ITV’s hit show The Masked Singer continues this weekend – however, the big finale isn’t far away, with ITV confirming when we’ll discover this year’s big winner

The Masked Singer is hosted by Joel Dommett, who'll be announcing the show's winner in just a few weeks

The Masked Singer’s finale date has been confirmed, with three stars set to be unmasked as one winner is crowned.

The ITV2 show has captivated fans over the last few weeks, as celebrity panellists Maya Jama, Mo Gilligan, Jonathan Ross and Rita Ora try to identity the famous faces behind the masks. So far, we’ve seen the likes of Kate Garraway, Prue Leith, Macy Gray, Carol Decker and Mel Giedroyc take off their masks as their time in the competition has come to an end.

But with seven stars remaining on the show, it won’t be long until the final is upon us – with ITV confirming when viewers can expect to watch one contestant becoming The Masked Singer’s new winner.

The show’s final is set to air on ITV on Saturday 15 February, with the three contestants standing will perform for one last time before revealing their identities.

Viewers have taken to social media to give their guesses as to who the remaining stars could be, with many convinced that Bear is actually famous rapper Example, real name Elliot John Gleave. One fan wrote on Reddit: “Bear *has* to be Example. Looking at the visual clues, I’ve got these to fit. Other clues in Episode 2: ‘Home amongst flowers’ = partner is called Daisy.

“Hungry for competition = maybe referencing the Nandos rap with Ed Sheeran. Other clues in Episode 3: ‘What a way to KICKSTART the competition’ = name of top 10 single. ‘Pet Shop Supplies’ = collab with Pet Shop Boys. ‘Herring in a Net’ = mentored in comedy by Richard Herring.”

Meanwhile, others were sure that one particular Coronation Street legend had majorly slipped up by revealing themselves to be Wolf. Nigel Havers – who played Lewis Archer on the soap – revealed the poster for his solo tour, in which he’s sat in a chair with a wolf mask on the floor.

The tour, which is titled ‘Talking B*LL*CKS’, is set to kick off at the Gillian Lynne Theatre on Drury Lane and that fan is convinced that the poster “gives away” Wolf’s identity.

Earlier in the week, fans were convinced that Pufferfish could be EastEnders’ star Shona McGarty, with one viewer writing: “Going Whitney from Eastenders as Pufferfish #themaskedsingeruk #TheMaskedSinger.” Another said: “Whitney Dean From eastenders #maskedsingeruk #maskedsinger.”

The Masked Singer continues on Saturday at 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
