Masked Singer’s Maypole ‘revealed’ as huge US singer by eagle eyed fans – and she’s been on the show before
THE MASKED Singer’s Maypole has been ‘revealed’ as a huge US singer by eagle eyed fans.
ITV viewers are convinced the series five contestant is former Pussycat Dolls star Melody Thornton, 39.
If the rumours are true, it would mark the second time she’s competed on the show, having won Australia‘s version in 2022.
In a Reddit forum, users claimed the character’s clues relate to Melody – including one that she is a doll and another that she was born in ‘the year of Orwell’.
The pop star, whose birth year in 1984, wore a mirrored costume to compete as Mirrorball in the Aussie competition, which fans think links to a clue about winning a silver medal.
Many of Melody’s followers will know she played Cinderella at the New Wimbledon Theatre in South West London between 2019 and 2020.
So, they became even more convinced of their theory when Maypole made a hint about the South West.
An excited show viewer wrote, “I am a massive fan of TMS and I am sure I know who maypole is!!! MAYPOLE IS MELODY THORNTON!!
“Clues That Relate: Year Of Orwell- She was born in 1984 Doll- She was a member of the pussycat dolls Silver Medal- She was Mirrorball On Masked Singer AU- a completely silver costume TV Screens- She has done ITV shows before such as Dancing On Ice.
“South West- She played Cinderella in New Wimbledon Theatre- Which Is In South West London Ball- She Was MirrorBALL Also the voice matches!”
Over the weekend, Dionne Warwick was revealed as Weather.
The Walk On By star, 85, competing as Weather, was the first to get the boot in the series opener.
Producers of the ITV1 guessing game assumed she would stay on the programme as she sounded so good.
But after leaving the show, Dionne admitted: “They said I’d be here for this many weeks, and I said, ‘No I’m not. I can’t disguise my voice. The minute I open my mouth, I’m gone!’
“I have never been able to disguise my voice. That’s been my blessing and I never want to disguise it.
“So, the minute I opened my mouth, everybody sussed it out.”
