Fans of The Masked Singer are convinced that they know who is taking on the role of the Eiffel Tower.
In the latest edition of the show on Saturday (February 3), the iconic French landmark belted out a huge Rihanna track garnering applause from the judging panel and in-studio audience alike. But eager fans of the show are sure they have sussed who the celebrity behind the mask is.
The ITV show has been known to book huge names in the music industry, both past and present. And fans are now certain that they think Eiffel Tower is none other than house singer and producer Kym Mazelle.

Previously, viewers had thought that that American musician Macy Gray was person in the costume. However, since then more and more evidence has been piling up that Kym Mazelle could be the very person they have been looking for.

A lot of eagle-eared fans are sure that Kym, 63, is the one taking to the stage as the French building. Born in the American state of Indiana, the singer went on to become one of the most iconic voices in the house scene, lending her voice to the group Soul II Soul.
Singing the songs “Back to Life” and “Keep On Movin'”, Kym eventually left the band to find fame on her own accord. Since then, she has gone on to have a successful solo music and TV career, and has kept herself within the media sphere long after her stint in the band.
The last instalment of the show saw Eiffel Tower take on the dramatic ballad “Stay” by Rihanna, with some huge notes being delivered towards the end of the performance. Listening to their performance, one fan sussed it was Kym almost immediately.

Taking to social media, the user wrote: “Eiffel Tower is Kym Mazelle.” A second viewer agreed, adding: “I’m pretty sure that is Kym Mazelle.” Whilst a third account posted their own hypthosesis: “Just caught up with The Masked Singer. I don’t usually tweet my guesses but here they are,” before going on to name Eiffel Tower as Kym Mazelle.
Mazelle is best known for her songs Young Hearts Run Free and Wait, and has had a string of commercial hits under her belt, cementing her place in the music industry. However, should Kym be revealed as Eiffel Tower, it could create some drama, after she was embroiled in an awkward row with judge Rita Ora back in 2020.
Mazelle was not best pleased with the Praising You singer, and hit out against the British-Albanian singer for trying to appropriate black culture. She explained her reasoning was that Rita was trying to user her standing as a person of colour to “monetise her fame”.

Speaking to Good Morning Britain at the time, Kym admitted she had a problem with how Rita was being marketed to a wider audience to reach her fame. She added that appropriation of black culture like this only “funds their lifestyle, whereas we ourselves cannot even monetise our own looks”.
Continuing on, she said: “She knows she’s Albanian, the rest of the world and most people do not because she’s marketed as a black artist, as if she is biracial or of some black origin. She’s agreed with it, she’s made lots of money with it, she’s been very successful in her career with it, and that’s the way they market her, that’s how she keeps her job.”
Other names that have been thrown in the mix for Eiffel Tower include Eurovision legend Hannah Waddingham, Vicki Michelle and Tiffany. However, due to their current standing in the competition, Eiffel Tower’s mask looks set to stay firmly on.
The Masked Singer airs every Saturday on ITV1 and ITVX
