Masked Singer fans claim Wolf is heavy metal legend from iconic UK band
THE Masked Singer viewers are convinced Wolf’s furry mask conceals the identity of a heavy metal star.
ITV fans reckon a hit vocalist is belting out tunes from behind the striking costume, after the character took to the stage to sing David Bowie hit Let’s Dance.
Wolf burst onto screen wearing a grey jacket, black knee high boots and a red waistcoat.
After reading a book of Fairy Tales, The Masked Singer character referenced “two sides to every story” and “take me as I am.”
They also dropped clues about a ship and being perceived as “big” or “bad”
Wolf’s riddle also added further mystery as they said: “As a wolf, I’ve held dominion over everything I see, wild woods, creek or cave, that’s my territory.”
The ITV panel attempted to pinpoint an identity, with Jonathan Ross taking three shots and guessing David Tennant, Jason Donovan, and Paul Weller, while Davina McCall chose Simon Le Bon.
Yet fans are now convinced it is an Iron Maiden rocker behind the Wolf’s eerie eyes – this being Bruce Dickinson.
The 66-year-old, who is the lead singer of the heavy metal group, has been tipped for the role by a slew of fans on X.
One wrote of the Fear Of The Dark hitmaker: “I think Wolf is Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden.”
Another wrote: “Wolf is Bruce Dickinson #TheMaskedSinger.”
One then insisted: “Wolf: Bruce Dickinson.”
The Trooper singer launched his first solo LP in 19 years in 2024.
He told The Sun: “This life might be the only one I’ve got so I’ve always grabbed it with both hands.
“Life can be annoying and frustrating at times but it’s better than the other option,” he decides. “So live it, squeeze it, have fun with it.”
Who has left The Masked Singer 2025 so far?
Much to the delight of telly fans, The Masked Singer is back in 2025.
Twelve celebrities have been hidden behind intricate costumes, with their identities concealed.
Sadly, not all of this year’s whacky and wonderful characters can make it to the end of the show, as there can only be one winner.
Here’s who has been unmasked so far:
Toad In The Hole – a massive diva strop saw the character storm off the stage after the judges voted them off. They later returned to be unmasked as singer Macy Gray
Pegasus – the mythical horse was revealed to be Prue Leith, with judge Jonathan Ross correctly guessing her identity
Spag Bol – this character was first to be unmasked and was none other than Good Morning Britain host Kate Garraway.
Plus there was one extra unmasking this season, with Giant Joel – a caricature of host Joel Dommett – unveiled as double-double Olympic champion Sir Mo Farah.
He is also an entrepreneur, airline pilot, champion fencer and cancer survivor.
