The clues
The first clue about the Piglet, courtesy of the newly introduced Cluedle Doo, said, "Piglet knows how to stay cool, even in the heat." The clue package had the look and feel of a spoof of the popular franchise 'The Bachelor'. The Piglet was speaking just like every other lead of the popular ABC show does in their introduction which for a second led us to think that this celebrity is related to the show in some way.
"I haven't always been lucky in love. I admit I'm a bit of a hopeless romantic. I'm guilty of dropping the L-word on a second day. But when you know, you know, right?" he said while a question mark sign bounced on a romantic date bench.
"Sure I've given away a few roses, and the world saw my heartbreak, and I learned that some flowers have very sharp thorns," he said further while also adding that he's continued to wear his heart on his sleeve regardless. A tattoo featuring a pink heart with an ax through it on his forearm was one of the visual clues in the package and so was a white rose, a cracked fortune cookie with the words "golden mask" and a small clock with the time set to 6 pm set between two candles.
Is Nick Lachey the Piglet?
Judging by all the clues there's a very huge possibility that the actor, singer and TV personality Nick Lachey is the Piglet. For instance, the unlucky in love clue could be Lachey's very public divorce with his wife of four years Jessica Simpson but he did find love once again with his current wife Vanessa Minnillo. About 'The Bachelor' clues, Lachey and his wife are producers and hosts of Netflix's dating show 'Love Is Blind' which borrows some elements of its plot from ABC's show.
Coming to the staying cool in the heat clue, Lachey is a part of the boyband 98 Degrees with his brothers Drew, Justin Jeffre and Jeff Timmons. Their album cover from 1998 titled '98 Degrees and Rising' saw the bandmates posing amid raging flames and a song titled 'Heat It Up' was one of the songs on it.
The lead singer of the band Train, Pat Monahan too fits the bill as far as all the clues go. He along with the band appeared on Season 15 of 'The Bachelor' where they performed for Brad Womack and Jackie Gordon. They also covered Led Zeppelin's song 'Heartbreaker' on an album titled Train Does Led Zeppelin II and they also performed the song on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'.
