Taking to X, one guessed: “I definitely think Can of Worms is one of the JLS guys. I’m going with JB.”<\/p>\n

Someone else agreed: “I still think JB is Can of Worms, he likes gardening<\/a> and JLS has a song called One Shot #maskedsinger #maskedsingeruk.”<\/p>\n

While a third added: “Can of Worms.. does sound like Marvin from JLS #MaskedSinger.” Yet another fan quizzed: “Marvin Humes is that you hiding in the Can of Worms??? #maskedsinger #maskedsingeruk.”<\/p>\n

Both Marvin Humes<\/a> and JB Gill were named by the Masked Singer judges and viewers are on the same page. The duo rose to fame as part of the British pop boyband, alongside fellow vocalists Aston Merrygold and Orits\u00e9 Williams.<\/p>\n

The group’s chart-topping tunes include Everybody in Love and Beat Again.<\/p>\n
