Yet now The Masked Singer regulars have thrown another US singer’s name in the frame

They insist house music pioneer Kym Mazelle, 63, is hidden behind the Parisienne landmark mask.

The Indiana-born songstress was a former member of British music group Soul II Soul before finding solo fame.

After Eiffel Tower performed a stunning rendition of Stay by Rihanna last night, one fan took to X to insist: “Eiffel Tower is Kym Mazelle.”

Another posted: “I’m pretty sure that is Kym Mazelle,” as a third wrote: “Watching on +1 so may have dippy egg on my face but Eiffel Tower is @KymMazelle surely…”

One then added: “Just caught up with @MaskedSingerUK. Don’t usually tweet my guesses but here they are from my most to least confident. Eiffel Tower – Kym Mazelle.”

Kym is known for hits including Wait, No More Tears and Young Hearts Run Free.

Yet she was also embroiled in a race row with The Masked Singer judge Rita ora back in 2020.

Kym accused the How We Do star of appropriating black culture to “monetise her fame.”

The singer told Good Morning Britain at the time she had an issue with how Rita was being “marketed” as a black artist.

In a lengthy rant she said: “I think that there is a very big problem with it because a lot of this appropriation goes from monetising and people use this look and our culture to monetise their fame and to fund their lifestyle whereas we ourselves cannot even monetise our own looks, so I have a problem with that,’ she said.

“She knows she’s Albanian, the rest of the world and most people do not because she’s marketed as a black artist, as if she is biracial or of some black origin.

“She’s agreed with it, she’s made lots of money with it, she’s been very successful in her career with it, and that’s the way they market her, that’s how she keeps her job.”

Meanwhile, back on the show, some fans have switched tack from singers to TV stars, suggesting actress Hannah Waddingham is the famous face behind Eiffel Tower.

Other viewers have insisted Eighties popstar Tiffany is behind the mask while a handful reckon EastEnders star Vicki Michelle is mimicking the French landmark.

Previously, Eiffel Tower has performed Miley Cyrus’ Flowers and Robbie Williams’ stellar track, Angels.

It comes as Maypole was revealed in last night’s episode.

Meanwhile, BBC presenter Nicky Campbell was exposed as the cute foodie, Dippy Egg.
