dailyrecord.co.uk:

The latest series of The Masked Singer returned to our screens last night and rumours have been rife about which celebrities could be under the masks this year.Ahead of the first episode on Saturday, ITV released one clue for each of the characters, and bookmakers have been busy speculating which stars will be exercising their vocal chords on the show.Gambling.com have compiled a list of hypothetical odds on the identities of the Masked Singer series five contestants.

Fresh from the recent I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! series, could Fred Sirieix be part of this year's The Masked Singer?The French chef is just 3/1 to be 'Eiffel Tower', whose first clue is: "I’m a huge fan of the show, it was a blast." Fred is known to be a fan of the programme after he previously fuelled speculation he could've been series four's 'Pigeon'.Fellow chef and good pal Gordon Ramsay is 4/1 to play a character on the show - possibly 'Chicken Caesar' given his culinary background.

Gordon is also no stranger to the format, after being a guest judge in the third season of The Masked Singer US. If Ramsay is selected, he'll be hoping to avoid any nightmares on the dancefloor!While 'Cricket' appears to be an insect, rather than a character representing the sport, the person behind the mask could well be someone from the game.

With this in mind, Phil Tufnell and Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff are both fancied to play the character - with both boasting a price of 6/1 to feature on the program.Former footballer Peter Crouch and his size 12 feet are tipped to play the character 'Bigfoot'.
