ITV The Masked Singer's Tattoo's identity 'uncovered' by fans after 'lucky' clue

The Masked Singer fans have been piecing together the puzzle, convinced they've 'sussed out' the celebrity behind the Tattoo costume following a significant hint.

Tattoo's design draws inspiration from classic heart tattoos, featuring a feminine face atop and a body shaped like a heart, embellished with floral decorations.

A prominent ribbon emblazoned with "LOVE" and an arrow piercing the heart-shaped outfit add to its distinctive look. The cryptic clue provided was: "If you want a tattoo then you surely have heard, you can't beat a loved one with one special word."

As the enigmatic performer continues to wow with their singing prowess, numerous fans are speculating that the incognito singer could be the renowned Nelly Furtado.

A Reddit discussion presents a compelling argument for Tattoo being none other than Nelly Furtado, celebrated for her chart-topping single "Maneater."

One enthusiast remarked: "I think the framed photo of Natalie Appleton isn't a reference to a girlband, but actually is a clue to Tattoo being Canadian."

Another suggested: "The horseshoe, rabbits foot and four-leaf clover all symbolise luck. Nelly's newest album is called '7' which also represents luck. The Robin Hood hat could be a clue to her second album being called Folklore."

A fan speculated online: "I think there are references to the titles of songs on her newest album (I don't know when this was filmed, so maybe it doesn't work if it was filmed before the album was released)," and observed that Tattoo's bird costume could be a nod to Nelly's iconic tune I'm Like A Bird.

They continued by connecting the dots with Nelly's breakthrough hit Turn Off the Light, leading viewers to keenly anticipate whether The Masked Singer's Tattoo will confirm their suspicions.

Betway spokesperson Mike Reading commented: "The latest season of Masked Singer UK already promises to stir things up, after week one delivered the showstopping reveals of Dame Prue Leith, Kate Garraway, and even Sir Mo Farah as Giant Joel, in a twist to the show's usual format.
