Masked Singer Viewers Convinced Monkey Business Is Spice Girl Emma Bunton

The Masked Singer returned for its seventh series on Sunday night, and viewers are already convinced they have identified one of the new characters. Monkey Business made their debut performing 'Maneater' by Hall & Oates, with clues including the theme music from The Apprentice, suggesting they 'meant business.'

Judges Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Maya Jama and Mo Gilligan offered varied guesses: Cheryl Tweedy, Katherine Parkinson, Sara Davies and Baroness Karren Brady. However, fans on social media were quick to suggest it could be Emma Bunton, the Spice Girls star known as Baby Spice.

One viewer wrote on X: 'Monkey Business is either Avril Lavigne or Emma Bunton,' while another simply said: 'Monkey Business - Emma Bunton.' A third added: 'I think Monkey Business is Emma Bunton?'

The first episode saw The One Show's Alex Jones unmasked as Disc Jockey. She performed Chappell Roan's 'Pink Pony Club' and dedicated her time on the show to her children, saying: 'Teddy, Kit and Annie, this was for you. I hope that you've loved it.'

Other characters still in the competition include Gargoyle, Red Panda, Can of Worms, Moth, and Sloth. Monkey Business will perform again alongside Teabag, Toastie, Yak, Arctic Fox and Conkers in the next episode.
