‘You heard it here first’ say Masked Singer fans who are convinced that Eiffel Tower is an EastEnders star
FANS of The Masked Singer are convinced they’ve unmasked Eiffel Tower – and think she is an soap star.
The ITV singing show revealed six more contestants over the weekend and viewers have been scrambling to figure out who they are.
Some people have theorised that the celeb behind the costume is none other than Vicki Michelle.
The 72-year-old actress made her EastEnders debut last year as Jo Cotton, the long-lost wife of Brian Conley’s Rocky.
One of her long time catchphrases is ‘allo ‘allo – which viewers think sounds similar to the Eiffel Tower’s opening phrase, ooo lala.
The costumed figure also stood in front of the Old Vic in London at one point while presenting her clues, which could be an allusion to the Queen Vic in EastEnders.
People took to social media with their theories, with one saying: “Why has no one said Vicky Michelle as Eiffel Tower on Masked Singer UK – you heard it here first!”
Another agreed: “Eiffel tower – Vicki Michelle.”
A third speculated: “I am gonna choose my guess – Vicki Michelle Eiffel Tower! Clue is Allo Allo and it is set in Paris.”
Others think the landmark is covering up 80s pop singer Tiffany.
Taking to Reddit to highlight the many clues, one fan picked up on a newspaper being seen in the clue package before their performance.
It read “TJ & S” which one fan interpreted as to refer to Tommy James and the Shondells who originally recorded Tiffany’s biggest hit, I Think We’re Alone Now.
Elsewhere, Eiffel Tower could be seen posing on the famous Abbey Road crossing mostly associated with Liverpool rockers, The Beatles.
Tiffany had a link to The Beatles after she performed a cover version of their hit, I Saw Her Standing There.
Moreover, connections to Tiffany arose as a result of a reference to a python in her clue VT.
A dedicated fan of the star went on to point out that Tiffany had turned her hand to acting and appeared in a movie titled Mega Python vs Gataroid.
