The Masked Singer is just one semi-final away from its 2025 grand finale and as such, guesses are still coming in thick and fast as to who could be behind the disguises.
On Saturday evening, Wolf, Dressed Crab, Bush, Bear and Pufferfish will all battle it out on stage in front of judges Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Maya Jama and guest judge Richard E Grant for a spot in the final.
All five performers have been impressing the panel throughout the series so far, with fans and judges alike thinking they've cracked the identities of who the disguised performers are.
ITV viewers are convinced Pufferfish could be a big-name Hollywood actress while others are certain that Dressed Crab could be a musical chart-topper - and it isn't Gregory Porter.
Now, thanks to a clue in one of Wolf's packages alluding to three umbrellas, bookmakers think the disguised performer is someone with ties to the band Wet, Wet, Wet.
"Wolf is just 6/4 to win the series and fans are absolutely convinced about the animal's identity," Gambling.com's Entertainment expert, James Leyfield told GB News.

He explained: "Marti Pellow has been cut to 4/11 to be Wolf. One of the character's clues was three umbrellas, which could be a nod to Marti being the frontman of band Wet Wet Wet.
"Pellow has some new competition in the shape of actor Luke Evans, who has been installed as 5/2 second favourite."
However, Pellow as Wolf is by no means a foregone conclusion with the likes of Darren Day at 3/1, Jim Kerr at 7/2, and Simon Le Bon at 5/1 close behind him in the market.
A number of viewers are also convinced the bookies are on to a winner with their predictions, with X flooded with fans echoing the prediction.

"Not seen any spoilers and just catching up with Masked Singer n think Wolf is Marti Pellow recognise that voice anywhere #maskedsingeruk," one fan tweeted last weekend.
A second agreed: "Wolf 100% Marti Pellow. If in doubt listen to his recent work (Stargazer, Dante's Prayer etc) & you hear the different vocal styles.
"Even the movement so recognisable if you've seen him live. My other half said 'that's Marti' within the first verse of Wolf singing #MaskedSingerUK."
Another echoed: "What a gorgeous performance from Wolf. that amazing voice definitely belongs to Marti Pellow. #maskedsingeruk."
And a fourth simply suggested: "#maskedsingeruk wolf is actually Marti pellow." (sic)
Last week, Wolf took to the stage to perform a unique rendition of Billie Eilish's Birds of Feather.
Pellow managed to avoid being mentioned by any of the panel following the routine, with Jama guessing it was Westlife's Kian Egan under the mask and McCall opting for Bridgerton's Jonathan Bailey.
Meanwhile, Mo Gilligan punted for Aerosmith's Steven Tyler while Ross seemed dumbfounded as he jokingly guessed at grime artist, Skepta.

During their latest clues package, Wolf teased: "Hello. Konnichiwa. Howdy. Here's Wolfie. It's a tale as old as time but I've for used to Saturday night being a bit of a break.
"Now, it's been a regular witch hunt to find out who's behind the fur. Time for a change of gear.
"Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? This one knows how to let their hair down and enjoys a good boogie! There's something about this wolf you should know.
"An encounter with you-know-who opened up a new world yours truly. Are you hoping to squeeze a few more clues out of me, how wicked. Not by the hairs on my chinny-chin-chin.
"You'll have to try harder than that if you wanna catch me. Now, have I got a song for you."
