Fans of the reality show “The Masked Singer” think Donny Osmond is playing a crucial role.

The show: The new Fox reality series “The Masked Singer” tasks viewers with guessing the identity of 12 celebrities who are dressed in costumes.

The singers release cryptic clues about themselves and sing music, which are all signs viewers can use to guess their identity.

For example: The Hipp character was revealed to be Pittsburgh Steelers player Antonio Brown.

Now: Osmond’s name has popped up as a possible identity of The Peacock, according to PopCulture.com. Here are some reasons why:

The Peacock revealed he started on stage when he was 5 years old. Osmond’s first performance on “The Andy William’s Show” was in 1963.

A video showing Peacock shuffling cards and saying, “Putting on a show is in my DNA,” points to Osmond’s run in Las Vegas.

He said he’s been a heartthrob in the past but not for a long time.

And, lastly, the video showed Peacock petting a puppy. Osmond has a song called “Puppy Love.”

If that’s not enough, several Twitter members are convinced Peacock is Osmond.

Donny Osmond is 100% the peacock. #TheMaskedSinger is about to make me so mad not knowing who anyone else is lol

More details: And here’s a brief explainer from Vulture: “Vegas references galore, plus when he pets the small dog statue in his intro package, it’s likely referring to Osmond’s ‘Puppy Love’ in 1972. He was a teen heartthrob, so posters of his face lined many bedroom walls. Osmond and Michael Jackson were pals, and the peacock could be a reference to Osmond’s run as the lead in ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’ on Broadway. Also his favorite color, claims one YouTube commenter, is purple.”
