Viewers were convinced they worked out the incredible voice behind the extraordinary costume was Charlotte Church after deciphering a code that appeared at the end of Mushroom's VT.

The numbers "345997" appeared on screen and fans claimed if you entered the number into a keypad mobile phone you would get "elgwys", which is Welsh for church.

Mushroom performed alongside Aston Merrigold's Robin in tonight's final show and progressed all the way to the last two.

Viewers' suspicions were confirmed when the character was revealed to be Charlotte Church after she was announced as this years runner's up.
