The Masked Singer UK returned to screens tonight with all eight remaining celebrities performing once again, in a bid to keep their identities a secret. Following the Sausage’s performance, fans were quick to speculate it could be Stacey Solomon behind the mask.
The mother-of-three has been linked to the Sausage since the beginning and has refused to confirm or deny if it is her.
Today, she has also noticeably taken a rare break from her Instagram, despite usually posting on a daily basis.
Express.co.uk has contacted a representative for Stacey for comment.
New clues about Sausage were unveiled tonight, including the singer being called “a horse” and hiding behind a mask in previous times.
Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: “SURELY sausage is Stacey Solomon that laugh is so recognisable #MaskedSingerUK.”
Comedian Francine Lewis wrote: “@StaceySolomon is the sausage #MaskedSingerUK.”
“The sausage is definitely @StaceySolomon #TheMaskedSingerUK,” a third added.
A fourth added of the Sausage: “I still think Sheridan Smith… but the clues this week lead me to Stacey Solomon. #MaskedSingerUK.”
Stacey was asked about the speculation on a recent Loose Women episode.
When asked if it could be heard, she replied: “I wished!”
Last week, former footballer Glenn Hoddle was unveiled as the celebrity behind the Grandfather Clock.
Ahead of this, Martine McCutcheon was exposed under the Swan costume.
Speaking out about the secrecy on the show, the actress admitted she was forced to ignore her friend Louise Redknapp after the latter guessed it was her.
The singer text Martine to ask if it was her after telling fans she recognised the voice.
Addressing this on This Morning, the EastEnders actress said: “I felt so bad because she was texting me, ‘It is you?’ And I was like, I’m under contract I can’t say.
“I was just ignoring her, it was annoying, I didn’t know what to do.”
But after the news of her being behind the mask was out, she later responded to her friend and apologised for ignoring her.
She added: “And in the end, I was like, ‘I’m so sorry Louise, you were spot on’.”
The Masked Singer continues next Saturday at 7pm on ITV.
