@TheGeoffHurst @benshephard @MaskedSingerUK @ThisisDavina Definitely not too late, Sir Geoff! Dick Van Dyke did the US Masked Singer aged 97, and William Shatner aged 91 - you could make it another hat trick! 😉 The nation would love it!

[Jon Connell @jonconnell]

Took me weeks to guess that @benshephard Ben Shephard was Conkers. Totally owned that character - can’t believe Jump Around was him! Appearing on the panel in the same series was a genius bit of misdirection. Brilliant contestant. 👏 #MaskedSingerUK @MaskedSingerUK @ThisisDavina

[Sir Geoff Hurst @TheGeoffHurst]

@benshephard @jonconnell @MaskedSingerUK @ThisisDavina They asked me on a couple of years back Ben but 82 at the time was at least 10 years late!!

[Jon Connell @jonconnell]

It was an epic performance, Ben - you absolutely nailed it! Threw me off the scent completely. I’ll never hear Jump Around again without picturing Conkers. 😂 You brought the whole character to life. I think Conkers proved his bravery in the end - a knight to remember! 🫡 🌰 😂

@jonconnell @MaskedSingerUK @ThisisDavina Cheers jon - I’m still haunted by trying to learn those lyrics 😳😂

13/15 this year brings my #MaskedSingerUK / #MaskedDancerUK all-time running total to 110/132 - 83.3%! Had fun as always trying to guess the voices and decode the clues, which were trickier than ever this year. 🕵️ 🤯 Thanks everyone! 😁 @MaskedSingerUK @ThisisDavina

[Jon Connell @jonconnell]

@Luke4152 @benshephard @MaskedSingerUK Well done Luke - that is top detective work! 🕵️‍♂️ I still can’t believe he was behind that Jump Around performance!

[Jon Connell @jonconnell]

@Jm65J Thank you! 😁

My #MaskedSingerUK Top 5 Guesses:

Moth 🦋: Keisha Buchanan
Sloth 🦥: Ben Fogle
Can Of Worms 🪱: Marvin Humes
Toastie 🍞: Mica Paris
Conkers 🌰: Ben Shephard

Gone back & forth on a few this year but reckon I’ve finally cracked it - locking in! 🔒🤞

@MaskedSingerUK @ThisisDavina

[Jon Connell @jonconnell]

@kelt81 You too, Kelly - have loved guessing along with you!

[Jon Connell @jonconnell]

Moth has been my winner from the start - what a simply beautiful singer! Love that #MaskedSingerUK has showcased her stunning talent. Locking in my final guess - Keisha Buchanan from Sugababes! @MaskedSingerUK @ThisisDavina

[Jon Connell @jonconnell]

What a deserving winner - Moth was sublime! What a pleasure it’s been to hear Keisha Buchanan singing every week. Have loved every performance. Such a cozy nostalgia trip for Sugababes fans. Pure talent. #MaskedSingerUK @MaskedSingerUK @ThisisDavina

[Jon Connell @jonconnell]

Loved watching @MayaJama fangirling over Moth each week - you can’t grow up listening to Sugababes and not instantly know the voice of Keisha Buchanan! Moth has been stunning - deserving winner. #MaskedSingerUK @MaskedSingerUK @ThisisDavina

[Jon Connell @jonconnell]

He came, he sang, he almost Conkered! Locking in my final guess for Conkers - Ben Shephard! #MaskedSingerUK @MaskedSingerUK @ThisisDavina

[Jon Connell @jonconnell]

Always thought that Davina is the beating heart of @MaskedSingerUK. The reactions, the excitement, the emotional investment, the crazy guesses 😂 - the show wouldn’t be the same without her. Never change @ThisisDavina. ❤️ #MaskedSingerUK

[Jon Connell @jonconnell]

@kelt81 @ThisisDavina @MaskedSingerUK So did I for the first few weeks! It was a great guess.

[Jon Connell @jonconnell]

Locking in my final guess for Toastie - I’m with @ThisisDavina - Mica Paris! #MaskedSingerUK @MaskedSingerUK @ThisisDavina

[Jon Connell @jonconnell]

Yes! Well done @ThisisDavina 🙌 - you nailed Toastie a few weeks ago. The legendary Mica Paris - what a voice and what a costume 😂! #MaskedSingerUK @MaskedSingerUK

[Jon Connell @jonconnell]

Moth & Lionfish - what a duet! You couldn’t go a week without hearing both of these iconic voices in the charts in the early-mid 2000s. Feels like the days of CD:UK again! Got to be Keisha Buchanan with Will Young - magical. #MaskedSingerUK @MaskedSingerUK @ThisisDavina

[Jon Connell @jonconnell]

Conkers wasn’t performing the week that Ben Shephard was on the panel - I think it was some clever misdirection! #MaskedSingerUK @MaskedSingerUK @ThisisDavina

@jonconnell Your another person forgetting Ben Shepherd was a guest judge at the beginning of this series so how could he have done both
