Is Monster Tom Jones?

As one of the five remaining unmasked singers on the show, more and more names are being suggested for Monster .

One of those is legendary musician, Tom Jones, after the blue fur ball appeared to give away his identity.

Following Monster's performance of Rag'n'Bone Man's Human, panelist Jonathan Ross believed he'd sussed out who was behind the flamboyant costume.

He said: “The deep voice, the stage craft, what if it’s the Welsh wonder Tom Jones?”

And the contestant's reaction seemed to suggest that he was indeed the singing icon as he chuckled away.

“I’ve got you Tom, haven’t I?” the panelist then asked.

So, has Jonathan hit the nail on the head, or is this just another spanner put in the mix to throw us off?

Is Monster CeeLo Green?

Singer CeeLo Green is a main contender to be the celebrity behind Monster, according to some viewers.

The musician, who is half of the group Gnarls Barkley, has been successful with hit singles Crazy and Forget You. He voiced Murray the Mummy in animated film Hotel Transylvania and was previously a judge on the US version of The Voice.

Many viewers are convinced that the R&B singer is the man behind the mask, as the Monster has a similar distinctive voice to Green. Monster also mentions that he’s won several awards, which could apply to Green, who has received five Grammy Awards and other accolades.

Some Twitter users have also highlighted that CeeLo Green’s alter ego is named ‘Gold’, which is a song by Monster’s hero, Tony Hadley. Also, in a 2010 interview, Green told The Guardian that he would wear a gold suit if he could get one made so that “hopefully, if someone like Tony [Hadley] from Spandau Ballet sees me looking stylish, they’ll recognise it comes from them”.

Is Monster Big Narstie?

Some fans are guessing that British rapper Big Narstie is the celebrity in the blue furry costume.

Rap artist Big Narstie is best known for When the Bassline Drops – his single with Craig David – and other grime hits. He has also become an internet and television personality in recent years after appearing on the Gogglebox celebrity special, Would I Lie To You? And Big Fat Quiz of the Year. He hosts his own chat show – The Big Narstie Show – on Channel 4.

Some viewers thought Monster’s “big personality” was a reference to Big Narstie’s stage name.

Is Monster will.i.am?

Some fans are certain that musician Will.i.am is Monster’s true celebrity identity.

The rapper, who is best known for being a member of The Black Eyes Peas, has produced numerous hits including Where Is the Love, My Humps and I Gotta Feeling and acted in Madagascar 2 and Rio. He is currently a judge on The Voice UK.

Will.i.am is a guess for many viewers as the rapper has received many musical accolades and is currently in the UK to film The Voice.
