Who is The Masked Singer's Toastie? Emmerdale and I'm A Celeb's Lisa Riley speaks out amid rumours
The soap star has reacted to claims she is the singerThe Masked Singer fans are desperately trying to work out who Toastie is – and some think they have cracked it.
The toasted cheese sandwich treated viewers of the wacky ITV singing contest to another dazzling performance on Saturday night.
And fans are now pointing the finger after hearing the obviously female voice belt out Whitney Houston’s Run to You.
Viewers are suggesting Lisa Riley is the secret singer hiding behind Toastie’s mask.
The Emmerdale icon is fresh from the most recent series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!.
She starred in the jungle alongside the likes of Ruby Wax, Jack Osbourne and winner Angry Ginge.
And now fans think she has hopped straight from the jungle and into the giant Toastie costume.
But is it Lisa behind the mask?
Who is The Masked Singer’s Toastie?
Lisa has now reacted to claims that she is The Masked Singer’s Toastie.
The actress spoke out after being flooded by comments from fans that put her in the frame for being the cute edible character.
But Lisa wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “So so so sorry but no I’m not the Toastie on @MaskedSingerUK.”
Replying, one follower told Lisa: “You have a better voice.” Another added: “You’ve been a lot of things over the years but I never thought I’d see the day that I’d read that sentence!”
And a third joked: “Are you Conker then?!”
With Lisa ruled out, the hot favourite to be behind Toastie’s mask is actually a Loose Women star. Plenty of fans have thrown Brenda Edwards’ name into the ring.
Brenda found fame on The X Factor and has multiple West End musical credits to her name.
She has been branded a “powerhouse” on multiple occasions. It’s fair to say Toastie is definitely one of those too!
One convinced fan said: “My guess for Toastie is Brenda Edwards.” Another added: “Calling it now, Toastie is Brenda Edwards.”
The Masked Singer: Who was unmasked?
Another contestant was unmasked on Saturday night. Episode 3 saw Toastie perform alongside Conker, Arctic Fox, Yak and Monkey Business.
It was a Sports Day-themed show and judges Mo Gilligan, Davina McCall, Maya Jama and Jonathan Ross were joined on the panel by guest judge, cricket legend Freddie Flintoff.
Once all the acts had sung, the audience cast their votes. As a result, the two characters in the sing-off were Monkey Business and Yak.
Both characters performed again before the judges made their decision. They chose to send Yak home and keep Monkey Business in the competition.
Yak was unmasked as 80s punk star John Lydon, aka the Sex Pistols’ Johnny Rotten. Jonathan had correctly guessed it was him.
This weekend, it will be the turn of Can of Worms, Moth, Red Panda, Sloth and Gargoyle to take to the stage.
Tune in on Saturday January 17, 2026, to catch their second performances. The show starts at 7pm on ITV1, with an end time of 8.30pm.
Looking forward to it already!
