Masked Singer Fans Confident They've Unmasked Toastie Ahead of Grand Finale
The Masked Singer is set to crown its champion tonight, with Toastie, Conkers, and Moth as the final three celebrities battling for victory on ITV1. As speculation reaches fever pitch, fans are rallying behind a strong theory: Toastie is none other than Loose Women star Brenda Edwards.
Clues Point to Bolton Connections and Vocal Prowess
Viewers have meticulously analyzed clues, noting a visual hint featuring three famous Bolton natives: Vernon Kay, Sara Cox, and Peter Kay. Brenda Edwards has deep ties to the town, having performed at Bolton Wanderers FC's stadium for The Big Bolton Carol Concert in December 2022. This charity event supported her late son Jamal Edwards' trust and local causes, aligning with the show's cryptic hints.
Brenda's vocal talent further fuels the speculation. She finished fourth on The X Factor in 2005 and has a soulful voice that matches Toastie's performances. Her career began early, singing in church at age eight and working as an accounts-payable manager in the 1990s while recording music, showcasing her "grafting" spirit referenced in clues.
Royal Performance Adds to the Evidence
Another clue suggesting Toastie can "hold her own with royalty" fits Brenda perfectly. She performed at the Royal Variety Performance with the cast of Paddington The Musical, where she plays Mrs Brown, adding weight to fans' deductions.
Brenda's Denial Falls on Deaf Ears
Despite the mounting evidence, Brenda Edwards has publicly dismissed the theory. Responding to a fan online who identified her as Toastie, she claimed, "Toastie is Mica Paris." However, fans remain unconvinced, continuing to believe she is behind the mask, with many expressing excitement and certainty on social media.
The Masked Singer final airs tonight at 7pm on ITV1, where the true identity of Toastie will be revealed, alongside Conkers and Moth, in a highly anticipated unmasking.
