Rhino's Masked Singer identity given away by Hollywood stars as Davina McCall 'cottons on'

Days before this year's Masked Singer semi-final, eagle-eyed viewers have claimed that the identity of Rhino is now beyond all doubt and it's all down to the surprise appearance of two Hollywoods stars during Saturday's show.

It took just a verse and a chorus of Snow patrol's Chasing Cars on Rhino's Masked Singer debut for many fans of the crazy and massively popular ITV show to declare that it was Charlie Simpson behind the mask, based on just his singing voice alone. Busted and Fightstar musician Charlie has always had very distinctive vocals and people were alerted to them straight away, putting their faith in Rhino being the 37-year-old, without even paying attention to any clues.

Performances from Rhino over the course of the new series so far have also included covers of Pink's Try and, most recently, Ariana Grande's Into You. That was the song that Rhino sang ahead of a brutal double elimination last weekend and, it proved to be a really turning point as Davina McCall became the first judge to guess at Charlie for Rhino.
