Dancing along, judge Mo Gillighan exclaimed: “He’s so good man!”

His co-star Davina McCall added: “Oh my God, that voice! What a singer!”

The live studio audience clapped wildly as Dressed Crab showed off his incredible set of pipes and, unsurprisingly, he sailed through to the next live show.

Fans at home also watched his incredible performance in awe and they are certain they’ve figured out his identity.

Ruling out the popular favourite guess of Gregory Porter, viewers are wondering if Dressed Crab is actually Teddy Swims.

Discussing their theories on Reddit, one fan said Saturday night’s clue of “working with a little faith” was a big hint towards the Lose Control star.

“I was in the Gregory Porter camp until tonight and one line in the clue package sent me off in a completely different direction. I think it may be Teddy Swims?” the fan wrote.

“In the clue package he mentioned working with a little faith, which made me think of Paloma, who Teddy collaborated with. Then Pufferfish sang Teddy’s song, which I think is ITV preempting not many people knowing who Teddy is?”

Another simply said: “Still think the crab is Teddy Swims.”

And a third added: “I think Teddy Swims might fit voice wise but he is too much of an unknown to UK audiences, people might think he’s Post Malone when he gets unmasked?”

Teddy released his first song of 2025 earlier this month.

Are You Even Real went on sale on January 10 and he has collaborated with Giveon for the track.

It is currently sitting at Number 23 in the UK’s Official Singles Sales Chart, having dramatically jumped up in a week from 75.

Not everyone is sure of the Teddy Swims guess, however.

Following Dressed Crab’s performance last Saturday, a British name has also been banded around.

Some viewers reckon that Michael Kiwanuka is behind the Crab mask.

The English singer, songwriter, musician, and record producer, is currently signed to Polydor Records.

Michael is perhaps best known for his hit Cold Little Heart which is Big Little Lies’ opening theme song.

During the show, Dressed Crab appeared to drop the clue of “big little lies”, leaving some viewers wondering if had given his identity away in an instant.
