Wolf's identity has stumped the judges for weeks, with each one guessing something wildly different to their co-stars.
Maya Jama guessed that Wolf might be Location, Location, Location host Phil Spencer.

She said that she began to suspect that it was Phil behind the mask because of all of the clues focused on property.
Johnathan Ross guessed that it was either Jason Donovan, David Tennant, or Paul Weller.
Vicky McClure thinks Wolf might be Mike Skinner, while Mo Gilligan opted for U2 singer Bono.
However, Davina McCall guessed that the mystery singer was really Duran Duran frontman Simon Le Bon.
The 80s singer had a global smash hit with his synth anthem Hungry Like the Wolf, which could be the inspiration for his costume.
He is also married to a model, named Yasmin Le Bon, which might explain the model kit reference.
However, fans have disagreed with the judges theories.

Despite this new theory, some fans are still convinced that the Wolf is actually Marti Pellow, the lead singer of Wet Wet Wet.
Wolf sang The Candy Man on January 25, 2025, and fans think the song choice was a reference to the Wet Wet Wet hit Sweet Little Mystery.
One fan said: “Marti Pellow is Wolf #maskedsingeruk candy is sweet...sweet little mystery??”
Another posted: "Wolf is 10000000% Marti Pellow.''
Other names thrown into the mix include Bruce Dickinson, the lead singer of heavy metal band Iron Maiden, and legendary singer David Essex.
David also appeared on EastEnders in 2011 and played Alfie Moon's uncle Eddie.
Following a reference to the BBC soap, eagle-eyed viewers were left convinced that Wolf was in fact David Essex.
Taking to X to share their latest fan theories, one viewer wrote: ''At first, I thought that Wolf was David Essex, then Marti Pellow, and now I'm back to David Essex!''
A second said: ''Wolf is David Essex? He was in EastEnders,'' and a third added: ''Wolf = David Essex.''
