THE Masked Singer fans are convinced the cheery Conkers costume is hiding a Britain’s Got Talent winner.
Viewers of the ITV series have come up with a compelling theory based on six key clues which they think pins the character’s identity to the reality TV show alum.
Previously, The Masked Singer regulars have suggested ex Hollyoaks actor, Joe Tracini, is covered by the green spiked outfit.
Others reckon Coronation Street star Sam Aston is a name in the frame.
Though now, after a slew of teasing hints, many think Diversity dancer Perri Kiely, 30, is the leading name in the frame.
Perri rose to fame for winning Britain’s Got Talent with his beloved dance troupe back in May 2009.

In the opening VT, Conkers was seen in a castle holding a book titled ‘Sam’s Tavern Songs for a Knightly Knees-Up’ and later holding a painting of Abz Love from Five.
They went on to reveal that Conker is “no stranger to secrets, scandals and shock reveals”.
“This Conker has played many parts but I’m not looking for credit,” came another clue.
Conkers then finished by belting the 1992 hit Jump Around by House of Pain.
Now one viewer reckons they’ve realised the riddle and took to Reddit to exclaim: “Omgggg I know who Conkers is…”
They went on to flag the six killer clues that revealed Perri is actually behind Conkers
“Shown the stars above his head last night – he was on Stars at your Service,” wrote one Reddit user.
“Mentioned Cold Feet – he was on Dancing on Ice,” they added.
“Heart – he appeared on Celebs Go Dating.
“Letter from J – he works with Jordan Banjo on Kiss FM.
“Cookbook – was on GBBO Stand up to Cancer.
“Trip – he was on Celebrity Antiques Road Trip
“Splash – he was on Splash”.
After the extensive de brief, another user wrote: “I LOVE THIS GUESS”.
A second put: “Yeah I commented Perri during yesterday’s show, he’s been on my radar for a while mainly because of the Splash clue, but who knows at this point, could be anyone”.
While Perri’s name is in the frame, others have previously suggested the character is Friday Night Dinner star Tom Rosenthal, 39.
Viewers will have to wait until Saturday’s episode to see if Perri is Conkers, or if another star is behind the mask.
