“@The_JamesJordan we think it’s you behind the mask! #thebadger,” one pointed out.
James quickly replied: “I can’t sing for toffee,” he laughed, putting those rumours to bed.
Another asked him outright: “@The_JamesJordan are you the badger?” to which he responded with a simple “nope”.
But their guesses might not be completely off topic, as fellow Strictly pro Kevin Clifton is the next best guess behind the whacky disguise.
The Masked Singer airs Saturdays at 7pm on ITV.
