Fans watching the latest episode of The Masked Singer were certain they had rumbled who Can of Worms is.
The mystery celebrity shielding their identity took to the stage in the costume once more on Saturday night. New clues included gardening clues, a book about birds, not always performing and the colour green.
Recent guesses from fans about who it could be included singers Olly Murs, Mark Owen and Marvin Humes. As the latest performance came to an end on Saturday, the panel once again guessed who was singing in front of them.
The viewers watching at home also began guessing and the same name kept being shared on social media. JLS singer Marvin Humes was guessed as Can Of Worms by viewers, with fans certain The X Factor and I’m A Celebrity star was shown performing.

Taking to X, one viewer commented: “Is Marvin from JLS can of worms?!!” Another fan said: “I swear i’ve just heard Marvin Humes voice.” Viewers noted the plenty of green links could be a hint at Marvin’s merchandise colour from the band’s early days.
A third viewer posted: “Can of worms is definitely Marvin from JLS.” Meanwhile a fourth fan guessed: “After that little bit I’m getting Marvin Humes for can of worms.”
The theory kept being shared with one fan saying: “I think Marvin Humes is definitely the can of worms.” Another added: “Can of worms has to be marvin humes,” as a further post said: “Ok I’m saying Marvin is can of worms.”
It comes after Yak was revealed as Sex Pistols star John Lyndon in the latest unmasking last weekend. The show’s latest star took fans by surprise – with many failing to guess that it was the rock legend underneath that crooning cow.
“Nope didn’t get that lol #themaskedsinger,” one wrote on X. Another tweeted: “Would never have guessed him…” A third wrote: “Never in my life did I think I’d see Johnny Rotten singing an Olivia Newton-John song.”

The Sex Pistol singer didn’t hold back in his exit interview for the show, saying that it was “hardly” the highlight of his career. When asked whether being on the show would be a career highlight for him, he laughed: “I hardly think so. For me, I hope the fun comes across.
“Rather than going up there and doing sing along and guessing who I am straight away, I thought, show the other side of me. An absolute funstar. I’m the court jester by nature. It’s just the way it is.”
As for whether he was sad to go, he said: “Certainly not. I think it’s been a privilege for you to have me.”
