Fans have been left confused by tonight’s episode of The Masked Singer as the show appears to have taken on a spooky theme. Despite it being January, producers have opted for theme that seems more fitting for Halloween.<\/p>\n

Tonight\u2019s episode, the fourth of season seven<\/a>, saw fans greeted with a \u201cSpooktacular\u201d theme. Host Joel Dommett<\/a> took to the stage Wednesday Addams-style outfit while judges Maya Jama, Davina McCall<\/a>, Mo Gilligan and Jonathan Ross also dressed in a spooky theme. Guest judge, Ben Shephard, also took on the spooky theme, dressed as scarecrow.<\/p>\n

Introducing the show Joel joked that the show was being held in “January, or Janu-scary as it will henceforth be known”. Maya Jama wore a Medusa-inspired outfit with snake-themed elements.<\/p>\n

Davina McCall appeared in a cobweb-adorned look, adding to the eerie vibe. Mo Gilligan<\/a> was dressed in a werewolf-style costume while Jonathan Ross appeared with green face paint and a silver suit.<\/p>\n

Fans have been baffled by the theme, taking to X to share their confusion. One person posted: “I do not understand having a Halloween theme in JANUARY.”<\/p>\n

Another said: “I don’t get it why is the #maskedsingeruk doing a sort of Halloween theme tonight.” Fans watching at home also took to X to speculate on who Can of Worms is.<\/p>\n

Guesses on social media<\/a> have seen the same name arise with many pointing to JLS singer Marvin Humes.<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

A third viewer posted: “Can of worms is definitely Marvin from JLS.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile a fourth fan guessed: “After that little bit I\u2019m getting Marvin Humes for can of worms.”<\/p>\n

The Masked Singer UK airs Saturdays at 7PM on ITV1 and ITVX.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The theme was an odd choice for January Joel Dommett on tonight’s episode dressed as Wednesday Addams (Image:…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":377010,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[96,126574,391,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-377009","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-the-masked-singer","tag-tv","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377009","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=377009"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377009\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/377010"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=377009"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=377009"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=377009"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
