The Masked Singer UK has come back with a bang, featuring a new batch of celebrities trying to hoodwink the judging panel.

Presented by Joel Dommett, the ITV reality series sees 12 stars, whose identities are concealed by extravagant costumes, take the stage and belt out a tune.

Jonathan Ross, Rita Ora, Mo Gilligan and Davina McCall must then attempt to guess which famous faces are hiding behind those outfits, with a performer being eliminated every week.

However, the foursome aren’t completely left in the dark as they are given clues about who the mystery singer is, rather than just relying on their voice alone.

With that in mind, what clues have been given about Jacket Potato – and who could they be…?

What clues have been given about Jacket Potato on The Masked Singer?

Said they were here to drop it like it’s a hot (potato) – a singer associated with funk or dancehall music?

They were dancing in a disco venue – could they be a renowned performer?

Reading a copy of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet – were they in a doomed romance or famed for writing?

Putting ‘weird names’ including Nosey Parker in a jar – do they have an unusual moniker?

‘Hey, it’s me, Jack. I’ve got quite the collection, so big, it’ll make you say, “woah”.’

Rita said their accent sounds American

Several names have been thrown into the mix as possible candidates for Jacket Potato, including…

Jack Whitehall

Jack Whitehall certainly has the performing credentials, having toured extensively as a stand-up and acted in shows including Bad Education.

The moniker Jacket Potato could also be a nod towards his first name, while the dancehall clues could be a play on his surname.
