The Masked Singer season 5 theories

Is Bigfoot Alex Brooker?

Fans are convinced The Masked Singer's Bigfoot is journalist and presenter Alex Brooker, with the costume believed to be a huge nod at The Last Leg, which he hosts alongside Josh Widdicombe.

"Catching up on The Masked Singer and Alex Brooker is 100% Bigfoot and I am so happy," one viewer wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Another said: "I've rarely been more sure about anyone on The Masked singer as Alex Brooker being Big Foot."
Alex, is that you?

Is Bigfoot Bradley Walsh?

Jonathan Ross thinks The Chase star and Gladiator host Bradley Walsh could be hiding behind the mask of Bigfoot.

Several clues led Ross to think Bigfoot could be a comedian, and he thought of the 63-year-old presenter, who is known for making viewers laugh with his jokes and one-liners.
