Yahoo Movies OLD The Masked Singer: Who is Sausage?
Since Sausage’s debut on The Masked Singer, viewers have been speculating about who the celebrity behind the mask is.
ITV’s hit reality series returned for its second season on Boxing Day, with a new cast of stars taking part in the wacky competition.
The Masked Singer sees celebrities dress up as different personas to perform in front of a live audience and a panel of judges who attempt to decipher their identities using a series of clues.
On the current series, celebrities such as Sophie Ellis-Bextor (Alien), Mel B (Seahorse) and Martine McCutcheon (Swan) have been unmasked and eliminated from the competition.
Although many contestants are yet to have their identities exposed, fans have been busy playing detective and voicing their suspicions on Twitter.
Following Sausage’s performance of Jennifer Holiday’s “And I Am Telling You”, fans were quick to suspect that the face behind the mask is Sheridan Smith.
“Sausage is Sheridan Smith, it has to be!” said one user. While another added: “Masked Singer Sausage is definitely @Sheridansmith1 I have her singing this exact song in my car!”
Many viewers have pointed out that one of the clues given about Sausage’s identity was a bag of crisps, linking the hint to Smith’s appearance in the British sitcom Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps.
Sausage’s song choice, a musical theatre hit, seemed to also confirm viewer suspicions given the singer’s history performing in West End musicals.
In January 30’s episode, Sausage referenced Blackpool in her VT – and, in 2020, Smith performed as Cilla Black in a Royal Variety Performance in the seaside town.
According to the bookies, Sheridan Smith is the most likely to be Sausage with odds of 1/2. Rebecca Ferguson has odds of 5/1 and Stacey Solomon odds of 6/1.
