Bookies have revealed the celebrities that punters think are behind this year’s Masked Singer contestants.
Singer Gary Barlow is 7/4 favourite to be Poodle followed by comic Eddie Izzard.
And football legend Michael Owen is 2/1 to be the man behind Doughnuts.
Elsewhere, crooner Alesha Dixon is 7/2 to be revealed as Panda while ex-pop star Rick Astley and footie pundit Chris Kamara lead the way in the Traffic Cone betting.
Meanwhile, telly presenter Rylan Clark and musician Olly Alexander are the favourites to be the celebs dressed as RoboBunny.
Alex Apati, from Ladbrokes, said: “Plenty of viewers reckon Gary Barlow is the man behind Poodle, and we don’t think they’re barking up the wrong tree with that guess.”

He added: “Morten Harket tried to fool judges last year by covering his own song while being disguised as Viking, and the latest odds suggest Rick Astley could be pulling a similar stunt this time out as Traffic Cone.”
Another character which has left fans in a tizz is Firework.
The mystery contestant performed for the first time in on Saturday night and lit up the stage with their rendition of Jessie J’s hit Domino.

In their VT before their time on stage, they said: |I’ve always been a pocket rocket, a total bundle of energy, but that’s just my style.
“Maybe that’s because fireworks are designed to make people smile.”
In the video, a wooden human model and a dog figurine were shown on the shelf.
“I light up the street with a different kind of flash,” they said in a final clue.

Firework added that normally “you find us in the sky, but this one also lit things up in another fashion”.
Guesses from the judging panel included Spice Girls’ Mel C, Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague, model Jodie Kidd and actress Michelle Keegan.
Viewers at home, however, weren’t convinced, with many rushing to their keyboards to throw Pixie’s name into the ring.
