The Masked singer viewers were left in shock after learning Teeth is a woman on Saturday’s episode.

The mysterious character has so far been one of the most controversial to guess – with both fans and judges scratching their heads over the enigma.

Maya previously suggested Rob Beckett might be behind the mask, while Jonathan leaned towards Rylan Clark or Alan Carr.

Davina believed it could be Alex Scott, and Mo threw out the name Jimmy Bullard.

And it was TV alum Davina, 57, to grasp the most relevant clue – previously insisting ‘Teeth is a woman’.

Meanwhile, fans of the ITV show unanimously leaned for Alan Carr and Inbetweeners’ star James Buckley, while some voted for Henry Hill.

Someone else suggested on the social platform: ‘I think Teeth is a female footballer. Don’t think its Jill Scott as she’s quite tall. Whoever it is she’s deffo putting that cockney accent on. #TheMaskedSinger.’

Last week, viewers of the show once again speculated on Teeth’s mysterious identity – guessing it could be beloved sitcom actor James, 37.

The English star – who is also a musician and podcaster – is well-remembered for playing Jay Cartwright in the E4 sitcom from 2008 to 2010.

After countless guesses, fans came to the conclusion it could be James – with some even saying they were ‘100% sure’ of the theory on X.

The ITV show made its highly-anticipated return this month, with 12 famous faces donning extravagant costumes to entertain the nation.

The sixth season’s judging panel included Mo Gilligan and Jonathan Ross, with Maya Jama and Sir Mo Farah joining as special guests.

Presenter Joel Dommett kicked off the episode by asking Maya who she wanted to see perform first and she selected Teeth.

From clues such as ‘I’ve always been a big mouth’ and ‘I’ve bitten off more than I can chew’ to ‘I know how to tackle the Masked Singer’ and ‘going for gold’, theories began swirling at who is behind the mask.

Teeth later took to the stage to perform a rendition of (Is This The Way To) Amarillo by Tony Christie and shared the riddle: ‘I’ve been schooled in variety, I have lots in the mix, the way I perform knocks the audience for six.’

Elsewhere in the programme, it was the identity of Giant Joel was finally revealed, leaving fans shocked, however it seems Maya Jama had already spoiled the surprise.

The episode kicked off by unmasking Sir Mo Farah as the star posing as host Joel Dommett’s doppelganger.

The character has been teased since the end of the Christmas special, which aired on Boxing Day.

Mo Gilligan guessed it was Mark Wright, while Davina McCall and Maya Jama went for Ant and Dec, but it was Jonathan Ross who got it right, by guessing it was the Olympic legend.

However, earlier in the day Maya appeared to accidentally let Giant Joel’s identity slip as she took to Instagram with a selection of snaps from her first episode on the ITV show.

Posing in a selfie with Mo, one fan appeared to clock on as they warned the panelist, writing: ‘The 6th one… you may wish to delete that.’

Although, Maya made sure to confirm that it was public knowledge that Mo was going to be a guest panelist.

Joel also revealed that his wife Hannah Cooper has said he is not allowed to keep the costume following the show as they don’t have space.

He said: ‘My wife has said that I’m not allowed to keep it because we don’t have space, so I have told her that we need to buy a marginally bigger house.

‘Maybe we can turn it upside down and turn it into a really cool laundry bin or something.’

The presenter revealed that he has only shown Hannah the doppelganger and is ‘excited’ for the rest of his family to see it on the show.

He added: ‘I actually haven’t shown my family yet! I’m excited for them to see it. The only thing weirder than watching your son on the telly is watching a big version of your son on telly standing next to your son on telly!’

It comes after Joel revealed the awkward blunder he made when Maya Jama first joined the judging panel on The Masked Singer.

The show host, 39, said viewers should brace themselves for ‘twists and turns’ as the new series of episodes are set to air, adding that he even saw one contestant storm off the stage.

Series three, which aired on Saturday, January, 4, 2025 at 7pm on ITV1, was also the first time fans saw Maya’s debut as a panelist on the show.
