As The Masked Singer approaches its thrilling semi-final stage, dedicated viewers of the ITV competition are buzzing with excitement over what they believe to be a definitive celebrity identification. The remaining five contestants – Moth, Can of Worms, Conkers, Toastie, and Sloth – are set to perform tonight, Saturday, February 7, in a bid to secure their place in next week's grand final.
The Compelling Evidence Pointing to Marvin Humes
While speculation has swirled for weeks that a member of the chart-topping band JLS is concealed within the Can of Worms costume, fans were previously divided between two potential candidates: JB Gill and Marvin Humes. However, a recent clue appears to have tipped the scales decisively in favour of Marvin Humes, convincing many that his identity has been conclusively revealed.
Clue Connections That Seem Too Specific to Ignore
The pivotal moment came when a clue featured images of Top Gear presenters James May and Richard Hammond. This seemingly random reference gained immense significance when fans recalled that Marvin Humes' middle names are, in fact, Richard and James. This direct correlation has been hailed by the show's detective community as far more than mere coincidence.
Further supporting evidence emerged from the contestant's mention of being 'green fingered.' Within JLS lore, each band member was associated with a specific colour, and Marvin Humes was designated the colour green. This alignment adds substantial weight to the growing consensus among viewers.
Social Media Buzz and Fan Theories
On platforms like Reddit and X, formerly known as Twitter, fans have been enthusiastically dissecting every detail. One Reddit user elaborated: "It's Marvin Humes – consider his Jamaican heritage, his wedding in the Maldives, the four worms potentially representing each bandmate, with one even wearing glasses. The middle names Richard and James perfectly explain the James May and Richard Hammond clue."
Another viewer posted on X: "Oh my goodness, is Can of Worms genuinely Marvin Humes? The voice sounds exactly like him, and the 'green fingers' reference directly ties to him being the green member of JLS." Additional comments reinforced this view, with fans stating: "Can of Worms sounds unmistakably like Marvin Humes," and "Marvin Humes is definitely inside the Can of Worms costume."
