Who is Bear?
Bear first performed on the second episode of The Masked Singer UK season six, and went out of the show in episode six.
Rapper Example was ultimately revealed to be the man behind the mask, surprising viewers watching at home but not panellist Maya Jama, who correctly identified him in her final guess.
Clues about this performer’s identity included a theatrical and possible Shakespearean theme, a hint saying they were on the West End as a “cub”, and the riddle: “I’m walking the stage and displaying my toil, but I’m also at home amongst flowers and soil.”
The Masked Singer panelists Mo Gilligan, Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall and Maya Jama previously suggested Bear could be anyone from Wonka’s Tom Davis, TV chef Gordon Ramsay, or even Sir Patrick Stewart!

On episode one of The Masked Singer UK series six, Bear sang a cover of ‘You’ve Got to Pick a Pocket or Two’ from the musical Oliver!.
