ITV’s Lorraine Kelly could have uncovered the mystery of who is behind Dippy Egg’s mask.
The Scots star was playing detective on her show on Monday morning and led viewers to wonder if she’s on to something.
Lorraine has been at the centre of fan theories herself, as some believe she’s secretly taking part on The Masked Singer as Owl. But if she is, she’s done a good job of shifting the spotlight as she discussed the hugely popular primetime ITV Saturday evening show hosted by Joel Domett with Good Morning Britain hosts Ed Balls and Susanna Reid on Monday.
Lorraine said: “I think Ed Balls is Dippy Egg, just putting it out there for the rest of the universe to think of. Yeah, Ed Balls is Dippy Egg."
Ed, as writes the Mirror, was then quizzed about the possibility live on air, and he said: "Dippy who? Is that me?" Lorraine hit back: "Dippy Egg on The Masked Singer! Don't try to kid on that you don't know what Dippy Egg is. I know you do."
Ed, now looking rather suspicious and quite unconvincing with his denials then said: "I don't know what you are talking about. I don't know what you are talking about."
Fans were convinced Lorraine was right. One took to X, formerly Twitter, to say: “Has it been discussed yet whether Ed Balls is Dippy Egg?"
Another agreed: "Dippy egg clues. Kicking a ball, Strictly, voting. Done morning TV Ed Balls." A third fan posted: "I’m thinking maybe Ed Balls or similar for Dippy Egg???" as a fourth viewer said: "Dippy Egg Ed Balls."
The Masked Singer returned on Saturday night as the panel of judges, audience and those watching on at home continued to guess which famous celebrities were behind the wacky costumes singing on the stage.
