The Masked Singer has finally returned back to our screens to ring on the new year and fans are convinced they’ve already worked out the identity of Mushroom.
During the first episode of the latest series, Mushroom gave a breathtaking performance that blew the judges away.
Mushroom still remains masked.
But fans can’t help but predict who the mysterious Mushroom is!
The Clues
Mushroom treated fans to an incredible rendition of It’s Oh So Quiet by Bjork.
But before their performance, Mushroom shared a host of cryptic clues about who’s hiding behind that leafy green exterior.
The clues included lots of legal references, especially when Mushroom was seen holding a Gavel.
There was also a reference to bringing “new life” and “wanting to be a number of things”.
Mushroom also revealed a clue to the panel where they said: “I just want to bring peace and love man.”

After watching the clue package, many Doctor Who fans believe they spotted a few references to the series and are convinced that Mushroom is Jodie Whittaker.
One fan tweeted: “Mushroom is Jodie Whittaker surely? So many Doctor Who refs.”
Another person said: “My first guess was that Mushroom is Jodie Whittaker. There was a few time mentions, but I do think it’s someone doing the accent.”
What do The Masked Singer judges think?
When Mushroom was singing she appeared to have a strong Irish accent which lead the audience to believe it could be someone from Ireland.
However, Davina McCall was convinced that it might be a ‘fake’ accent and guessed British actress Vicky McClure.
Jonathan Ross thought it might be Rebel Wilson because she’s great with accents and she has a law degree.
Rita Ora also guessed it could be US pop star SIA.
And Mo Gilligan joked that it might be Greta Thunberg because of their love for the planet.
Who is Mushroom?
A number of names were raised by viewers watching at home about who the masked celebrity could be.
Many people guessed that Mushroom could potentially be comedian and This Way Up star Aisling Bea.
One fan tweeted: “Catching up on #TheMaskedSingerUk. Mushroom is Aisling Bea. Sounds just like her when she sang.”
Someone else wrote: “Definitely think Mushroom is Aisling Bea #TheMaskedSingerUK.”
Another added: “Mushroom is definitely Aisling Bea I could hear her irish accent too.”
