With the fifth season of The Masked Singer UK upon us, viewers have been eagerly trying to guess the identities behind the 12 costumes. Among them is Rat, and the clues so far have led to the suspicion that Mel C, Claire Sweeney, Ronni Ancona, and Shirley Manson could all be the celebrity masquerading as the character.
The Rat's clues package in the VT and the riddle they gave the panel include them wearing tartan and having a Scottish flag on their dungarees, having a Scouse accent, carrying a toolbelt, and the number plate having 'F4' on it which Jonathan said was the computer command for copying. Could they be an impersonator? There was also a clock shown on the VT and Rat referred to time and 'tick tock', suggesting they could be a social media star.
Ronni Ancona has been suggested as a potential Rat, as Jonathan was convinced their scouse accent was a fake and the computer command clue led him to believe the character was an impersonator. Ronni is best known for co-writing and starring in The Big Impression with Alistair McGowan and is an expert at impersonation, making her a good fit for the role.
Claire Sweeney is also a potential Rat, as many of the clues suggest they are involved in the DIY world, from their tool kit to the 'out of service' laundrette sign. Claire hosted the interior design show 60 Minute Makeover for a decade between 2004 and 2014, suggesting she could be the one behind the mask.
Shirley Manson has also been suggested as a potential Rat, as Davina suspected them to be a singer due to the allusions to cleaning and rubbish in the clues package, as well as their Scottish clothing. Shirley is the frontwoman of the band Garbage and a global popstar, making her a possible fit.
Finally, Mel C has also been suggested as a potential Rat by Mo, who honed in on the word 'kicks' and assumed the star under the costume was sporty. Mel C was part of the 90s megaband The Spice Girls and is known for her sporty nature, making her another potential Rat.
The Masked Singer continues on Saturday at 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX. Will Rat be unmasked? Tune in to find out!
