The Masked Singer returned for a new series on January 3, with five new characters making their debut. On Saturday, January 24, the guessing continued as Joel Dommett introduced the remaining contestants, including the much-talked-about Toastie.
Before performing a cover of Benson Boone's 'Beautiful Things', Toastie offered clues, including a picture of Dressed Crab (revealed last series as Gregory Porter) and numerous kitchen references. The panel and viewers were tasked with deciphering the hints.
Judges Jonathan Ross, Perrie Edwards, Maya Jama, Mo Gilligan, and Davina McCall offered their guesses, ranging from Michelle Heaton to Beverly Knight, Alexandra Burke, Chaka Khan, and Marisha Wallace. However, fans online were convinced the panel had it wrong.
Many viewers took to social media to suggest that Toastie is actually Loose Women star Brenda Edwards. Comments included 'Yeh Toastie sounds like Brenda Edwards' and 'If toastie isn't Brenda thingymebob from Loose Women, then I'm bamboozled'. The consensus was strong, with one fan stating 'I'm 100% convinced toastie is Brenda Edwards'.
The episode featured a double unmasking, adding to the excitement. The Masked Singer airs Saturdays at 7pm on ITV and ITVX.
