What are the Piranha clues?

  • "The motion (of being underwater) makes me a little sick"
  • A map highlighting Scotland, Ireland, and Wales.
  • Brazilian Portuguese English dictionary, a sketchbook, a guidebook to fish in the Amazon.
  • They were 'terrified' of the panel hearing them sing.
  • "Piranhas are hungry, piranhas do bite, but I’d rather munch popcorn on this special night."
  • "It’s pretty scary being underwater, other piranha’s snapping at you."
  • They had a connection to the Royal Albert Hall and also the Brit Awards.
  • "It must be a world record. The others ha-ha at this piranha. I've got to get myself into gear and show I'm a different...kettle of...fish. Whoa! What was that?"
  • A fortune teller with the words "puzzling" and mysterious".
  • A stop and go sign and a magpie.

Who do the judges think Piranha could be?

So far Piranha has left the judging panel baffled, but they have been enthralled by his performances.

The judges - Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan, Jonathan Ross, and Rita Ora - have made several unsuccessful guesses.

The names they have put forward are Jamie Cullum, Jordan Knight, and Sting.

Jonathan joked that it could be American actor Steven Seagal due to Piranha’s pronunciation of “Seagull”, but admitted he had no idea.

Rita said Piranha was one of the best vocalists they had on the show, and wondered if it was jazz-pop singer Jamie Cullum.

While Davina joked that her initial guess was Yvette Fielding, but wondered if it was US singer Jordan Knight from New Kids on the Block, and Mo thought it could be British singer Sting.

Who do The Masked Singer fans think Piranha is?

Most of The Masked Singer viewers think Piranha is Danny Jones from McFly.

They say he was "rumbled" thanks to clues about his wife being a former Miss England winner (the map without England on it), McFly's album Motion in the Ocean, and him singing a Michael Bolton song in reference to Danny being from Bolton.

The band have also both played the Royal Albert Hall and won a Brit Award, while the number 3000 in the VT could be in reference to McFly supporting Busted, who had a big hit with Year 3000.

Writing on social media, one fan said: "Piranha = Danny Jones from Mcfly (sounds like him and also does that Mcfly jump at the end!)"

Another tweeted: "Danny’s voice is easy to point out and I can hear his Bolton accent when piranha speaks."

Someone else wrote: "If Danny Jones isn’t Piranha, I’ll chuck all my McFly CDs away… you can’t deny that voice!"

And a fourth added: "I would know that voice anywhere!!"

However, earlier in the competition, fans were convinced Piranha was Zayn Malik.

One wrote: "I dunno why I hear Zayn Malik."
