimination this week after we saw Knitting and Otter unmasked last week. Steps star, Claire Richards was Knitting, while comedian and actress, Daisy May Cooper was Otter, more on that here.
