Meanwhile Davina suggested that Dressed Crab could be a Grammy winner, hence the Gregory Porter prediction, as he has been nominated for eight and won two.
Audiences at home are also on board with the guess, taking to X to declare that the American jazz musician certainly has the voice of Dressed Crab.
Stating that Gregory is ‘definitely’ behind the mask, viewers picked up on the fact that he used to be an American football player.
‘I think the Dressed Crab is Gregory Porter!’ Sarah posted on X.
‘Crab sounds so much like Gregory Porter,’ Nathaniel added.
The Masked Singer continues tomorrow at 6.30pm on ITV1.
