The Masked Singer: Robin’s identity is teased as clues are given
Seven celebs are still in the run to keep their identity hidden on ITV’s The Masked Singer. Badger, Robin, Sausage, Blob, Harlequin, Viking and Dragon will perform tonight for the judges. Fans are hoping to receive some new clues to help them identify who is behind each costume. But there is one act viewers seem to have figured out already: Robin.
From their very first performance in week one, there have been all sorts of rumours surrounding Robin’s identity.
Olly Murs and Joe Swash have been amongst the names that have been circulating online as viewers share their guesses.
However recently fans seem to have landed on that of Aston Merrygold, with a slip-up by presenter Joel Dommett seeming to have confirmed it.
In the run-up to the show airing, Joel said he thought he guessed Robin’s identity.

“I really enjoyed interacting with Robin,” he said.
He also revealed that “I felt like I knew who it was…and maybe I did. You’ll have to wait and see”.
“Interestingly, last year I really thought I knew one of them and it turned out not to be them,” added the presenter.
Joel and Aston definitely know each other as they appeared together on the same episode of Celebrity Supermarket Sweep last year.
Aston is best known for being a member of the boy-band JLS, who were runners-up to Alexandra Burke in the fifth series of The X Factor in 2008.
Aston has since made a name for himself as a television personality and judge on the Sky 1 dance talent show Got to Dance.
The singer also competed on Strictly in 2017, going on to win the Christmas special the following year.
There he danced to Can’t Stop The Feeling by Justin Timberlake, the same song that Robin sang in week one and got him a win.

One fan on Twitter who noticed the connection said: “Catching up on #themaskedsinger and no one can tell me the Robin isn’t Aston Merrygold AND on strictly he danced to ‘can’t stop the feeling’ and that’s a fat hint in itself.”
“Robin is deffo @AstonMerrygold !!! #MASKEDSINGER” said another one.
A third added: “Robin from #maskedsinger is 100% @AstonMerrygold”
While a fourth person commented: “Oh hang on… Flying Without Wings? JLS sang that song with Westlife on The X Factor. I think Aston is too short though… #TheMaskedSinger.”
Some of the hints given out by Robin were relating to football, which some fans interpreted as a red herring but they could in fact also be pointing towards Aston.
While in secondary school, the singer and dancer played football on behalf of England in the European Youth Games.
To unveil who is underneath the Robin mask, fans will have to wait and see if they are unmasked this weekend.
The Masked Singer airs tonight on ITV at 7pm.
