Bake Off star or reality TV host? All the clues and theories about The Masked Singer’s Snail

The Masked Singer viewers have raced to share their theories about which celebrities could have signed up for the latest season.

Since the ITV reality show premiered in 2020, several notable names have appeared on the show, with last year’s winner being McFly’s Danny Jones.

This time around another 12 famous faces will be performing on stage under disguise.

On the premiere episode of the 2025 season, six sung their hearts out – Dressed Crab, Kingfisher, Snail, Spag Bol, Tattoo and Teeth.

Taking to the stage performing Sabrina Carpenter’s Espresso, the judges remarked on Snail’s ‘good voice’ and apparently posh demeanour before speculating who she might be.

Here’s everything we know about Snail so far.

What clues are there for Snail’s identity?

– ‘Dearest gentle Masked Singer viewers…’ – is there a chance they starred in Bridgerton?

– A baby doll was shown in a basket and Snail was then seeing wearing a pin that read ‘welcome home’ – could they have welcomed a child recently?

– ‘Are you wondering what scandalous secrets I might reveal?’ – following in the footsteps of Lady Whistledown, they could be a modern-day gossip columnist

-Snail was shown holding up a tie and boater hat – are they known for being quite posh?

– ‘Snail’s might not be speedy but that doesn’t stop us making our mark at home and further afield. Has Snail made it big in another country?

-Another shot showed them holding two rings.

-Riddle: ‘I can look rather fancy here standing in lace, but sometimes in my mind, it can be up in space.’

Who could Snail on The Masked Singer be?

Emma Willis

The baby and wedding rings set Davina off to believe the person behind Snail was Love is Blind host Emma Willis. She also pointed out that some lace seen in the VT could be linked to the fact the TV host had also recently released a lingerie line.

Emma Bunton

Sir Mo believed the solid performance was an indicator the celebrity had plenty of experience – guessing Baby Spice Emma Bunton was behind the mask.

Jennie Bond

After declaring Snail was ‘so fancy and so posh’ Maya shared her guess – that Snail was none other than Jennie Bond, who was the BBC’s Royal Correspondent for over a decade.

Amber Davies

Also thinking Snail could be a reality TV star, Mo speculated it could be former Love Island star Amber Davies, who has since gone on to become a sought-after West End star.

Dame Mary Berry or Dame Prue Leith

Known for his accurate guesses in the past, Jonathan thinks a Bake Off star might be the famous face behind the costume after cakes and pastries were show. However, he couldn’t quite decide between Dame Mary Berry or Dame Prue Leith.

Sharing their guesses on social media, eager viewers threw some other names in the mix.

‘Snail is Nicola Coughlan…Bridgerton, Derry Girls and Dr Who related clues!’ Emme posted on X.

‘I think Snail is Nicole Scherzinger,’ Sarah shared.

‘Snail is Celia Imrie, the clothes are similar colours to what she wore in nanny McPhee and the tie and hat is from when she was in St Trinian’s,’ Sinead added.

The Masked Singer continues tomorrow at 6.30pm on ITV1.
