Panellists Rita Ora, Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall and Mo Gilligan are challenged with weighing up the clues and guessing who could be behind the masks.
All the singers take to the stage to put on a performance and at the end of each show, one singer is unmasked.
Here’s who the masked contestants are, who the judges think they could be, and in particular what we know about Robin.
What do we know about Robin and what clues are there?

Judge Gilligan picked up on the performer’s “confidence”, as Robin added: “I’m fast, light on my feet and I’m ready to go the distance. Think you can keep up?
“I’ve trained and now I’m fighting fit for The Masked Singer.”

The judges thought this could mean he is an athlete such as a boxer.
Robin also walked past an Albert Square street sign, referencing EastEnders.
He sang Can’t Stop The Feeling by Justin Timberlake and had a rather impressive voice and confident moves, leading the judges to think he was “a performer” and not a boxer.
In an additional clue at the end of his performance, Robin said: “I’ve been known to fly without wings”.
Who do the judges think Robin could be?

McCall stuck to the idea of Robin being a boxer and suggested Amir Khan, also due to his confidence. She also considered that he could be a member of boyband Westlife.
Ora said Robin had “great legs” and first guessed Yung Filly, but later changed her mind to Dean Gaffney, who plays Robbie in EastEnders.
Ross ran through a list of guesses, including Joe Wicks based on fitness clues and Joe Swash.
But some fans of the show have suggested Robin could be JLS star Aston Merrygold.
Several clues lead them to this, including the fact that JLS once sang with Westlife on The X Factor, performing the song Flying Without Wings.
Some others think it could be Olly Murs or Gareth Gates.
Who has been unmasked so far?
Grandfather Clock: Glen Hoddle

Hoddle was on the pitch at the time of the controversial goal during the 1986 World Cup quarter-final.

Alien: Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Other clues were “an epic battle”, as she once appeared in an episode of Game of Thrones, and a wedding dress as she wore a similar dress in the music video for “Get Over You”.
None of the judges guessed her identity though, with some suggesting she could be host Joel Dommett’s wife Hannah Cooper.

Sophie Dahl, Lily Allen, Brenda Blethyn, Hannah Cooper
