Overview
- New analysis led by Reddit sleuths links Gargoyle’s clues to Marcella Detroit, citing the face‑down photo of Coronation Street’s Sally as a nod to Lay Down Sally, her 1976 work with Eric Clapton, and the January 13 date tied to Shakespears Sister’s Stay.
- Gargoyle’s first outing featured Filthy/Gorgeous by Scissor Sisters and a punk‑biker look with tartan, leather, a green mohawk, piercings, an anarchy symbol, and on‑screen dates including 1976 and January 13.
- Supporters say the vocal tone matches Detroit’s high register and note references to crossing styles and an American background that fit her career history.
- A parallel theory names Denise Welch based on the Coronation Street reference, though the judging panel’s guesses instead included Ruby Wax, Frankie Bridge and Helen Flanagan.
- Gargoyle remains in the competition and is scheduled to perform again tonight, with further clues expected to shape the ongoing speculation.
