Who is Cricket on The Masked Singer?

Cricket has got everyone talking on The Masked Singer, as fans try to work out who is behind the mask.

His elaborate costume sees him dressed as a bug in a cricket uniform, which at first led fans to think he was a player.

Over the course of the weeks, Cricket has belted out some incredible tunes.

These include Of the Night by Bastille, How Deep Is Your Love by Calvin Harris & Disciples, plus Snap's Rhythm Is A Dancer.

What are the Cricket clues?

Over the weeks on The Masked Singer, Cricket has been dropping lots of clues as to they could be.

The main clues so far are:

Cricket was observed standing on a cricket pitch, surrounded by numbers, including 'total 60'.
A bottle of liquid with "2002" written on it.
"I like the fun content of The Masked Singer, I could be creative!"
"Hello there. Cricket's the name. Absolutely marvellous. And what a jolly good day for Cricket it is, too."
"I'm sure that you can spot that I'm a top cricketer, the best in the village."
"Crikey I don't want to sound all pompous, but my scores aren't just all about cricket. On the contrary, after some ins and outs...I became a rather big hitter."
"Whoops! I was in a league of my own. It was my calling. I went from playing the village green to playing arenas and winning awards."
Cricket ball smashing the screens, a microphone and a note that read "To Cricket Love from MB xx".
A sign that read: Next match: Haringey vs Herne Hill.
Two more clues were "fire breathing’ and ‘big top with the big mouse".

Who do the judges think Cricket could be?

The panel - Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan, Jonathan Ross, and Rita Ora - have been divided about Cricket's identity, and previously guessed it was Blue singer Simon Webbe.

However, over the weeks this has changed and they have homed in on another pop star.

Judges Mo, Olly Murs (who was judging in Rita's absence), and Jonathan believe Cricket is singer and Fame Academy star Lemar.

Previous guess from the judges were Marvin Humes, Seal, and Jay Blades.

Who do The Masked Singer fans think Cricket could be?

Flocking to online forums to share theories, fans of The Masked Singer have guessed that Cricket is in fact a former child-star turned TV presenter, Reggie Yates

One wrote: "I think it’s Reggie Yates they mentioned a mouse…he voiced Rastamouse."

Another guessed: "Another post above said Reggie Yates.

"I’m not convinced it’s Reggie as he was on Celebrity Fame Academy about 20 years ago and his voice wasn’t the best but crickets voice is quite decent."

Another simply stated: "Reggie Yates."

However, some fans also think Cricket could be boxer Anthony Joshua.

One fan pointed out the four signs it is him, revealing: “Anthony Joshua who loves cricket; his management team have ventured into professional cycling; he's pals with Dizzee Rascal; he's 6'5 and he can sing!”

Other viewers are convinced the green bug is Simon Webbe.

One wrote: "I'm not sure on the clues yet either but I compared the voices of Cricket's first performance and one of Simon's solo songs and they sound similar. His voice definitely reminds me of his high notes on All Rise."

This person replied: "Oh this is a good guess! I was thinking a sports star but now I can't un-hear Simon."

While another agreed and said: "I think Cricket is Simon Webbe from Blue. It sounded a lot like him and I do think Cricket is a singer based on the comments Rita said about his voice."

Other fans agree with the judges and also think Cricket is Lemar, after the mouse clue.
