Masked Singer fans convinced Snail is 90s girl band star who quit fame to become a masseuse
THE MASKED Singer fans are convinced that Snail is a huge 90s pop star from a much beloved girl band.
Some fans have spotted clues that the shelled creature is Irish signer Edele Lynch from iconic group B*Witched.
Snail has got everyone guessing – including the panel of judges.
In the first episode, judges Mo Gilligan, Davina McCall, Maya Jama, and Jonathan Ross were joined by Sir Mo Farah in the guessing game.
They were all wowed by Snail, who took to the stage to sing Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter, with a garden-themed performance.
They then pulled out all the stops with Take That’s Rule the World and Hold On by Wilson Phillips last weekend.
Now some eagle-eyed fans think Snail could be pop songstress Edele.
One viewer wrote: “I think Snail is Edele Lynch from Bewitched, lots of umbrellas for Blame it on the weatherman, wrote songs for Girls aloud with Xenomania company.”
A second posted: “Edele Lynch or Andrea Corr is snail.”
While others think they’ve recognised the voice.
A third said: “Snail – someone from B*Witched? Sounds a bit Irish and you can watch the Bewitched on amazon prime. Also j’taime reminded me of cest la vie.”
Another added: “That was definitely an Irish accent. Someone from Corrs or B*Witched?”
Edele swapped her singing career for a very different day job after shooting to fame in the 1990s.
The star, 43, enjoyed success along with her other bandmates – twin sister, Keavy, Lindsay Armaou and Sinéad O’Carroll with some of their smash hits such as C’est La Vie and Blame It On The Weatherman.
Fast forward over two decades and Edele has a very surprising job away from the limelight.
She recently revealed in an interview that she went back to school to be trained as a neuromuscular therapist and currently works as a neuromuscular therapist and personal training.
The band was first formed in 1998 when Edele and Keavy decided to start a group with their friend Sinead.
B*Witched enjoyed huge success worldwide, becoming the first act in history to have their first four singles debut at number one in the UK.
However, in 2002 after their huge success and touring all over the world the band decided to split.
Snail trail
While other internet-sleuths are now convinced they know who The Masked Singer‘s Snail is.
Some fan thinks they have guessed that the celeb behind the elaborate costume is in fact 90s legend Andrea Corr.
The Irish singer shot to fame nearly three decades ago with her brothers and sisters in the band The Corrs.
Andrea and her siblings were best known for songs like Breathless, So Young, and Runaway.
Fans are now convinced she is The Masked Singer‘s Snail, and they took to social media to sure their thoughts.
One tweeted: “Snail is Andrea Corr- violins playing, clue package mentions Irresistible straight away (Corrs song), soft Irish accent, clue about being up in space- her solo album was called Ten Feet High.”
While another said: “Ok so Snail on #MaskedSingerUK sounds very much like Andrea Corr and that is what I’m sticking with.”
This one agreed: “Snail sounds a bit like Andrea Corr…”
