Who is Dragon? Find out all the clues and theories so far about the real celebrity identity of The Masked Singer contestant.

The Masked Singer is now, sadly, almost over - with just five mystery celebrities remaining in the competition.

If you aren't familiar with the ITV show (where have you been?) it sees famous faces perform a song each week to a live audience and panel comprising of Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Rita Ora and Mo Gilligan.

The audience and panel are tasked with guessing who each performer is, before a dramatic unmasking at the end of each show...

One of the mystery celebs is Dragon - here's what we know about who may be behind the mask...

**Update: Dragon has now been unmasked! Find out who it was here**

Who is Dragon? What are the clues so far?

First performance clues:

Dragon performed for the first time in episode one, and said in their first VT : "I am the Dragon.

"The Thing about dragons it they're all fire and strength on the outside, but they just want to be loved.

"Becoming a dragon has meant I've literally become a big character, but I'm not entirely sure that's how I'm usually thought of.

"Anyways, I mustn't drag on.

"Tonight, are you going to try and guess who I am?"

After the performance, Dragon said: "I might be cute, but sometimes I have a fiery temper."

Second performance clues:

Before their second performance, Dragon said: "Hiding behind Dragon, I can perform in a way i would never be able to do normally.

"The thing about dragons is, they are brave. or at leats thats what people think. I cant decide whether I'm brave or silly.

"But i'll tell you this, I'll do anything for a dare.

"It was a dare that got me started in my career.

"Being on stage, that is a scary thing. But it was from being on stage that I met a boyfriend, so it's not been all bad.

Dragon added that performing in costume helps them hide their 'big belly'.

Third performance clues:

Before their third performance, Dragon said: "Being the Dragon is too much fun.

"You can't deny there's destiny in me becoming the Dragon, it's like my journey started and ended with a giant winged costume. It's true, I'm no oath breaker."

Dragon also said that they had been 'all over the world'.

Fourth performance clues:

Before their fourth performance, Dragon said: "Dragons have a very varied diet, I've had duck tongues, udders, trotters, and even pigs bums.

Dragon added: "I love to learn. I can devour books. If I was ever stranded on a desert island, it's probably a book I'd take with me."

In Dragon's 'surveillance footage' from backstage shown after the performance, they were seen standing with a microphone.

Fifth performance clues

Before their fifth performance, Dragon said: "My spell as a dragon has been so much fun.

"Much like my career, I love to spend my time putting smiles on people's face.

"But I also get to connect with people all over the world.

"You've got to find a way to break the ice, and my top tip for that is embarrass yourself - it works for me."
