Masked Singer’s Cricket is huge internationally famous popstar with model ex, claim fans
FANS of The Masked Singer think they have figured out who Cricket is - and they're saying it's an internationally famous popstar.
The insect took to the stage fully kitted out in sports gear to sing his opening tune.
And his performance wowed judges, seeing the competitor through to the next round of the ITV singing show.
Based on his old fashioned way of speaking and slow shuffle on stage holding his back, some viewers think they have cracked the code and know who is behind the mask.
One person took to social media, exclaiming: "Cricket is Seal. He is 60 years old!!"
Another agreed: "Cricket is Seal, he is 60 too."

A third mused: "Cricket sounds a bit like Seal."
Someone else speculated: "Got Dionne right away and calling Debra Stephenson for Rat. Cricket is either Seal or Simon Webbe."
Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel is a British singer and songwriter, best known for his song Kiss From A Rose.
He rose to fame in 1991 with his debut album and went on to become a Brit award winner.
The pop star started dating American-German model Heidi Klum in 2004 and the couple got married the following year.
They had three children together and Seal even adopted Heidi's child from a previous marriage before the pair split in 2012.
After Cricket's moment in the limelight, the Masked Singer judges also had some guesses about who the character really was.
Davina McCall thought it could be Jay Blades, citing the 'blades' of grass in his entrance VT as her reason.
The character then revealed his riddle as he said 'I hope my performance was bowling you over, like when I got dizzy while perched on a sofa'.
This left the panel confused as Jonathan Ross subsequently changed his pick to comedian Vic Reeves.
However, it seems that could be a red herring as the mystery celeb was left laughing when he returned backstage.
