'Phoenix for the win!' - The Masked Singer viewers are certain that masked character is Dr Who icon

The Masked Singer returned to our screens on New Year's Day as viewers met the first six masked celebrities of the new series. Knitting, Jellyfish, Otter, Ghost, Cat and Mouse and Phoenix took to the stage as armchair and panel detectives attempted to work out their identities.

Viewers watching at home and celeb panellists Davina McCall, Rita Ora,Jonathan Ross and Mo Gilligan were blown away by the singing talents of the fearsome-looking Phoenix with a charming voice as they put their own stamp on the Daft Punk featuring Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers hit Get Lucky. One fan @Samanth22356123 cheered: "Phoenix for the win!!!!"

Later, Ghost became the first character to be unmasked on the celeb singing contest as football pundit and presenter Chris Kamara while Phoenix flew through to the next stage of the popular guessing game. @hulme_steph tweeted: "I know Phoenix's singing voice from somewhere and I can't think of where, it is gonna bug me so much."
