The Masked Singer fans battle it out as Rhino theories split between two popstars

The Masked Singer fans have been battling it out on social media ahead of the semi-finals, as they debate who could be underneath the Rhino costume.

With the last instalment of the ITV show just a week away, Jellyfish, Phoenix, Rhino, Jacket Potato and Fawn take to the stage in the semi-final with host Joel Dommett once again hosting.

Once again judging panellists Rita Ora, Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall and Mo Gilligan try to guess their identities, accompanied by guest panellist Peter Crouch.

The semi-final is a double elimination, so two contenders will be unmasked at the end of the show, leaving three to compete in the final.

As the fourth series winds to an end and each of the 12 mystery celebrities are finally unmasked from under their elaborate costumes, Masked Singer fans are divided on the identity of Rhino.

While there is a strong contingent who believe it is X Factor alum James Arthur, many other fans are certain Rhino is in fact Busted star Charlie Simpson.

During the latest clue package, American actors Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn appeared on wanted posters.

This led some fans to link the stars to the film Wedding Crashers, and in turn, the Busted song Crashed the Wedding.

Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: “HOWWWWWW are people still saying Rhino is James Arthur?! It's SO obviously Charlie Simpson!! I don't even need the clues but even they all lead to him. I'm getting so wound up about this.”

A second echoed: “I don't get how the people who think Rhino is James Arthur (or anyone besides Charlie Simpson) are just ignoring all the clues!

“Even if you don't know Charlie's voice as well as we do, like, how are you linking anything to James? Genuinely curious!”

A third added: “I take back my earlier guess of James Arthur for Rhino. After the Owen Wilson photo, wedding crashers, crashed the wedding. Charlie Simpson 100%”

However, other fans were firm in their belief, as one tweeted: “Rhino is DEFINITELY James Arthur…” and another wrote: “If Rhino isn't James Arthur, he sounds like James Arthur when he sings. Lol.”

A fellow fan added: “My 12 year old has just said “Rhino is James Arthur. Because rhinos have bad eye sight and James Arthur used to wear glasses” … Where did that come from??? is he onto something! Get him on the panel!”

The Masked Singer airs Saturdays on ITV at 7pm.
