Who is Tattoo? It’s the question on all of our lips following the return of The Masked Singer UK.

Episode 1 saw Tattoo take to the stage to perform for Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Mo Gilligan, and newbie judge Maya Jama.

The stunning costume is heart-shaped and decorated with classic inkings such as roses, birds, and a ‘love’ banner.

After wowing with their first performance, Tattoo left everyone puzzled after dropping a series of mysterious clues.

With predictions thrown out such as an EastEnders legend and even a Spice Girl, who do you think is underneath the mask?

What clues are there for Tattoo’s identity?

Davina McCall believes EastEnders icon, aka Kat Slater, is behind the mask—Jessie Wallace.

This is due to two crowns that featured in the VT, one being for a King and one for a Queen.

Of course, this could be a nod to not only Kat’s status on Albert Square, but also that of her other half, Alfie Moon, played by Shane Richie.

‘You’ve got a bit of personality; you’re hot and fiery,’ Davina said, with Kat hardly famous for holding her tongue.

Guest judge Sir Mo Farah reckons the ‘Love’ written on Tattoo’s costume is a nod to Cheryl’s debut solo single, Fight For This Love.

She is also a big tattoo fan, with one of her most famous being a sprawling rose design across her bum and lower back.

Maya Jama reckons Tattoo is someone from her own TV show—Love Island.

Contestants on the ITV dating show are forever locking horns but can also showcase their mushy sides with potential partners.

Picking up on this, Maya suggested that the references to both a sweet and fiery side of Tattoo means Ekin-Su is behind the mask.

She won the 2022 series with boyfriend at the time, Davide Sanclimenti.

Emma Bunton

Dissecting Tattoo’s riddle, Jonathan Ross said that it could be a clue for the Spice Girls tune Viva Forever.

She is also a DJ on Heart Radio, and Tattoo’s costume is heart-shaped.

The Masked Singer continues tomorrow night on ITV1 and ITVX.
