The Masked Singer UK theories

Is Grandfather Clock Chris Kamara?

Some fans believe former footballer Chris Kamara could be behind the costume of Grandfather Clock, and if his recent comments are anything to go by, we may just have beat the clock at his own game.

Kammy all but admitted to being the character, during an appearance on Steph's Packed Lunch.

After politician Jacqui Smith pointed out that the athlete was wearing the "same top" as Grandfather Clock's costume and presenter Russell Kane joked "they've not even changed the face" he simply said: "You've clocked it!"

Surely the real clock wouldn't give the game away that easily?

Is Grandfather Clock Bradley Walsh

The Masked Singer viewers are convinced The Chase presenter Bradley Walsh is the culprit with many taking to Twitter to share their theories.

During the VT, Grandfather Clock gave away a lot of clues which could link to Mr Walsh.

He said: "When you're chasing time you learn to make every singe minute count, who know when you might be in extra time," which could be a nod to Bradley's role on the ITV quiz show.

This could also be pointing towards Bradley's professional football career and regular involvement in Soccer Aid.

Is Grandfather Clock David Seaman?

Jonathan Ross suggested Grandfather Clock could be former England goalkeeper David Seaman.

Throughout the 90s and early 2000s, Seaman played for Arsenal and England before retiring from professional football 2004. He is now goalkeeping coach for Combined Counties League club Wembley.

Seaman responded to Jonathan Ross' prediction on Twitter by posting a picture of himself next to a Grandfather Clock.

Is Grandfather Clock Des Lynam?

Is Grandfather Clock David James?

After hearing Grandfather Clock's final clue, Mo Gilligan suggested the character could actually be former footballer David James.
