Masked Singer's Lionfish identity revealed as fans guess subtle clues

Will Young has been revealed as the face behind Lionfish on The Masked Singer and fans are gutted he has now left the competition.

Firework, Mushroom, Lionfish, Doughnuts and Robobunny all appeared on the second round of the ITV hit show with had the theme of Movie Week.

And the audience as usual were kept guessing up until the last minute alongside judges Rita Ora, Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan and Jonathan Ross.

Host Joel Dommett told us "prepare to be amazed" and following a group performance, Firework performed Fame.

Clues including ice skates and sports were mentioned alongside winning a gold medal.

Jonathan reckoned it was Anne-Marie and Rita thought it cold be Sinitta.

Mushroom sang a brilliant rendition of There Are Worse Things I Could Do from Grease as Rita admitted: "I thought that was extraordinary. Last week, you sound a bit Irish but now you don't and I'm so confused."

Davina also thought it was Sarah Lancashire.

Lionfish baffled with their voice, leaving judges confused as to whether they were male or female.

They labelled themselves 'a feminist', singing I Will Always Love You as Davina responded: "Beautiful. I'm completely blown away. I don't know if you're a man or a woman. I'm going to guess Macy Gray."

Mo Gilligan ventured that it could be David Walliams and Jonathan Ross volunteered Boy George.

As Doughnut took to the video with capri-corn flour, talent and golden boot syrup making a "recipe of success" ahead of Spice Girls song Spice Up your Life, Mo said: "This could be a sports person because they said result."

Jonathan laughed: "What you lacked in technical ability, you made up for in enthusiasm."

Robobunny also amazed with soulful vocals and a reference to the Village People in their video according to Mo.

As they seemed to reference line dancing, Robobunny said: "I might be a small bunny in a big mechanical suit, you're really wondering who I am now - but get in line."

A rendition of Shallow by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper made Rita decided they were a "real singer" "trying to throw the judges off".

After an audience vote, it came down to Firework and Lionfish in a sing off before the judges voted off the latter.

After Will was unmasked, he departed the show as the third to leave following Chandelier aka Heather Small and Gloria Hunniford as Snow Leopard.

Meantime 'Scottish' contestant Bagpipes will appear in tomorrow's show.
