The Masked Singer fans 'solve Rockhopper's identity' as Pussycat Dolls star

The Masked Singer UK fans have shared some theories on the identity of new character Rockhopper.

As Rockhopper took to the stage, there appeared to be some clues that fans were left to figure out - while the character also dropped some big hints in their VT.

Jonathan Ross, Mo Gilligan, Rita Ora and Davina McCall began revealing who they thought it could be, after noting some of the hints revealed to them and viewers.

As usual, viewers watching at home had their own theories, and different names were soon thrown into the mix.

Clues included the circus, the ability to jump, making headlines as 'being the first' and they also had an American accent.

Davina pointed out Pussycat Dolls star Kimberly Wyatt appeared on a TV series called The Jump, while her group started out as a burlesque troupe.

Kimberly is American too, and fans were sure whoever it was had to have been in a girl group.

Taking to Twitter, fans began sharing who they believed was under the costume, and Kimberly was repeated a lot.

One fan said: "Rockhopper is Kimberley Wyatt."

Another agreed: "Rockhopper - initial thoughts is that it's one of the Pussycat Dolls - Kymberly Wyatt or Ashley Roberts..."

A third added: "Kimberly Wyatt = Rockhopper," as a third tweeted: "Rockhopper may be Kimberly Wyatt."

On Saturday night, Chandelier was the first character to be unmasked in the first episode of series three.

Heather Small was revealed to be the mystery celebrity under the costume, leaving the judges in shock.

She confessed she put on a voice to disguise her own distinctive vocals, meaning no one guessed it was her.

As viewers guessed away at home, no one successfully worked out Heather was Chandelier.

Instead, guesses included Jane McDonald, Elaine Paige, Rachel Riley and Debbie McGee.

Speaking about doing the show, Heather said: "I’d seen Gabrielle and Joss Stone saying how much fun it was and in these most challenging of times a little bit fun is good for everyone."

On keeping it all a secret, she added: "I would say it is difficult, especially when you are with one of the nosiest people on the planet – my mother!"

The Masked Singer UK continues Saturday at 7pm on ITV.
