The first singer to perform on the latest episode of the ITV programme was Monkey Business
The Masked Singer fans are claiming that they’ve ‘worked out’ a star’s identity as they slammed a clue that was ‘too obvious’ on the ITV singing competition.
Returning for its seventh season last week, the popular programme aired two episodes to kick off 2026. Singer Anne Marie donned a goldfish outfit to sing APT by Rosé and Bruno Mars before joining as a guest judge.
The first star sent home Alex Jones, with The One Show presenter turning out to be Disc Jockey. Episode two featured guest judge Matt Lucas singing as Emperor Penguin before rapper Professor Green revealed himself as Teabag.
Joining Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan and Maya Jama on the judging panel on Sunday night (January 10) was none other than cricket legend Freddie Flintoff. With the episode a ‘sports day special’, Freddie donned a cricket kit once again.
Kicking off the episode was Teabag, who’s video package included a picture of Lewis Hamilton and references to a throne. Following a stunning performance, the judges issued their verdicts.
Davina said: “I saw a picture of Lewis Hamilton. Did you see the picture of a cat on her shirt? Cat, Pussycat Dolls, Nicole Scherzinger.”
Mo noted: “One of the clues said ‘the honeymoon period is over’, there was a show about honeymoon periods and love.
“This is someone who has been on Love Island is now a presenter, one of their documentaries was called getting filthy rich. She lacks motorsport because we saw Lewis Hamilton. I think it’s Olivia Attwood.”
Presenter Joel Dommett then issued two clues, but as usual only one of them was true. Clue number one was: “Can those given the task of collecting in the cones give them back to Mr Horne.”
The second clue issued by Joel reads: “Today’s sports day has been a pit of washout. It feels like it’s the perfect time to play a bit of stuck in the mud.”
Speaking after their performance, Monkey Business teased: “Business is booming. Unfortunately, these guesses are not. Do I really look like a Pussycat doll Davina? I’m going to need some more bananas.”
Those watching the episode at home rushed to X, previously known as Twitter, to have their say on why they think Atomic Kitten’s Natasha Hamilton is Monkey Business as a result of the Lewis Hamilton picture.

@CrowdedScouser commented: “Monkey is def Natasha Hamilton. Sounds exactly like her and the pic of Lewis ‘Hamilton’ in the clues. #MaskedSingerUK.” @zoecoatesxo posted: “Monkey business- Natasha Hamilton? I really don’t think it’s a business woman, the business clues are just a play on her character. #maskedsingeruk.”
