The Masked Singer fans ‘work out’ that super-famous Ted Lasso star is behind Eiffel Tower
THE Masked Singer fans are convinced a Ted Lasso star is behind the Eiffel Tower’s glittering outfit.
ITV viewers are now speculating the actress is playing the role of the Parisienne landmark, which put on a stunning performance of Voulez-Vouz by ABBA in the previous episode.
They have called out Hannah Waddingham, 49, as the fancy French tourist attraction after a reference to a python on the show’s VT.
This was followed up with a post from The Masked Singer‘s official Instagram page which featured the character and the words: “ooh la la, ooh, la la, mon chant etait tres bon [my song was very good], it may not have been Monty but it was def Python.”
In the caption, the show teased: “Did you SNAIL this #EIFFELTOWER riddle?” to which one fan promptly replied: “Hannah Waddingham all day!”
Another put: “Monty Python = Spamalot. EiffelTower is Hannah Waddingham.”
Hannah played the Lady of the Lake in Monty Python’s Spamalot – and fans think this is the killer clue.
She also scooped huge film in AppleTV drama Ted Lasso, taking on the role of Rebecca, the owner of AFC Richmond.
Additionally, the character is an imposing figure and Hannah also stands at 5ft 11 – which also supports their theory.
Yet before Hannah became everyone’s favourite statuesque blonde, she found fame as a plus size model.
The actress recently told how she had worked closely with Ted Lasso costume designer Jacky Levy on Rebecca’s looks.
“Myself and Jacky Levy collaborate 100 per cent together and have done that really since Day One,” she told Women’s Wear Daily.
“We go out shopping together and I’m very, very, very specific about Rebecca’s style and her palette of colour.
“And Jacky is the same. We just have a complete meeting of minds.”
Despite many picking out Hannah as their choice, the game is not up just yet, with other viewers insisting an Eighties popstar is behind the mask.
Eagle-eyed fans picked up on no less than THREE clues which led to them declaring that Tiffany, famed for her hit I Think We’re Alone Now, was the one singing.
Yet others reckon an EastEnders star is mimicking the French landmark.
Some people have theorised that the celeb behind the costume is none other than Vicki Michelle.
The 72-year-old actress made her EastEnders debut last year as Jo Cotton, the long-lost wife of Brian Conley’s Rocky.
It remains to be seen if the identity of the character will be revealed in this weekend’s ITV episode.
