Seahorse celebrity identity: who is Seahorse on The Masked Singer UK? Here are the clues and theories...

The Masked Singer is officially back on our screens, with a fresh batch of mystery celebs competing to win the most bonkers talent show on earth.

If you've been living under a rock and aren't familiar with the ITV show, it sees famous faces perform a song each week to a live audience and panel comprising of Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Rita Ora and Mo Gilligan.

The twist? All the celebs are dressed in elaborate costumes, and we don't find out who they are until they're eliminated from the competition.

Nicola Roberts was crowned winner of series one - but who will come out top this season?

One of those competing is Seahorse. Here's everything we know so far...

**Update: Seahorse has now been unmasked** scroll down for the spoiler...

Who is Seahorse?

Searhorse is a woman, and did her first VT in the style of a TV presenter, saying: "Hello, it's mke, the searhose, and on today's show, we are asking 'who is the seahorse?'

"That's the question on everyone's lips, and I'm here to help you figure that out.

"All I can tell you is that seahorses have a magical quality, they look unique.

"Even i don't recognise myself."

Seahorse added of her decision to do the show: "I'm a little bit nervous but I can't wait to have some fun."

Rita Ora guessed it could be Jessica Ennis-Hill, with Jonathan Ross suggesting Trisha Goddard.

Davina McCall predicted Debbie McGee, with Mo Gilligan saying it could be Mel B.

Twitter seems to be divided by Seahorse's identity, with many echoing the prediction that it could be Trisha.

Seahorse's final clue was: "I once stole toilet roll from a total legend's house."

Has Seahorse been unmasked?

Seahorse was unmasked in week two, and it was Spice Girl Mel B!

Speaking about her decision to do the show, Mel said: "The show's a great show, and you get to not be yourself for a second."

One of her clues was that she stole toilet roll from a 'total legend's' house, and she revealed the story behind this anecdote to Joel Dommett.

She said:"I went to Nelson Mandela's house, and my hair and, make-up team had to wait outside, so I nicked a toilet roll to give them."
