The Masked Singer: Viewers have figured out who the Prawn is before he’s been unmasked

Clever fans of The Masked Singer have analysed the clues and have revealed online who the Prawn is on Channel 10’s hit show.

You’ve done it Australia, you’ve finally figured out who one of the most mysterious Masked Singers is.

Whereas some of the celebrities behind the masks have been easy to pick (we’re looking at you, Nikki Webster), the same can’t be said for the Prawn who performed for the second time this season on last night’s episode.

In his first appearance, the Prawn gave the following clues:

• “I enjoy being in the public eye, here, in the UK and America.”

• “I’m a bit of a lairy lad.”

• “The big stage is where I feel most comfortable.”

• “Some people would say my choice of hobby is unusual” (he was shown holding a soccer ball and an NFL football).

• “My skin wasn’t made for the hot Australian sun.”

• “Do I think I can win The Masked Singer? I’ve been in an arena like this before, so I know what it takes to be crowned the winner.”

The Alien was Nikki Webster, but who is the Prawn?

During his rendition of Suspicious Minds by Elvis Presley, the Prawn also gave a special shoutout to Dannii Minogue, which suggested that he might have been linked to her romantically in the past.

Those playing along at home found the Prawn a hard one to pick after the first episode, with most people leaning towards Kris Smith, Freddie Flintoff or Ronan Keating.

But the clues in last night’s third episode gave viewers a much better idea of who the Prawn actually is.

Before he performed I Want to Break Free by Queen, the Prawn gave the following clues:

• “It’s no surprise to find me at the big occasions.”

• “I’ve famously spent a lot of time around the house” (he was shown vacuuming).

• “I sometimes feel like an outsider.”

• “Entering a competition like this is a change in direction for my career. You might not know it, but we prawns enjoy a change of sea-nery.”

• “I like most types of music which has come in very handy in the past.”

• “I’m in this competition for the long haul. I know it’s going to take more than time to win.”

• “I am a fanatic for sports and I have the perfect platform to sing their praises.”

Almost immediately after the clue package aired on Channel 10, viewers were convinced that the Prawn is none other than Darren McMullen.
