MASKED Singer fans believe Lenny Henry is The Blob – revealing a record of five “killer” clues that appear to confirm he’s in the original costume.
Viewers, who have been compiling clues for weeks, were astonished on Saturday when the character appeared singing about hotels.
Lenny, 62, promotes Premier Inn in TV commercials – and the Blob is even colored in the hotel giant’s purple and white colors.
This follows some very heavy clues involving a school, with many pointing to the comic book and actor playing “super-head” Ian George in Hope & Glory on TV, which was set on a troubled file.
But maybe the two biggest clues were harder to spot – with an eagle-eyed fan pointing out the word “WAISTS” in kids’ fridge magnets in one scene.
As they pointed out, it’s an anagram of TISWAS, the legendary ’70s and’ 80s kids’ show that he faced with Chris Tarrant.
Another ran with the clue that Blob was named after their doctor, tweeting that Lenny was admitted during an appearance on Louis Theroux’s podcast, which is exactly what happened to him.
Lenny is actually officially called Lenworth and was named after a Dr Lenworth when he was born in Dudley, Worcestershire, in the late 1950s.
One of them tweeted, “One of the clues last week was that he was named after a doctor. Check out his Wiki, front line, named after the doctor who issued it. “
Another wrote: “Lenny Henry is Blob and he just sang about a hotel, isn’t that obvious enough to them… he advertised Premier Inn. Come on. He also hosted Tiswas – a children’s show. “
Comedian Romesh Ranganathan and Pointless star Richard Osman are other celebrities vying to be unmasked as The Blob.
Elsewhere, fans are convinced Stacey Solomon is The Sausage after a huge song clue appeared in the most recent episode.
His fiancee, Joe Swash, was briefly suggested as the celebrity behind The Blob, before being passed in the running.
