The Masked Singer UK theories

Is Bush Baby Stephen Mulhern?

Fans think ITV presenter Stephen Mulhern could be the show's Bush Baby, due to the magic clue. Mulhern is known for his magic shows and has released a number of children's magic sets and videos.

Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: "Bush baby gotta be Stephen Mulhern from that magic trick clue at the beginning."

Another asked: "Stephen Mulhern for Bush Baby?"

Responding to the rumours on Loose Women, Mulhern said: "A lot of people are texting me at the moment, a couple of them are trying to catch me out as well. They go: 'Hi Bush Baby', expecting that I'm going to reply."

"It would be a shame if I gave it away so I can't say yes, I can't say no."

However he did add that the more recent clues did point towards him, adding: "They did give a lot of clues away last week to the point where I was thinking I was Bush Baby."

Is Bush Baby Dynamo?

Following Bush Baby's performance, Rita Ora suggested magician Dynamo could be behind the mask. During the VT, there was a little reference to magic and many thought the character could be faking its accent, which puts Bradford-born Dynamo in a good position.

And if that wasn't enough, Dynamo has only gone and sparked more rumours by fuelling the speculation.

Taking to Twitter, the magician wrote: "I’m not saying I’m the BushBaby. But have you ever seen me and BushBaby in the same room at the same time...#MaskedSinger #bushbaby #Maskedsingeruk.”

Is Bush Baby Peter Andre?

He entered the I'm A Celebrity jungle in 2004 and starred in a number of reality series featuring himself and his ex-wife Katie Price. He has since competed on Strictly Come Dancing and appeared on Loose Women, Big Star's Little Star and Through the Keyhole.

As for the Bush Baby rumours, Andre recently added fuel to fire by refusing to rule himself out.

"Jonathan Ross has suggested that the Bush Baby on The Masked Singer could be me," he wrote in his New! magazine column. "At this point in time, I’m able to say nothing, because it would spoil the fun, wouldn’t it? It’s a great show, and I think they should get me on there as a judge."

Is Bush Baby Jamie Oliver?
