The Masked Singer fans miss massive clue as Hedgehog accidentally 'gives away' identity

The Masked Singer's Hedgehog gave away a major clue about his true identity on Saturday night.

The prickly character seemed to accidentally 'reveal' who he is by belting out Oasis' Don't Look Back In Anger and the link to who was behind the mask was missed by fans of the talent series.

By choosing the song that is synonymous with die hard City supporter the prickly character further fuelled speculation that he is comedian Jason Manford.

Salford native Jason, 38, is a massive Manchester City fan he even holds a season ticket and regularly tweets about the team led under Pep Guardiola.

City fan Manford is sure not looking back in anger today as his City team thrashed Fulham FC in the FA cup and made it though to the fifth round - just like last night Hedgehog managed to secure a place after rocking the mic in week five of the kooky singing show.

Jason has recently addressed speculation that he is in the Hedgehog costume during an appearance on Good Morning Britain.

After revealing that his new quiz show, First & Last, had been rescheduled to make way for the Masked Singer, Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway probed him on the rumours.

Kate asked him: "Have you moved the time because you're defeating yourself?"

"I don't want to spoil the show by saying no but - no," he laughingly replied.

"My own kids asked me as well!"

However, despite denying the claims, not everyone has believed him.

Viewers quickly took to Twitter with one writing: "You sit on a throne of masked lies Jason Manford.. If he’s not hedgehog then I’m questioning everything I’ve ever been told."

Another wrote: "Not having it, @benshephard @kategarraway - @JasonManford is Hedgehog!"

*The Masked Singer airs Saturdays on ITV at 7pm
