THE Masked Singer fans are convinced that they’ve already worked out who Phoenix is.
Eagle-eyed viewers have been busy getting their guesses in early and think Lucifer actor Tom Ellis is behind the mask.
After Phoenix took to the stage, the judges were convinced the masked singer could be an actor with the way they were delivering their clue package.
Judge Mo said the VT tape even gave him Game of Thrones vibes.
The singer behind the Phoenix costume then went on to say they had risen from the ashes and were good at reinventing themselves and that they were familiar with reincarnation.
Viewers think this could be a clue to the fantasy television series Lucifer.
While some fans are convinced they’ve identified his distinctive voice after a rendition of Daft Punk’s Get Lucky.
One wrote: “Over the past two months I devoured every episode of Lucifer on Netflix, and can now say I am totally convinced the Phoenix is Tom Ellis! The voice and most of the clues seem to fit? Oooh hope I’m right just so we get to see him! #MaskedSingerUK”
Another posted: “Watching #maskedsinger on demand…..surely Phoenix is Lucifer himself??? Tom Ellis????”
A third fan went one step further and listed all the clues: “Phoenix = Tom Ellis
“Attractive clue = sexiest actor alive 2022 glamour magazine Reinventing themselves clue = ? Immortal/detective clue= Lucifer Game of Thrones clues = ? Riddle: I’ve been a catchphrase = The devil made me do it.”
Someone else echoed: “Phoenix is Tom Ellis on #maskedsinger he can sing and he was on lucifer which makes reference to all the fire and reincarnation clues. He also helps the detective solve the murders.”
“I think Tom Ellis Is Phoenix because he was a devil in Lucifer,” another echoed.
The famous celebrity behind the mask also hinted that as a youngster they were very quiet.
So far, guesses from viewers include Doctor Who star David Tennant or Kaiser Chiefs singer Ricky Wilson.
The first celebrity to be revealed was none other than Chris Kamara who was dressed as Ghost.
The bottom three acts were Cat and Mouse, Knitting and Ghost.
The former footballer and TV presenter is the first to be eliminated from this year’s Masked Singer.
Kammy, who is living with the condition apraxia of speech, took many fans by surprise, with actor Louis Emerick writing on Twitter: “Wow! Didn’t see that!!! Well in mate.”
Another viewer said: “Wow.. Ghost! Amazing reveal!! Did not think of him at all.”
A third commented: “Well i was completely wrong with Ghost.”
When Ghost first took to the stage to sing The Drifters’ Save The Last Dance For Me, viewers questioned if producers ran out of money before creating the character’s look.
It was very basic, comprising of a white sheet with large eyes and red boots.
One viewer said: “Obviously run out of budget when it got to ghosts costume.”
Another posted: “Whoever ghost is spent their costume budget on stuff other than the costume.”
