Spice Girl or EastEnders icon? All clues and theories about The Masked Singer’s Tattoo
Share:
Who is Tattoo? It’s the question on all of our lips following the return of The Masked Singer UK. Episode 1 saw Tattoo take to the stage to perform for Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Mo Gilligan, and newbie judge Maya Jama. The stunning costume is heart-shaped and decorated with classic inkings such as roses, birds, and a ‘love’ banner.

After wowing with their first performance, Tattoo left everyone puzzled after dropping a series of mysterious clues. With predictions thrown out such as an EastEnders legend and even a Spice Girl, who do you think is underneath the mask?. Davina McCall believes EastEnders icon, aka Kat Slater, is behind the mask—Jessie Wallace.

This is due to two crowns that featured in the VT, one being for a King and one for a Queen. Of course, this could be a nod to not only Kat’s status on Albert Square, but also that of her other half, Alfie Moon, played by Shane Richie. ‘You’ve got a bit of personality; you’re hot and fiery,’ Davina said, with Kat hardly famous for holding her tongue.
Kat first appeared on EastEnders from 2000 until 2005. She then returned, much to the excitement of viewers, in 2010. Guest judge Sir Mo Farah reckons the ‘Love’ written on Tattoo’s costume is a nod to Cheryl’s debut solo single, Fight for This Love.
The track was released in 2009 and rocketed up the UK charts, launching Cheryl’s career away from Girls Aloud. At the time, she was also a judge on The X Factor. Cheryl is a big tattoo fan, with one of her most famous being a sprawling rose design across her bum and lower back.
