Kevin Clifton's Strictly co-star convinced he's on Masked Singer after recognising voice
STRICTLY COME DANCING star Mike Bushell has shared who he thinks Badger is on The Masked Singer UK 2021, naming his former co-star Kevin Clifton.
Kevin Clifton reveals he often feels 'anxious and awkward'
Many fans of The Masked Singer, including BBC Breakfast star Mike Bushell, have theorised Kevin Clifton could be behind the mask of Badger. It comes following the semi-final of the competition last night, which saw Dragon unmasked as Sue Perkins and Harlequin as singer Gabrielle.
Mike wrote to his 59,500 Twitter followers about how he thinks former Strictly Come Dancing star Kevin Clifton could be behind Badger's mask.
He added: "Sounds more like king @keviclifton?"
Although fans of the BBC star went on to talk of how they are wary of his prediction.
One wrote: "I'm so confused. Still thinking Jay Kay though."
Another joked: "I still think it's you Mike Bushell."
While the BBC Breakfast star's fans may not agree, others have since taken to Twitter to dicuss Kevin's likability to the clues so far.
One user wrote: "Ok, lads, hear me out. Badger is Kevin Clifton from Strictly."
A third agreed: "Why am [I] getting Kevin Clifton vibes from badger?"
Mike appeared on Strictly Come Dancing in 2019, when he was partnered up alongside Katya Jones.
On the show, the pair danced their way to week eight before leaving the competition.
On the show, he danced with TV presenter Anneka Rice, but the couple were voted out in week three of the competition.
Before he announced his exit, Kevin had been a part of the show for seven years.
During his time on Strictly, he reached the final many times and in 2015 made the final for a third time.
He went on to be victorious with his now girlfriend Stacey Dooley in 2018, lifting the Glitterball Trophy together.
Many fans suspected the Strictly star to be Badger after a clue hinted to an appearance on the BBC show.
After being asked to tell the judges two truths and a lie, Badger replied: "Strictly speaking, I'm known for dancing."
The Masked Singer will continue next Saturday on ITV.
