The Masked Singer – clues that Wolf is Marti Pellow

For weeks, Wet Wet Wet fans have been convinced that the voice behind Wolf is none other than 1980s heart-throb Marti Pellow.

In the clue packages, we’ve seen umbrellas (that you use when it’s wet wet wet out); Angel from Buffy’s eyes in a picture frame (Marti had a smash hit with the single Angel Eyes); as well as the fact he works well alone of in a pack (a reference to him going solo).

The Lost Chapter clue

But one you might have missed was when Wolf was seen reading a book last Saturday night.

The contents page featured chapter one, chapter two, chapter three and chapter five. Chapter four was missing… or lost… And the name of Marti’s 2023 book and accompanying tour was, you guessed it, The Lost Chapter.

Christine Lampard was speaking about it on Lorraine earlier today (February 7), and Lucie Cave agreed that all signs do seem to point to Marti.

Absolutely amazing! I was spellbound – Marti just gets better and better.

The singer, who’ll soon celebrate 30 years of sobriety following addiction to drink and drugs, a long-time friend of the show.

‘A million per cent Marti Pellow’

Fans of the singer agree. The Marti Pellow fan page on Facebook has seen the majority of its followers convinced Marti is under Wolf’s mask on The Masked Singer.

“It’s definitely Marti Pellow!” declared one. “No doubt at all, it’s one of my favourites,” another also said. “It sure is our Marti!” said a third. “A million per cent Marti Pellow. Seriously, how has he not been guessed?!” another asked.

“Absolutely amazing! I was spellbound – Marti just gets better and better,” another then added.
