While guesses are varied, some viewers think the celebrity behind the mask is actress Wendi Peters.
Fans have taken to social media to share their thoughts on who it could be.
One wrote: "Think this could be Wendi Peters. Thought it was Keala Settle until the "sister act" clue...I'm sure she's joining the cast of Sister act in the West End. Hope I'm right, she's an amazing actress & singer."
A second added: "Wendi Peters, she was in bake-off, she going into sister act, and in clues she had bling on her air fryer, Cilla in coronation street always wore sparkly outfits. Also, there was a star on the floor, she did stars in your eyes."

It comes following a string of clues in recent The Masked Singer episodes after the character belted out Ava Max's track, Kings and Queens.
The device previously said: "Dressed to impress, but these sparkles cost extra."
The character also performed with a star on the floor which could be a reference to when her Corrie character Cilla left for Last Vegas after coming into money following the death of Frank Nichols.
Additional clues point to her involvement in the West End tour of Sister Act, and the costume seen appearing from a kitchen, possibly referencing her stint in Bake Off.
