One of ITV’s most popular programmes The Masked Singer has returned to our screens for the start of a new series and fans are already trying to work out the identities of the celebrities behind the masks.
Following the singing competition’s second episode tonight (Sunday, January 2), a number of viewers have already been sharing their best guesses on social media as to who are behind the masks.
But are they any closer to working it out than Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Rita Ora or Mo Gilligan?

Here’s a run down of the top guesses so far, expressed by fans and viewers following tonight’s episode.

Rockhopper’s lively performance tonight had viewers making all sorts of guesses, but a number of fans all had the same idea.
A number of viewers appear to be convinced that Rockhopper is voiced by Hollywood actress and Spiderman star Zendaya.
One viewer said: “Rockhopper has to be Zendaya #MaskedSinger ” Another added: “This sounds like Zendaya, surely not!? #MaskedSingerUK ”
Dozens more excited viewers had the same idea: “Bold guess. Rockhopper is Zendaya #MaskedSingerUK ”
A number of Twitter-users were quick to suggest the masked singer could be numerous members of the pop group The Pussycat Dolls.
“Rockhopper Ashley Roberts? #MaskedSinger,” one user said.
“I think Rockhopper is a Pussycat Doll. I just don’t know which one,” another added.
Panda

Viewers loved Panda’s cuddly performance, and a number seem to be conflicted as to who may be behind this furry mask.
One fan said: “panda is Rachel Riley :)) love the masked singer”
Another said: “I think panda is Susan Calman.”
A number of jokers suggested Bear Grylls may be behind the mask, while others weren’t convinced.
Others thought the panda costume may be a clue, suggesting wildlife presenter Michaela Strachan as a possible contender.
Poodle

When it came to Poodle’s performance, a number of fans were on the same page when it came to the singer’s identity.
“Fabulous and can sing, has to be John Barrowman,” one viewer said. Another added: “John Barrowman as poodle.”
Another Twitter-user seemed certain the Doctor Who and Torchwood star is behind the mask: “Poodle is John Barrowman – no doubt in my mind.”
Aside from John Barrowman, a number of other fans had different ideas about Poodle’s identity.
A number of viewers seemed to think Poodle could be TV presenter and comedian Paul O’Grady: “Poodle could be Paul O’Grady #MaskedSinger.”
Bagpipes

Bagpipes certainly had one of the more unusual costumes on tonight’s show, though fans were even more distracted by the singer’s accent.
A number of viewers suspected there may indeed be a Scottish singer behind the mask. “Bagpipes is Scottish could be Lewis Capaldi? #MaskedSinger,” one viewer said.
One viewer said: “David Tennant? Bagpipes #MaskedSinger ”
Someone else agreed: “I’m changing my mind and saying David Tennant for bagpipes #MaskedSinger ”
Despite this, a number of other viewers had questions and concerns about this.
One disgruntled viewer said: “Fake accent?? #MaskedSinger ”
Another added: “That accent is the most fake I’ve ever heard – no way is Bagpipes Scottish!”

Last but not least we have Traffic Cone, who gave an incredible performance of a Rick Astley song that had fans suspecting a double bluff.
“Traffic cone is a Double bluff. It’s Rick Astley,” one said.
“If it’s not Rick Askey I’ll be disappointed! #TheMaskedSingerUK,” another agreed.
Some viewers had a different theory: “Traffic cone is either Alexander Armstrong or Jason Manford. It’s someone northern the countryside gave it away”
