One wrote: "#MaskedSingerUK Traffic Cone - you wouldn't let Michael Barrymore back would you???"

Another said: "#MaskedSingerUK Michael Barrymore is Traffic Cone."

And, referring to the moment a performer on the show is unmasked, a third fumed: "If it is him I hope the chant is 'get him off' not 'take it off'."

Once one of the UK's top TV presenters, The Strike It Lucky frontman was axed by ITV after the tragic death of Stuart Lubbock in the swimming pool of the star's Essex home.

The body of Lubbock, 31, was found face-down in the swimming pool on March 31, 2001.

A post-mortem found he had suffered severe internal injuries that suggested he was sexually assaulted.

Lubbock, a dad-of-two from Harlow, and others had been enjoying an all-night party at the star's then mansion in Roydon, Essex.

Barrymore had invited the meat factory supervisor back to his home for a private party after meeting him at the Millennium Nightclub.

Lubbock's death is still an unsolved murder investigation.

A £20,000 reward was put up for information, ahead of a Channel 4 documentary, Barrymore: The Body In The Pool, which aired on Thursday, February 6, 2020.

The Sun doubled the reward to £40,000 in a bid to "get to the truth".

Michael, 69, had hoped to make his TV comeback in 2020 when he signed up for Dancing on Ice.

But he was forced to pull out due to a broken hand.

The injury happened when he fell in training, shattering a bone in his hand.

A  source said: "It's a real shame for Michael as he was hoping this would be his big comeback, but after his injury there is no way he could continue."
