Masked Singer’s Pufferfish is ‘star of blockbuster movie musical’ claim fans after spotting big new clue

THE Masked Singer's Pufferfish is 'star of a blockbuster movie musical' claim fans after spotting a big new clue.

Saturday night saw the ITV show host a holiday special, with five characters taking to the stage to sing for a second time.

Pufferfish chose to sing Cindi Lauper smash hit Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and impressed the panel once again with her vocals.

After seeing her clues and hearing her voice, some Masked Singer viewers changed their mind on who they thought was behind the mask.

They were previously convinced that Pufferfish is pop megastar Katy Perry.

But now, a number of them believe it's actually a West End star who also had a role in hit Hollywood musical, Les Miserables.

Taking to X - formerly Twitter - one wrote: "Is Pufferfish Samantha Barks…?

"She worked with Nick Jonas in Les Miz (Year 3000) got married in Tuscany (loves the Italian coast) & did Tomorrow Morning with Anita Dobson - those are the main clues I can think of that lead to her."

Another added: "Oh the Angie Watts quoting has me thinking could it be Samantha Barks as she did a movie with Anita Dobson for Pufferfish."

A third tweeted: "Samantha Barks was in a film with Anita Dobson in 2022. That's where the Angie Watts clue comes from! Yeah I'm going to lock in Samantha Barks as Pufferfish."

Meanwhile a fourth shared: "Finally got Pufferfish - it’s Samantha Barks! She’s been in a film with Anita Dobson (Angie Watts) and another called Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart.

"The boots are the same as her colour on I’d Do Anything. A sensational performer."

Samantha, 34, first found fame on BBC talent show I'd Do Anything in 2008.

Since then, she has appeared in numerous West End shows including Frozen as well as originating the role of Vivian Ward in Pretty Woman: The Musical on Broadway.

She also starred alongside Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe in Les Misérables as Éponine.
