Phoenix's Masked Singer clues 'confirm' star inside costume as Ricky Wilson

Masked Singer viewers are declaring with some conviction that they know who Phoenix is and now can't 'unhear' him, with the star in question being Kaiser Chiefs singer Ricky Wilson.

While characters like Knitting, who fans are sure is Claire Richards and Rhino, who had fans convinced he was Charlie Simpson, almost as soon as he started singing look like they'd had their identities unearthed, there has been more of an air of mystery over the identity of Phoenix, particularly given the apparent nods to Doctor Who.

However, after claiming to have recognised flickers of Ricky's voice in Phoenix's performances, of Loco in Acapulco and Get Lucky, eagle eyed Masked Singer viewers have also gone on the record with how a number of clues given in VTs and riddles so far also point in Ricky's direction - including one about football, with the Kaiser Chiefs also being the name of a South African team and the appearance sticks of rock, which looks like being a nod to the cover for Kaiser Chiefs' Souvenir album.
