The Masked Singer UK: Winterwatch presenter quizzed over Panda clues live on air

The Masked Singer UK is back for 2022 and each week viewers are glued to their screens as they try to work out the identity of this year's characters.

So far four celebrities have been unveiled, including Pat Cash, Will Young, Gloria Hunniford and Heather Small. You can read more about the contestants who have left the show here.

There are eight contestants left in the game, all of which will get another chance to sing on stage under a guise on Saturday night in the hopes of stumping both the judges and the viewers at home.

And following an interview with Zoe Ball on her Radio 2 show, fans think it could now indeed be Michaela behind Panda.

Ahead of the new series of Winterwatch, Zoe took the opportunity to ask the presenter about The Masked Singer UK theories.

"Michaela the internet is talking.... people are convinced you are Panda on The Masked Singer," Zoe said.

When Michaela failed to respond, Zoe continued: "I can hear Michaela giggling at this very fact and not giving much away."

"Someone pointed out you might have been in South Africa when they were filming it," she continued.

"Michaela I ask you out straight, you do have a fondness for Pandas, would you want to sing as one?"

Responding, Michaela kept her cards close to her chest and said: "Zoe can I tell you people think I'm Panda, people have said I'm Penguin, Mushroom... I think it's for me to know and you all to find out."

It comes after comedian Rob Beckett appeared to reveal he was behind Traffic Cone in an "accidental" tweet, but others think the comedian was joking. You can read more on this here.

The Masked Singer UK returns Saturday night at 7pm on ITV.
