The Masked Dancer has been entertaining and perplexing viewers in equal measure with fans desperately attempting to guess the true identities of this series’ line-up of characters.
12 celebrities are battling it out to be crowned dancing champion on the talent show, while judges Mo Gilligan, Oti Mabuse, Davina McCall and Jonathan Ross trying to rumble who they are.
Viewers have also been busy doing their own guesswork over the last few days, with suggestions varying from minor famous face to some A List stars.
But the truth will remain hidden until it’s time for each dancer to reveal who is behind the mask.
One of the stars bugging viewers has been the fancy-footed Frog.
The amphibian has some pretty impressive moves on the dancefloor, leaving the judges very impressed with their rhythm and complicated choreography.
But just who is lurking behind that shiny green head? We take a look at all the clues and theories to help you decide.

The clues:
So far the frog has given away links to the following:
- A Hollywood contract
- A diary room
- Being a great explorer
- “Making entertainment at school’
- Making a ‘big splash’
- Hailing from across ‘the pond’
- An American accent
- The colours red, blue and yellow
- Has ‘tales to tell’
The Celebs:
Emma Willis
The judges guessed that the Frog could be Big Brother host Emma Willis, after the dancer made reference to a ‘diary room’, which as viewers will remember was a key feature of the Elstree Compound.
However, it would mean Emma would be faking a very good American accent to take part, hiding her true Brummy tones.
Rebecca Adlington
Jonathan Ross speculated that former Olympian and I’m A Celebrity contestant Rebecca Adlington could be behind the Frog mask.
The chat show king came to the conclusion after noting the connection to water and the red and white on the dancer’s costume, which he suggested could be a link to the Team GB uniform.
Theresa May
One of the more left-field choices that have come up is the name of former Prime Minister Theresa May.
During the Frog’s VT a clip of fields was aired prompting the judges to think of May.
In an interview with Julie Etchingham in 2017, May said the ‘naughtiest’ thing she had done as a child was ‘run through fields of wheat.’
The remark was quickly adapted by meme lovers everywhere who had a field day (ahem) with the revelation.
Pamela Anderson
While the judges have had their say, one name that viewers have been busily speculating on social media is that of Baywatch star Pamela Anderson.
This is down to the ‘red and blue’ of the costume, which they could be a link to Pammy’s Baywatch roots and the fact she hails from the States.
“Thinking Frog might be Pamela Anderson (it’s quite possible I’ve lost the plot though),” guessed one.
“Frog is Pamela Anderson??” declared another.
The Masked Singer returns tonight on ITV at 9.30pm
