The Masked Singer is filmed months in advance but some audience members had been talking about him online.
Although they are expected to stay tight-lipped, a few could not resist hinting that Mole would appear in episode five.
The Masked Singer: Mole sparks mystery
Fans had already been swapping theories on Reddit about a brand new character joining the show.
Several posts mentioned this figure called Mole long before ITV made it official.
One viewer kicked off a thread asking: “Why do we only literally have 1 trailer with mole in!? It’s so secret! We need more info about mole please Masked Singer UK!”
Someone claiming inside knowledge replied: “It’s a secret for a reason, they will appear, but it’s meant to be a surprise! idk [I don’t know] when they appear but it be later on in the season.”
Another fan then asked: “If you’ve seen Mole live and the answer to this question doesn’t breach the NDAs, your help would be greatly appreciated.”
That plea was met with a blunt response: “I know what episode but not saying.”
Who is Mole in The Masked Singer?
Mole DID appear in episode 5 of The Masked Singer, which aired last Saturday night.
He was introduced as Mole Dommett, a playful nod to host Joel Dommett.
Joel told viewers the character was a “double agent”, teasing: “Word on the street is, we have a double agent in our midst!”
Throughout the show, Mole was shown sneaking extra clues into the contestants’ VT packages.
Joel confirmed at the end of the episode that Mole will be unmasked in the next instalment. It airs on Saturday January 31, 2026.
Fans have wasted no time sharing their guesses, with one name dominating the conversation.
Many viewers are convinced ITV presenter Stephen Mulhern – who hosts Catchphrase and Deal or No Deal – is behind the mask.
One Instagram user wrote: “Stephen Mulhern!” Another added: “Stephen Mulhern maybe?”
Not everyone agrees, however. One fan threw out a different idea, saying: “I think it’s a woman.”
Mole is set to be revealed tonight. Is the Stephen?!
