Some viewers claim Gillian Taylforth is behind the mask and one listed all six clues.

The fan wrote: "Okay new idea for Owl, What about Gillian Taylforth."

One pointed out that the date she was born 1955 appeared in the background during the sing-off 

Subsequent clues included her acting roles in Football Wives, Sink or Swim and Lost in France, referenced in discreet ways by the masked singer.

The fifth clue involved Gillian describing herself as a night owl, possibly influencing her choice of an owl character on the show. Owl also said: "I’m a night owl, me... proper nocturnal."

The final piece of evidence pointed to her children having the last name Knights.

Gillian, 68, is best known for playing  Kathy Beale on EastEnders.

Just over a month ago, Gillian celebrated a massive milestone by recording her 1,000th episode on the soap.

Fans previously stated the character was Waterloo Road star Kym Marsh after linking Owl's school uniform costume with the BBC drama.

One person wrote: "I know there’s jokes about her doing this but genuinely think Kym Marsh could be Owl!"

Another said: "The whole school thing made me think of Waterloo Road and Kym instantly came to mind."

It's not the first time Kym, 47, has been linked to the show and she was previously forced to deny she was Harlequin on the 2021 series after being inundated with messages.

She wrote on Twitter at the time: "Everyone asking if I am on masked singer. No sorry. Guess again guys xx."
