Dedicated viewers of The Masked Singer are convinced they have cracked the code surrounding the mysterious identity of the latest contestant, Can Of Worms. Following an episode packed with cryptic hints, a growing number of fans are declaring that the performer behind the quirky costume is none other than singer and television presenter Marvin Humes.
Eight Tell-Tale Clues Point To JLS Star
Speculation has reached fever pitch on online forums, with one fan compiling a comprehensive list of eight distinct clues that seemingly point directly to Marvin Humes. The analysis, shared on Reddit, meticulously cross-references elements from Can Of Worms' introductory video package with known facts about the JLS member's life and career.
Decoding The Cryptic Hints
The fan's detailed breakdown highlights several compelling connections. A prominent visual clue featured a yellow step labelled 'naughty step' in a garden setting. The poster noted that Marvin and his wife, Rochelle Humes, have publicly discussed using the 'naughty step' as a parenting discipline technique during interviews and appearances on This Morning.
Further clues included references to being an 'early bird' and imagery of pastries and a bakery. The fan theorised this could link to Marvin's role as a host on the morning television programme, where such breakfast items are commonly featured. Another significant hint was the phrase 'written in the stars,' which fans connected to JLS's collaboration with Tinie Tempah, who has a famous song of the same name.
Initials, Branding, And Family Ties
The clue-hunting extended to more subtle details. A brief on-screen appearance by presenters James May and Richard Hammond was interpreted as an 'initials' clue, pointing to Marvin Humes' initials, M.H. The garden setting for the can of worms prop was linked to the colour green, which is notably Marvin's designated colour for JLS merchandise and branding.
An obscure reference to a zucchini at a trade show was cleverly connected to Marvin hosting the 2016 BAFTA Children's Awards, where a winning film was titled My Life as a Courgette. Finally, a clue about something 'running in the family' was speculated to refer to his close, brotherly bond with his JLS bandmates.
Alternative Theories And A Shocking Unmasking
While many supporters have rallied behind the Marvin Humes theory, the online discussion has also spawned alternative guesses. Some viewers have proposed that the contestant could be fellow JLS member JB Gill, citing clues related to singing, presenting, and even a gardening career. Another name floated was presenter Reggie Yates, though fans admitted some clues did not perfectly align.
The speculation comes hot on the heels of a dramatic elimination in the previous episode. The characters Sloth and Gargoyle found themselves in the bottom two, with Gargoyle ultimately being sent home after a performance of 'Bad Reputation'. In a stunning reveal, Gargoyle was unmasked as Marcella Detroit of the iconic 90s band Shakespears Sister, leaving both judges and the audience utterly shocked.
Reflecting on her time in the competition, Marcella Detroit expressed sadness at her departure but gratitude for the experience. She revealed that the offer to participate coincided with a long-held desire to return to the UK with her British husband, making the opportunity feel perfectly timed by the universe.
