The Masked Singer wriggles back onto ITV tonight (January 17), and Can of Worms is squirming onto the stage – but can viewers unearth who’s underneath the mask?
Fans – and bookies – reckon they might have dug up the answer.
All the clues so far
Can of Worms made a slippery debut in Week 1, performing Be Our Guest from Beauty and the Beast. His clue package hinted at green fingers, growing beautiful things, and even included a framed photo of James May and Richard Hammond.
“Here’s my patch, isn’t it rad? All of these beautiful things I’ve grown. As a worm, I have green fingers. It runs in the family, like it was written in the stars,” he said during the package.
After a rap-filled performance, Maya Jama gushed: “The character raps, and I was so impressed by the timing of all the rapping ability of a massive can of worms! They don’t miss a beat!”
Could Can of Worms be someone with rap skills? And do the rest of the wriggly clues point to Marvin Humes? Plenty of Masked Singer fans think so…
Could Marvin Humes be Can of Worms?
“Can of Worms has got to be Marvin Humes,” one fan declared. “Sounds like Marvin Humes,” agreed another. A third added: “He was green in JLS. May and Hammond picture = MH. Makes total sense.”
Clues explained
JLS fans will remember each band member had a signature colour. Marvin’s was green – hence the ‘green fingers’ clue. And that Top Gear photo? Fans reckon it points to his initials.
The ‘beautiful things’ clue could also refer to Marvin’s family life – he and wife Rochelle share three children, and with Rochelle in the public eye as a singer and TV presenter, the ‘running in the family’ hint fits perfectly. So you could say Can of Worms’ patch is looking very familiar indeed.
Ben Shephard ruled out
Some guessed Ben Shephard, likely because of a clue hinting at morning telly.
“Can of Worms – Ben Shephard,” one suggested.
But with Can of Worms performing this weekend and Ben joining the judging panel, it seems very unlikely. Our money is firmly on Marvin – and if we’re right, he’s definitely crawling to the top of the leaderboard.
