Britain's Got Talent viewers are convinced they've worked out the voice behind last night's CGI cat, Noodle - who impressed the live studio audience and judging panel alike with an impressive rendition of Nina Simone's Feeling Good.
Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli erupted into applause after the unique animated feline belted out the classic track, in truly spectacular fashion.
The CGI cat coughed up a quick furball before announcing: "Okay, let's go," as the iconic piano intro began playing.

Toe tapping and with a Union Jack tied around its neck, Alesha admitted: "This might be the most bizarre thing I've ever seen," while the fellow judges and audience members alike were left completely flabbergasted by what was unfolding in front of them.

And after a devoted display, packed with powerful vocals, all in the studio were left on their feet cheering and clapping, grinning from ear to ear while completely bamboozled by the performance. Amanda, said: "Gee, I can't believe that voice has come out of somebody with such a tiny neck," while Bruno added: "I know, you must be Michael Buble's pussycat.
"I'm telling you, those vocals were insane."
Alesha added: "I mean, definitely, definitely the best cat vocalist we've ever had on the show, by far," while Simon, predicted: "I always said, one year a singing animal would win Britain's Got Talent - I've always said it. Now, I didn't necessarily believe it. I never thought I would one day be talking to a cat, saying how much I loved your singing voice, but I am.
"And I think Noodle, you could possibly win the show. I do, that was amazing."
All four judges gave Noodle a yes after its audition, meaning the animated delight will move onto the next round. And while viewers at home were also left in a state of amazement by the performance, others took to social media to speculate the identity behind the animation.
Taking to Twitter, one wrote: "Got a feeling that this is going to be a surprise act. Someone who's been on it but coming back to win," while another, added: "The voice sounds like that Tom Ball that was on bgt last year I think."
A third, penned: "Its Tom Ball from last years BGT. 10000%. Listen to the voice, it's him. Put money on it," while a fourth, went on: "Defo sounded like Tom Ball!"
A fifth, questioned: "Taron egerton is that you (has his singing voice)." While a seventh, said: "Sounded like Adam Lambert."
An eigthth, agreed: "A voice like that Sounds like @adamlambert to me."
And while many peculated on the identity of the cat, others just wanted to know how the set-up played out live - and what the judges were looking at during the audition. One said: "I'm so confused," while another, added: "If this was CGI what on earth were live audience seeing."
A third, continued: "I need to know what they were looking at my brain is so confused!!!!!"
Who do you think Noodle the CGI cat is? Let us know in the comments.
