The identity of another celebrity contestant has been revealed on ITV's popular Saturday night entertainment show, The Masked Singer, as the competition narrows down to its final three contenders. In a thrilling episode that featured a double unmasking, the remaining five performers battled for a coveted spot in next week's grand finale.
Double Elimination Shakes Up the Competition
During the latest instalment of the whimsical guessing game, all five remaining celebrities – Moth, Can of Worms, Conkers, Toastie, and Sloth – delivered captivating performances in a bid to secure their place in the final. However, the evening concluded with two contestants being sent home, dramatically reshaping the lineup for the ultimate showdown.
First to be eliminated was the character Sloth, who was unveiled as documentary presenter and CastAway star Ben Fogle. His revelation left many viewers astonished, with social media reactions describing audiences as 'shook' by the unexpected disclosure. Following another round of performances from the four remaining contestants, host Joel Dommett announced that Can of Worms would also be leaving the competition.
Marvin Humes Revealed as Can of Worms
The intricate Can of Worms costume concealed none other than former JLS star and current radio host Marvin Humes. Upon his unmasking, Humes shared his unique experience on the show, remarking, "It's the most bizarre show. I just sang all the songs I sing to the kids at home." He added that while his eldest child was aware of his participation, his other two children remained in the dark about his secret role.
For many dedicated fans, Humes' identity did not come as a complete surprise. Observant viewers had previously speculated about the celebrity behind the costume, pointing to clever clues embedded in the show. Notably, a framed photograph featuring Top Gear presenters James May and Richard Hammond was highlighted as a significant hint, given that Marvin's middle names are Richard and James.
Fan Reactions and Social Media Buzz
The unveiling of Marvin Himes sparked a flurry of reactions on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. One enthusiastic fan commented, "Can of Worms is JLS member Marvin Humes (well we all saw that one coming)." Another expressed disappointment, stating, "Marvin Humes has been fantastic as Can Of Worms. Gutted we didn’t get to see him duet with Robin in the final - they could have performed in the same JLS garden!"
Additional reactions included a user admitting, "Can of worms was MARVIN HUMES why did I not think of him," while a self-proclaimed "TRUE JLS FAN" triumphantly declared, "I KNEW IT WAS YOU." These responses underscore the show's ability to engage and excite its audience through mystery and celebrity revelation.
Final Three Contestants Prepare for Showdown
With both Sloth and Can of Worms now unmasked, the competition has been whittled down to three finalists: Toastie, Moth, and Conkers. These remaining celebrities will now prepare to face off in next week's highly anticipated final episode, where one will be crowned the winner of The Masked Singer.
The grand finale promises to deliver an evening of entertainment, suspense, and spectacular performances as the identities of the last masked celebrities are finally revealed. Fans across the UK can tune in to watch the conclusion of this series on ITV1 and ITVX, marking the end of another captivating season of one of television's most talked-about shows.
