Devotees of the popular ITV singing competition The Masked Singer are buzzing with speculation, claiming to have definitively unmasked the celebrity behind the Can of Worms costume. This revelation comes mere days before the show's highly anticipated semi-final is scheduled to broadcast.
Fans Decode Clues Pointing to Boyband Legend
Following a tense episode that saw the eliminations of The Mole and Red Panda, revealed as Olly Murs and Harry Hill respectively, attention has sharply focused on the remaining contestants. Among them, the enigmatic Can of Worms has sparked a particular frenzy of online detective work.
Social Media Abuzz with JLS Theories
Viewers have taken to social media platform X in droves, dissecting every clue and vocal nuance. A prevailing theory, gaining significant traction, suggests the performer is a member of the celebrated British boyband JLS.
One fan confidently posted, "I definitely think Can of Worms is one of the JLS guys. I'm going with JB." This sentiment was echoed by others who connected specific hints, such as a mention of gardening, to band member JB Gill's known interests. Another supporter noted, "I still think JB is Can of Worms, he likes gardening and JLS has a song called One Shot."
The speculation doesn't stop there. Several viewers have thrown Marvin Humes' name into the ring, with one querying directly, "Marvin Humes is that you hiding in the Can of Worms???" This collective fan intelligence appears to align with observations made by the show's official panel of judges during the broadcast.
Surviving the Cut to the Semi-Finals
The latest episode culminated in a public vote, determining which five characters would progress. Can of Worms successfully navigated this elimination round, securing a coveted spot in the semi-final alongside fellow contestants Toastie, Conkers, Sloth, and Moth.
This narrow escape from unmasking has only intensified the scrutiny on the character, with fans now more convinced than ever of their JLS hypothesis. The boyband, which also includes Aston Merrygold and Oritsé Williams, is famed for chart-topping hits like Everybody in Love and Beat Again.
A Panel of Familiar Faces Returns
The speculation unfolds under the watchful eyes of the show's regular judging panel. Maya Jama, Jonathan Ross, Mo Gilligan, and Davina McCall all returned for the episode, hosted as usual by Joel Dommett. Their commentary and guesses have further fuelled the public's own investigative efforts.
With the semi-final looming, the question on every viewer's mind is whether the fan theory will be proven correct. Will Can of Worms be unveiled as a JLS star, or does another surprise celebrity await behind the mask? The answer promises to be a major talking point in the world of entertainment television.
