Fans speculate Bear's identity on The Masked Singer after surprising rap performance

On "The Masked Singer," the character Bear surprised viewers by performing a rap song, shifting from a previous musical number from "Oliver!" This change left both the judges and the audience guessing Bear's identity. Fans are now speculating that Bear could be EastEnders actor Richard Blackwood, known for his rapping. This is a change from last week when many believed Bear was actor Michael Sheen. Bear's performance included clues about stage experience and a riddle related to gardening, which had fans connecting the character to both Blackwood and Sheen. The show continues to generate excitement since its launch in 2020.
