‘Of course ITV’s poster boy is in the final!’ Masked Singer fans cry fix as Conkers’ true identity ‘exposed’
Who is it?!The Masked Singer fans are convinced they’ve worked out the true identity of Conkers after last night’s show (Saturday, February 7).
Fans previously believed that Conkers was Barney Walsh. However, a new favourite has emerged.
The Masked Singer fans convinced of Conkers’ identity
Last night saw Conkers perform yet again, going up against Can of Worms, Sloth, Moth, and Toastie.
The masked star managed to book a place in the final with his renditions of JLS’ Everybody in Love, and Country House by Blur.
Now, fans are convinced they’ve worked out the star’s identity, and they think it’s none other than This Morning star Ben Shephard.
Fans took to X (Twitter) to share their theories.
Ben Shephard is Conkers?
“Conker is Ben Shephard yes?” one fan tweeted last night.
“I think Conker has reached his tipping point…,” another said, in a cheeky reference to Ben’s hit ITV show.
“I will be fuming if Conker isn’t Ben Shephard,” a third said.
“Ben Shepherd. Conker,” another simply wrote.
“Conkers is definitely Ben Shepherd, so of course the ITV poster boy has to be in the final ffs,” another said.
“If none of them guess Ben Shepherd after this then I will be shocked. It couldn’t be anyone else anymore,” a fifth wrote.
“So is all of itv morning presenters doing #maskedsingeruk now!!!” another tweeted.
Hints about Conkers
One of the clues that fans think is pointing to Ben being Conkers is about him having “cold feet”.
One fan believes that the “cold feet” hint is a link to Ben’s role as co-presenter of Dancing on Ice back in 2010. Others believe it’s down to Ben being a fan of cold water swimming.
Another hint is his continued hints at being a “knight”. Some fans believe the “royal” link is due to Ben discussing royal family new on This Morning.
Fans may remember that earlier in the series, Ben appeared as a guest judge. This normally would have ruled him out of being one of the Masked Singers. However, the week Ben appeared was the week Conkers wasn’t performing. Hmmm…
