Masked Singer viewers are still 100% sure they 'uncovered' the identity of Fawn, after just one performance, with one word in her first riddle 'confirming' her identity as a girl band icon, well before Saturday's final.
After its return to ITV on New Year's Day attracted an audience in the region of four million viewers, The Masked Singer aired the second episode of its fourth series on Saturday night. Like the series opener, the show saw six different characters compete against each other to bag a place in the next round.
The first 'dual' saw Jacket Potato, who many fans believe is Shane Richie, take on Fawn, with Fawn wowing the panel and people at home with her flawless vocals as she performed Beauty and the Beast. There was mention of 'five sugars' in Fawn's VT, lading many people to think that it could well be a Sugababe hiding inside the costume, with the name cropping up the most being that of Heidi Range, the ex member who was in the group at the height of their name, when they landed number 1s with the likes of Freak Like Me and Push the Button.

However, it's another girl group star who plenty of other viewers are now convinced is Fawn and that person is All Saints' Natalie Appleton. Panellist Rita Ora said she thought Fawn was someone 'in their 40s' which would match as Natalie is 49.
But it was the mention of the words 'black coffee' the name of an All Saints' number 1 and 'sandy', which could be a nod to their smash hit Pure Shores and the fact it was on the soundtrack of The Beach.
But the word that 'sealed the deal' for the in the know fans out there was 'wonderland.' In a riddle after her performance, Fawn said she'd taken a trip to Wonderland but her name isn't Alice.'
This immediately landed on the radar of All Saints fans who remembered that the girls supported Take That on their Wonderland tour in 2017.
Sure it was Natalie behind the Fawn mask, one adamant viewer tweeted: "As a huge All Saints fan I’m pretty sure Fawn is Natalie Appleton! The voice sounds like her, Black Coffee, and the ‘sandy’ clue possibly referring to Pure Shores being on ‘The Beach’ soundtrack."
And, picking up on the Wonderland reference, another posted: "Finally catching up on #TheMaskedSingerUK I do think fawn is one of all saints. Clue I’ve been to wonderland .. they were take that’s support on wonderland tour."
However, while fans have now been convinced that Fawn is Natalie for weeks, the panel have yet to even mention her name, meaning she could win the final with her identity still a big mystery to them.
