Who is Yak? Brandreth and Mortimer Top Market
The clue package for Yak has been one of the most cryptic so far, but it hasn’t stopped the betting community from jumping in.
With a quirky, slightly theatrical performance style and a few comedy hints in the VT, bookies now make Gyles Brandreth the 2/1 favourite to be behind the mask.

Brandreth, a known lover of costumes and eccentric performances, fits the bill perfectly.
However, the unpredictability of The Masked Singer means outsiders like Hamza Yassin, a recent Strictly winner, and comedian Bill Bailey (also a Strictly winner) remain viable options too.
Who is Gargoyle? Wilcox and King Lead the Way
Gargoyle’s powerful stage presence and glam-rock vocal style have led many fans to believe a music legend is underneath the costume and betting experts agree.
Toyah Wilcox tops the market at 2/1, but faces competition from Marcella Detroit and Mollie King (3/1), while Frankie Bridge (4/1) and Ruby Wax (5/1) round out the top five.
| Who Is Gargoyle on Masked Singer UK? | Odds* | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Toyah Wilcox | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Marcella Detroit | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Mollie King | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Frankie Bridge | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Ruby Wax | 5/1 | 16.7% |
With Toyah's signature theatrical delivery and rock background, fans are confident she's the voice behind Gargoyle.
Mollie King, of The Saturdays fame, could also be a dark horse given her vocal power and ITV connections.
