The Masked Singer fans think they've identified Dragon after Instagram slip

The Masked Singer fans are convinced they've identified the Dragon after a slip up on Instagram.

The company which manufactured the mermaid-style fabric used in the elaborate character's costume, Funki Fabrics, shared a picture of the Dragon and tagged a well-known star rumoured to be behind the mask.

The celebrity in question was Drag Race's Courtney Act, who has long been rumoured to be the Dragon.

Fans now think the tagging means Courtney, who rose to fame on as a singer on Australian Idol, must be behind the costume.

One commented: "Spoiler alert?" while another added: "Ooh if the ## are a spoiler I'll be super jazzed I was right but also majorly p**sed off."

Another wrote: "Courtney is literally tagged..."

However, some are still convinced it's a red herring and the star behind the dragon could be another Drag Race star - Michelle Visage.

Another wrote: "Still think it's Michelle."

Dragon was chosen as the winner of last night's show so fans will have to wait a bit longer to find out whether they have guessed right.

The show is unmasking one star every week, and last night Bush Baby was the focus of the big reveal.

The character was unveiled as Cold Feet star John Thompson.

He's been disguised as a cute furry animal and left the judges baffled.

Judges Jonathan Ross, Rita Ora, Mo Gilligan and Davina McCall failed to correctly guess John's identity despite several attempts.

Rita guessed Jamie Oliver, Davina thought it was John Torode, and Johnathan was convinced it was Gino D'Campo.

Mo said he was thrown off by the clues about magic, and John had to explain, saying: "I do magic, I was an amateur magician, but I got to the Blackpool magic convention!"
