Who is Snail on The Masked Singer 2025? Latest clues and fan theories
Fans are convinced that a Netflix star is hiding behind the mask
FANS of The Masked Singer are convinced they’ve already rumbled the identity of Snail.
From the latest fan theories to who viewers believe is hiding behind the mask? Here’s everything you need to know.
Who is Snail on The Masked Singer 2025?
Snail has got everyone guessing – including the panel of judges.
In the first episode of the 2025 series, judges Mo Gilligan, Davina McCall, Maya Jama, and Jonathan Ross were joined by Sir Mo Farah in the guessing game.
They were all wowed by Snail, who took to the stage to sing Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter, with a garden-themed performance.
Her VT also had a Bridgerton-style feel as the narrative started with the words: ”Dearest gentle Masked Singer viewers…”
What are the clues?
The clues for Snail so far include:
- A baby doll in a basket
- A pin that read “welcome home”
- A tie and boater hat
- Two rings
- Book about chivalry and etiquette
- ”Dearest gentle Masked Singer viewers…”
- “You find me a trifle disguised”
- ”Are you wondering what scandalous secrets I might reveal?”
- A cross-stitch bearing the phrase “Je t’aime,”
Snail also shared a riddle that read: ”I can look rather fancy here standing in lace, but sometimes in my mind, it can be up in space.”
Who do the Masked Singer judges think Snail could be?
After hearing Snail’s set of clues, Davina believed that presenter Emma Willis was wearing the colourful costume and Jonathan guessed his favourite person, Dame Mary Berry.
Elsewhere on the panel, judge Mo predicted Emma Bunton and Love Island star Amber Davies.
Meanwhile, newest recruit Maya guessed BBC Royal Correspondent Jennie Bond.
Meanwhile guest judge Farah reckoned the famous voice could belong to Spice Girl, Emma Bunton.
Who do The Masked Singer fans think Snail is?
After welcoming The Masked Singer back to screens, viewers of the hit ITV show believe they might have “worked out” the identity of Snail.
Writing on X, fans speculated that the singer was in fact Girls Aloud star Cheryl – with the clues pointing towards her cameo in St Trinian’s.
Discussing their latest theories, one viewer said: ”Snail’s voice sounds like Cheryl but it can’t be??!!,” and a second wrote: ”Snail is Cheryl Cole – St Trinian’s (Girls Aloud did music video) and she said Toon not tune.”
This wouldn’t be the first time a member of the girl group has starred on the show, as Nicola Roberts won the first ever series as Queen Bee.
Following Nicola’s win, stars including Danny Jones, Charlie Simpson and Joss Stone have been crowned champions of the singing show.
But now loyal telly show regulars reckon Kathryn Drysdale, who found fame in BBC sitcom Two Pints of Lager and a Packet Of Crisps is inside the shell.
One took to Reddit to muse: “I think snail is Kathryn Drysdale. She’s in Bridgerton. She was in St Trinians and in Bridgerton, her character pretends to be French.”
Earlier in the episode, Snail said “I love you,” in French.
Another fan put: “She sang in an episode of horrible histories too. Might need to compare the voices because that’s a good shout!”
One added: “Royal events clue – I think royal variety…”
Kathryn has played Genevieve Delacroix a seamstress in Bridgerton since the first series.
Other notable names fans have thrown into the mix include Bridgerton and Derry Girls star Nicola Coughlan, and former Doctor Who, Jodie Whittaker.
Who has left The Masked Singer 2025 so far?
Much to the delight of telly fans, The Masked Singer is back in 2025.
Twelve celebrities have been hidden behind intricate costumes, with their identities concealed.
Sadly, not all of this year’s whacky and wonderful characters can make it to the end of the show, as there can only be one winner.
Here’s who has been unmasked so far:
Tattoo – despite Davina McCall saying “you sound the same” after this character was unmasked, none of the judges guessed it was 80s singer Carol Decker, whose hit China In Your Hand was a No1 hit for five weeks
Toad In The Hole – a massive diva strop saw the character storm off the stage after the judges voted them off. They later returned to be unmasked as singer Macy Gray
Pegasus – the mythical horse was revealed to be Prue Leith, with judge Jonathan Ross correctly guessing her identity
Spag Bol – this character was first to be unmasked and was none other than Good Morning Britain host Kate Garraway.
Plus there was one extra unmasking this season, with Giant Joel – a caricature of host Joel Dommett – unveiled as double-double Olympic champion Sir Mo Farah.
