The Masked Singer is back tonight – and for the first time all the remaining characters in the competition will all be performing.
Joel Dommett will be back to host proceedings as the celebrity panel – Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Mo Gilligan and Maya Jama – and viewers at home try their best to crack the identities of the celebs inside the wacky costumes from their voice and a few puzzling clues.
Conkers is set to give their third performance tonight, having already given us their renditions of Nice To Meet You by Myles Smith and Jump Around by House of Pain.

Clues so far for Conkers have included:
If you’re looking for a “Knight” to remember, you’ve come to the right placeI’ve shown this Conker, is up for any challenge, even if I’d rather hide in my shellIt doesn’t take much to put a fright in this Knight, although ghosts don’t scare meI’m a Knight of Passion for Feasting, Fighting and F- Facing my Fears, of which there’s rather a lot.I’m no stranger to Secret, Scandals and Shock RevealsThis Conker has played many parts, but I’m not looking for credit
Viewers are convinced it is Good Morning Britain and Tipping Point host Ben Shephard inside the Conkers costume, despite his appearance on The Masked Singer last weekend.

He joined the celebrity panel to share his guesses – but notably Conkers wasn’t performing on the show and viewers are convinced it was the ‘ultimate deception’ by show bosses.
Ben is definitely not afraid of ghosts, having presented the show Mystery Map where he investigated haunted locations like the Guy Fawkes Inn. He’s also no stranger to secrets, scandals and shock reveals working on This Morning and he even had a run-in with conkers on the ITV show.
The resurfaced TV clip appears to have thrown further suspicion on the TV presenter.
Last year, while presenting from the studio, Ben and co-host Cat Deeley linked to Craig Doyle in the This Morning forest for a segment about using conkers as a cleaning hack.

But the section quickly went awry as they lost the feed, with Ben conceding: “It’s all fallen apart, you rub a couple of conkers together and that’s what happens.”
Fans are convinved that producers were pulling the ‘ultimate deception’ having the star as a guest on the show to put them off the scent.
One wrote on X: “Still say Ben Shepherd is conkers despite his appearance tonight #maskedsingeruk.”
A second said “Now we can truly ask ourselves the question, Is Ben Shephard “not” Conkers, or is he playing the ultimate deception in Masked Singer history Is he on the panel tonight and back “singing” next week and everyone is completely unaware? “
“Absolutely think that if Conkers is @benshephard , having him as a guest judge this week is GENIUS…!” a third added.
