Who do the judges think Toastie is on The Masked Singer?
The judges were left confused after Toastie belting performance of Walk This Way in episode two, with Davina proclaiming that they were “back to the drawing board”.
Mo Gilligan through that Toastie’s Scouse accent and impressive voice meant that X Factor finalist Rebecca Ferguson could be behind the mask. After Toastie’s second performance, he went for This Morning star Brenda Edwards.
Maya Jama thought that the clown clue could point towards Scottish singer-songwriter Emeli Sande, who has a song called ‘Clown’. She later thought that Ugly Betty star Vanessa Williams could be behind the mask.
Jonathan Ross was certain that the hidden celebrity was American, guessing names such as Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas and ex-American Idol contestant Jennifer Hudson.
Davina McCall went down another route, thinking that “rebel with a few causes” was a nod to charity work. She went leftfield with a guess of Craig Phillips, former winner of Big Brother but admitted that she didn’t think she was correct and believed it could be a woman. After their second performance, Davina was sure that Toastie was a seasoned performer, possibly on the stage, and went for musical theatre star Marisha Wallace.
Guest judge Freddie Flintoff went with the Scouse accent and thought that Mel C could be behind the mask, with the former Spice Girl having performed on stage in Blood Brothers.
Who do fans think Toastie on The Masked Singer is?
Viewers seem to be united in their guesses for Toastie online, with one name rising to the top.
Loose Women star and former X Factor contestant Brenda Wallace has been pinpointed as the star behind the Toastie mask. One fan said: “I thought Toastie sounded like Brenda Edwards before Mo said it.”
Another fan added: “Just love hearing Toastie - am certain it’s that same voice I first heard back on #XFactor in 2005. She has performed at Bolton Wanderers Stadium, sang at the Royal Variety Performance - has to be Brenda Edwards!”
Brenda played coy when asked about the rumours of her being behind the mask by her Loose Women co-stars. She said on the ITV chat show: “I'm really enjoying the show, it's really exciting and entertaining, isn't it? You've all been asking, stop it.”
However, there are other names that fans have raised in connection with Toastie. These include Lisa Stansfield, Sonique, Jennifer Hudson, and Chaka Khan.
