Viewers of ITV's hit show The Masked Singer are buzzing with a major theory, claiming to have identified the celebrity hiding inside the new Teabag costume as none other than royal family member Mike Tindall.
Royal Rumble on the Masked Singer Stage
The popular singing competition, where disguised celebrities perform for a panel of detectives, launched its seventh season on Saturday, January 3, 2026. The latest episode, which aired on Sunday, January 4, introduced a fresh batch of mysterious characters including Conkers, Arctic Fox, Monkey Business, Teabag, Toastie, and Yak.
Panellists Maya Jama, Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, and Mo Gilligan were left guessing as usual. However, the audience at home quickly formed a strong suspicion about Teabag's true identity after his rendition of Deep Blue Something's classic 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'.
Social Media Abuzz with Tindall Theory
Fans took to social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to share their conviction that the voice and clues pointed squarely at Mike Tindall, the former England rugby union player married to the Queen's granddaughter, Zara Tindall (née Phillips).
One viewer wrote: "Teabag: I know this may sound wild, but could it be Mike Tindall (Rugby player, and married to Zara Phillips)." The theory gained immediate traction, with others replying in agreement. "My husband said the same," one user confirmed, while another stated, "Teabag... I think that's Mike Tindall's voice!"
More Mysteries and a Big Reveal
The new series has added an extra layer of intrigue with the introduction of The Masked Singer Band, featuring a well-known star as the lead singer of the Antarctic Funkeys. That singer, Emperor Penguin, was dramatically unmasked during the same episode to reveal comedy legend Matt Lucas of Little Britain fame.
As the speculation around Teabag and the other characters intensifies, fans are eagerly awaiting the next episode for more clues and eventual reveals. The Masked Singer UK is available to stream on ITVX.
