THE MASKED Singer panelist Maya Jama is convinced Wolf is a huge boyband star – but is she right?
The Love Island host, 30, puts forward her theory on Saturday night after weeks of leaving the panel stumped.

In a preview clip ahead of the next episode, Maya is hedging her bets that Wolf is none other than Westlife singer Kian Egan.
ITV viewers will be given another set of clues to help guess the masked celebrities identity.
One of those clues includes an egg sandwich.
Maya explained her reasoning behind picking the Irish pop star, saying: “The egg sandwich came up and I was like ‘who from Westlife has a connection an an egg sandwich?
“Who loves eggy sandwiches from Westlife?
“Well… Kian Egan,” pointing out the world play with the star’s surname.
Kian, 44, is an Irish pop singer, songwriter, and musician and best know for being a member of Westlife.
He was judge and coach on The Voice of Ireland and won the 13th series of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! in 2013.
Some of Westlife’s best hits include World of My Own, My Love and If I Let You Go.
Wolf is the smartly-dressed grey wolf on this year’s Masked Singer.
With a long greyish tan coat with light tan ruffles, the dapper Wolf also rocks a red undershirt with a pink collar and gold buttons.
Last weekend, Wolf took to the stage to perform The Candy Man, with it also revealed that all the songs performed on Saturday were clues.
Other fans thought another mystery pop star was Wolf.
Eagle-eyed fans spotted a nod to Wet, Wet, Wet’s song Sweet Little Mystery – and that the man behind the mask might be Marti Pellow.
But now there’s a spanner in the works after fans of the show noticed a huge clue in an actor’s tour poster that “gives away” Wolf’s true identity.
In a Masked Singer dedicated Reddit group, one fan shared Nigel Havers’ show poster – with them alluding to how he might really be Wolf.
Sitting down on chair with the name of the show “Talking B*LL*CKS” above him, Nigel can be seen promoting his first ever solo show which will be at the Gillian Lynne Theatre, Drury Lane.
Nigel, 73, has been in the showbiz industry for more than five decades, with his show set to explore his career and the stories he wants to share.
“Check out the advertising for Nigel Havers solo show, what’s that at his feet? Boom,” penned the person who shared the poster on Reddit.
MASSIVE CLUE UNCOVERED
At the bottom of the poster, and right by Nigel’s feet, is a huge wolf’s head, with the fan believing this confirms Wolf’s identity as Nigel.
But this comes as fans still reckon Marti Pellow is the celebrity behind the furry disguise.
“Marti Pellow is 100% Wolf. The outfit and the dreads a hint to his Rat Man character in Dick Whittington,” penned one fan on X.
CLUES POINTING TO MARTI
Another added: “LOVE Wolf – he totally embodies the character and owns the stage – effortlessly cool and sounding great! More clues for Marti Pellow… Egypt – River Nile – Nile Rodgers produced a Wet Wet Wet album. Gambit – chess term – Marti Pellow was in Chess.”
While a third said: “Yeah I’m now getting no one but Marti Pellow from Wolf. Most distinctive his voice has sounded so far.”
Marti left Wet Wet Wet in May 1999, effectively disbanding the group.
They reformed in March 2004.
However in 2018, Marti quit the group as was replaced by former Liberty X star Kevin Simm.
The Masked Singer, Saturdays at 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
