Masked Singer's Charlie Simpson wins as Rhino to put an end to identity 'spat' between viewers

After weeks of keeping millions of viewers thoroughly entertained, Rhino won The Masked Singer on Saturday night, putting an end to arguments between fans over his identity as Charlie Simpson was revealed as the new champion.

It was back at the start of January that Rhino made his debut on the hit ITV show, covering Snow Patrol's Chasing Cars for his first performance. And that was all it took for many viewers to decide that Rhino was Charlie, largely down to the Busted star's instantly recognisable voice.

It took until a few weeks ago for one of the panel to guess that it could be Charlie behind the mask, with Davina McCall the first judge to finally cotton on to what Masked Singer viewers had been saying for weeks. As well as Charlie's singing voice giving him away, fans' convinced it was him had their theory backed up by several clear hints in Rhino's many VTS during his time on the programme.
