Announcing the release, Charlie shared a video on Instagram which showed him removing a different rhino mask, and penned: “Well this has been a hard secret to keep. Reading all of your comments each week has been awesome.

“I’ve been so blown away by the support so I’ve decided to release a few songs I sang on the show as an EP named KIFARU the Swahili word for Rhino. I hope you like it, big love x.”

During the series final, Phoenix finished in second place and was unmasked as Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson, while All Saints star Natalie Appleton was unveiled as Fawn, who finished third overall.
