Clues Point to Soap Star
Fans of The Masked Singer are buzzing with excitement as they believe the identity of the Owl to be an iconic star from the popular British soap EastEnders. During the latest episode, the Owl wowed the audience with their rendition of S Club 7's hit song "Don't Stop Movin'".
Gillian Taylforth: The Top Contender
Many viewers are convinced that Gillian Taylforth, known for her role as Kathy Beale on EastEnders, is the celebrity behind the Owl mask. One fan even listed six clues that strongly suggest her involvement.
Clue by Clue Analysis
The first clue that caught fans' attention was the number 1955, which appeared in the background during the performance. This corresponds to the year of Gillian's birth.
Subsequent clues included references to Gillian's acting roles in Football Wives, Sink or Swim, and Lost in France, cleverly incorporated by the masked singer.
The fifth clue came from the Owl itself, stating, "I'm a night owl, me… proper nocturnal." This aligns with Gillian's description of herself as a night owl.
The final piece of evidence pointed to Gillian's children having the last name Knights, which matches the name mentioned by Owl.
Could it be Kym Marsh?
While many are convinced that Gillian Taylforth is the Owl, some fans previously speculated that the masked celebrity could be Kym Marsh, known for her role in Waterloo Road. The school uniform costume worn by the Owl reminded viewers of the popular BBC drama.
However, Kym Marsh has denied her involvement in The Masked Singer, leaving fans now more inclined to believe that Gillian Taylforth is the quintessential EastEnders icon behind the mask.
Unveiling the Truth
As the excitement builds, fans eagerly await the unveiling of the Owl on The Masked Singer. Will it indeed be Gillian Taylforth, the beloved soap star who recently celebrated her 1,000th episode on EastEnders? Only time will tell.
