‘Sounds just like him’ say Masked Singer fans who claim Piranha is noughties pop star with very famous wife
FANS of The Masked Singer have been left convinced that a huge noughties singing sensation is behind the Piranha mask.
Viewers have taken to social media in their droves to air their suspicions around the true identity of who is underneath the costume and it seems fans have now settled on just who it could be.
Many have revealed their theory that pop singer Jamie Cullum is the man behind the mask after hearing the powerhouse vocals.
Jamie rose to fame in the early 2000s thanks to his jazz-pop crossover musical style.
It wasn’t until his third album, Twentysomething, that he hit the big time on the charts with the 2003 record going on to become the UK’s biggest selling jazz album in history.
Despite some theory that the man behind the mask is McFly singer Danny Jones, many viewers are now leaning toward Jamie as being the correct identity.
Panellist Rita Ora even gave her suggestion on the show that she thought Jamie could be the mystery celebrity and it appears that fans think she is on to something.
Taking to X – formerly Twitter – to have their say, one person wrote: “Piranha so sounds like Jamie Cullum.”
Another person echoed: “Piranha, I think, is either Paulo Nutini or Jamie Cullum on The Masked Singer.”
A third went on to write: “Jamie Cullum played at the festival of remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall one year, just saying #maskedsingeruk.”
A fourth The Masked Singer fan insisted: “Still think it’s Jamie Cullum from the first time I heard him sing.”
The star is married to model and author Sophie Dahl with the pair having tied the know in January 2010.
Sophie, the granddaughter of author Roald, is the mother to their two children Lyra and Margot.
Jamie’s last album, The Pianoman at Christmas, was released in 2020 and went to number 11 on the UK Albums Charts.
Last week, The Pussycat Dolls star Melody Thornton was unmasked as Maypole in the series’ first double elimination.
Long Last Family host Nicky Campbell was also revealed to be behind Dippy Egg when he shocked co-star Davina McCall as she was left on the verge of tears amid the surprise revelation.
