Masked Singer fans convinced new character Mole Dommett is huge TV star after he makes debut
Who's behind the Mole?Masked Singer fans were treated to a big twist on the weekend after being introduced to Mole Dommett – and they think they know who it is.
Viewers of the ITV singing competition were finally shown the new character after weeks of speculation that something was afoot.
Mole’s name had been banded around after several studio audience members had spilled the beans.
The popular series is filmed in the autumn and those watching live are supposed to keep tight-lipped.
But the secret was too much for some to bear and they revealed Mole would be featured in episode 5 of the show.
The Masked Singer: Mole sparks mystery
Fans of The Masked Singer had revealed on Reddit that would be a new character called Mole on the show.
Kicking off a thread on the social forum Reddit, one Masked Singer viewer wrote: “Why do we only literally have 1 trailer with mole in!? It’s so secret! We need more info about mole please Masked Singer UK!”
The message was responded by someone claiming to be in the know.
They replied: “It’s a secret for a reason, they will appear, but it’s meant to be a surprise! idk [I don’t know] when they appear but it be later on in the season.”
Another person has since posted: “If you’ve seen Mole live and the answer to this question doesn’t breach the NDAs, your help would be greatly appreciated.”
Rather unhelpfully, someone else replied: “I know what episode but not saying.”
Who is Mole in The Masked Singer?
Mole did in fact make his debut in episode 5 of The Masked Singer on Saturday night.
He was introduced as Mole Dommett – a play on host Joel Dommett’s name – as a “double agent”. Joel said to viewers: “Word on the street is, we have a double agent in our midst!”
Mole was then seen sneaking viewers extra clues during each of the contestants’ VTs.
Joel confirmed at the end of the show that Mole would be unmasked in the next episode, which airs on Saturday January 31, 2026.
Fans are already convinced at who it might be – and one popular name keeps springing up. Viewers think ITV presenter Stephen Mulhern is underneath the mask.
Writing on Instagram, one fan said: “Stephen Mulhern!” Another added: “Stephen Mulhern maybe?”
But throwing a curve call, someone else suggested: “I think it’s a woman.”
