There are only a few hours left until the big reveal.
But fans of The Masked Singer believe they’ve already identified one of the big finalists: Bigfoot.
The furry character has reportedly “revealed” his identity: Alex Brooker, who fans are convinced is behind the costume, has broken his silence over the speculation.
Bigfoot typically sings a tune with his leg wrapped in a cast, which fans see as his biggest clue, as viewers believe it is a nod to Alex’s TV show, The Last Leg.
Recently, Alex, 39, signed up to play rugby for the Leeds Rhinos Foundation PDRL team, which fans also believe is an obvious clue as he referenced a rhino during his recent hints.
Masked Singer fans believe they have already identified one of the big finalists: Bigfoot, as Alex Brooker broke his silence on the speculation.
Bigfoot typically sings a tune with his leg wrapped in a cast, which fans see as his biggest clue, as viewers believe it is a nod to Alex’s TV show, The Last Leg (pictured: Alex with his co-stars Adam Hills and Josh Widdicombe).
But now, the latest clue was noticed during Friday night’s episode of his Channel 4 show.
Talking about him being at the center of gossip before the grand final, Alex said he wouldn’t come out in something so ridiculous.
Alex joked to viewers: ‘It can’t be (me). I wouldn’t go on TV dressed in something ridiculous. I know you’ve been talking about this, I just have to say it right away. Look at me now, I’m sweating. I’m sweating here tonight.
But her co-host Josh Widdicombe, who previously revealed he suspects Alex was Bigfoot on his Parenting Hell podcast, joked: ‘Because you’re lying.’
Alex replied: ‘Do you really think I could go in a costume, a huge, furry costume? They would open it and there would be nothing left. It would be like the end of the snowman.
Then a clip of Bigfoot played on the show and Alex said, ‘Everything I say, how can you watch that and think that’s me?’ He’s clearly one of the Backstreet Boys.
Josh added: “I like Bigfoot because it refers to you. Flamingo that was the other option. The first week Brooker appeared as Bigfoot and we are all clear that Brooker is Bigfoot, even though he is lying to us.
And unfortunately for Alex, fans seemed to agree with Josh when they fled to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their theories.

“Alex is being very chill on @TheLastLeg and has a poker face so he must be a bigfoot on @MaskedSingerUK #MaskedSingerUK #AlexBrooker keeps an eye on his face every time bigfoot or the masked singer is mentioned.”
‘They’re trying to get out of #AlexBrooker about #MaskedSingerUK; It is not like this?
Since the start of this year’s series, 12 celebrities have dressed up in costume in the hope that their identity would not be revealed during their iconic performances.
But during the course of the ITV show nine stars were unmasked, leaving three people in tonight’s final at 7.20pm.
Only Bigfoot, Cricket and Piranha are left fighting for the crown.
The all-male final was a point of controversy after the two remaining candidates won in the semi-final.
American singer and actress Keala Settle was unmasked as Air Fryer and 80s pop star Tiffany was revealed as the Eiffel Tower.
Whichever costumed celebrity takes the metaphorical crown, they’ll be dining out just for bragging rights.
By contrast, winners of the American version of The Masked Singer win a trophy that resembles a costume mask.
