Mo Gilligan and ITV viewers convinced mega-star is the hidden talent

As The Masked Singer unfolds its mystery, comedian and judge Mo Gilligan has thrown his hat into the ring, speculating that the enigmatic Maypole is none other than chart-topping sensation Rita Ora. Despite Joel Dommett’s announcement that Rita was in America during the show’s filming, Mo remains unwavering in his conviction that the singer lurks behind the captivating Maypole costume.

Mo Gilligan, visibly impressed by Maypole’s smooth rendition of Emilie Sandé’s “Clown,” expressed certainty in recognizing Rita Ora’s distinct voice. “Why is she not here, because she’s here?” exclaimed Mo, sparking a wave of agreement among fans.

Viewers flooded the X platform (formerly Twitter), echoing Mo’s sentiment and suggesting that Maypole’s vocal clues point straight to Rita Ora. Speculations range from recognizing Ora’s voice to dissecting cryptic clues like the ‘return to sender’ reference.

Fans took to social media, with one asserting, “Absolutely convinced Maypole is Rita Ora.” Another speculated, “Maypole could be Nadine Coyle… But until we see them on the same show together, I’m still saying it’s Rita Ora.” A third viewer added, “Maypole has Rita Ora’s voice, and that would explain the ‘return to sender’ clue.”

The mystery deepens as more ITV viewers join the speculation, with many aligning themselves with the theory that the Hot Right Now singer is the hidden talent behind Maypole. As the guessing game continues, the anticipation builds for the grand reveal, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the moment Maypole sheds its disguise, potentially unveiling the renowned Rita Ora.
