The Masked Singer fans have ‘worked out’ that Jacket Potato could be another huge EastEnders star – and that it may not Shane Richie.
Although viewers of the popular ITV competition have flocked to social media to speculate that Jacket Potato could be the Alfie Moon star, they have ‘worked out’ that another Albert Square icon could be behind the mask instead.
Jacket Potato took to the stage last week (January 7), alongside characters including Fawn, Rubbish, Piece of Cake, Pigeon and Rhino.

The character gave a rendition of Elvis Presley’s hit Viva Las Vegas, with viewers soon taking to social media to speculate about Jacket Potato’s identity.

Hearing the character’s singing voice, fans have now predicted that Jacket Potato is Rocky star Brian Conley, with one saying: “Having watched the clip of Jacket Potato on #maskedsingeruk again, I am convinced it’s the brilliant @RealBrianConley singing Viva Las Vegas. Can’t wait to see if it’s him.”
“Just caught #MaskedSingerUK and the Jacket Potato also sounds like Brian Conley,” agreed a second.

“Speaking in an American accent but I don’t think they are American. No idea from the clues BUT their voice sounds very familiar. It sounds like Rocky from EastEnders, so I would guess Brian Conley,” added a third.
A fourth commented: “Right so we think Pigeon is Catherine Tate, Jacket Potato is Brian Conley and Rhino is Charlie Simpson,” while a fifth added: “Jacket Potato is Brian Conley.”
However, fans seem split over which EastEnders star could be behind the mask.

When one viewer posted a poll on Twitter asking if Jacket Potato was Brian Conley or Shane Richie, more than 65% of users voted that their real identity was Alfie Moon star Shane.
Meanwhile, only 35% agreed that Jacket Potato was Brian Conley.
Shane Richie still seems to be the favourite behind the mask, with one viewer saying on Twitter: “Tonight’s is too easy. Jacket potato is Shane Richie and Fawn is former Chancellor of the Exchequer, Kenneth Clarke. Simple. #MaskedSingerUK.”

“So far, I think jacket potato could be Matt Lucas or Shane Richie #MaskedSinger,” added a second.
A third commented: “Bet anyone £1 it’s Shane Richie on @MaskedSingerUK #maskedsinger #MaskedSingerUK.”
Away from the soaps though, viewers have also speculated that Jacket Potato could be a number of stars, including Great British Bake Off’s Matt Lucas, Hollywood icon David Hasselhoff, popstar Brian Harvey, TV chef James Martin and rock legend Richie Sambora.
With Jacket Potato set to perform again this weekend, will the character finally be unmasked? Viewers will have to wait and see.
