‘The Masked Singer UK’ fans believe they’ve rumbled the identity of Rhino. 

During the second episode of the fourth series of the singing show, six more acts took the stage in elaborate disguises for the judges and viewers at home to guess.

After Jacket Potato, Fawn, Rubbish, Pigeon, Piece of Cake and Rhino performed, Piece of Cake was eliminated and unveiled to be pop legend Lulu.

Fans on social media were also quick to speculate on the identity of other contestants, with many convinced they know who Rhino is. 

Pinpointing Busted star Charlie Simpson, they explained a number of clues including a Sheriff diary of crimes he solved – or ‘busted’ – which included an entry titled ‘Theft – 40’, which they believed referred to his song Forty Thieves.

Further to my last tweet, Rhino is Charlie Simpson from Busted. 3 arrows as 3 members, book of crimes as you've been 'busted', stars on suit and fair game for 'Fightstar' and muggy as he left Busted in 2005 causing the band to break up. Thank you goodnight #MaskedSingerUK

“Further to my last tweet, Rhino is Charlie Simpson from Busted,” tweeted one fan. “3 arrows as 3 members, book of crimes as you’ve been ‘busted’, stars on suit and fair game for ‘Fightstar’ and muggy as he left Busted in 2005 causing the band to break up. Thank you goodnight #MaskedSingerUK.”

Another speculated: “Am I reading too much into this, but Rhino from #MaskedSingerUK sounds like Charlie Simpson who has a son called Arlo and did a song called Forty Thieves…? And I wouldn’t put it past him to refer to the other Busted boys as 2 bad jokes.”

Having been unmasked at the end of the show in front of judges Rita Ora, Mo Gilligan, Davina McCall and Jonathan Ross following a performance of Ed Sheeran’s hit single Shivers, Lulu reflected on the clues she gave in her VT. 

“The well was a huge clue,” she explained, before belting out her hit single Shout: ‘Well, you make me wanna shout!’
