The Masked Singer UK fans say they know Knitting's identity thanks to Instagram hint

The Masked Singer UK fans believe they have figured out Knitting's identity after a star dropped a clue on social media. The well-loved ITV show returned to screens last night, as celebrity judges Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Rita Ora and Mo Gilligan came together to figure out the famous voices singing from underneath bizarre costumes.

Knitting - or the crooner who sported a wool and knitting needles disguise - hit the stage again on Saturday for their second performance of the series. Viewers believed they had already figured out her identity from several signs in last week's episode, but now an online clue has confirmed many fans' beliefs, Birmingham Live reports.

Initial hints suggested Claire Richards from Steps to be the voice behind the mask. Among them was a lone magpie appearing to reference the group's hit One for Sorrow. A second tip-off was a number mentioned in a riddle that is the sum of 5,6,7,8 - another one of the pop band's hits.
