Fans of “The Masked Singer” are buzzing with speculation about the identity of the Red Panda character on ITV. After a series of intriguing clues, many believe they have pinpointed pop icon Simon Le Bon as the figure behind the mask.
Clues Pointing to Simon Le Bon
The buzz began when viewers noted clues presented during the recent episodes. The character Red Panda has generated significant interest, with names like comedian Alan Carr and TV personality Jeff Brazier initially thrown into consideration. However, the focus has shifted primarily to Le Bon.
- The four bowls of bon bons are interpreted as a nod to the four members of Duran Duran.
- A clue referencing Roger Moore highlights Duran Duran’s composition of the “A View To A Kill” theme song.
- The mention of “Hungry Like The Wolf” connects to the “Modern Heroes Album,” reinforcing the Duran Duran link.
- References to “baby dummies” are believed to tie into the Duran Duran song “Cry Baby Cry.”
Judges Weigh In
The show’s judges, including Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Mo Gilligan, and Maya Jama, have offered varying opinions on the Red Panda’s identity. Ross was particularly vocal in suggesting the possibility of Simon Le Bon, aligning with fan theories.
One viewer shared on Reddit, “After hearing Red Panda sing, I believe Jonathan might be correct about Simon Le Bon being the performer.” Another noted, “The clues are not always straightforward, yet many lead back to Le Bon.”
Mixed Reactions from Fans
While some fans eagerly support the Le Bon theory, others consider the clues too obvious, leading them to suspect that the true identity might be someone associated with Duran Duran but not Le Bon himself. There is a belief that the explicit references could be intentional misdirection.
Despite the ongoing debate, the mystery of the Red Panda continues to captivate audiences. Fans eagerly await further clues in upcoming episodes of “The Masked Singer,” hoping to confirm their suspicions.
