ITV The Masked Singer's Mushroom identity 'solved' as fans spot secret gesture

Fans of The Masked Singer are convinced they have solved the identity of Mushroom.

The character is one of the 12 celebrities competing in this season of the hit ITV show.

Joel Dommett has returned to host the third series of the singing programme where viewers have once again been demanding that celebrities "take it off"

Judges Davina McCall, RIta Ora, Jonathan Ross and Mo Gilligan have been back in their detective chairs to guess the voice behind the costume.

Michael Owen and Jaime Winstone were unmasked in last week's double elimination and viewers have been wracking their brains to work out the voices behind the remaining characters in the competition.

Fans think they have finally worked out the incredible singing voice behind the Mushroom costume.

Mushroom has thrilled audiences with impressive renditions of Demi Lovato's Stone Cold - and Gnarls Barkley's Crazy.

The character placed their little finger by their mouth on the show and one eagle-eyed viewer pointed out that Charlotte Church performed the exact same gesture.

Other fans have predicted the Welsh singing sensation is behind the costume after deciphering a code that appeared at the end of Mushroom's VT last week.

The numbers "345997" appeared on screen and fans claimed if you entered the number into a keypad mobile phone you would get "elgwys", which is Welsh for church.

Sam said: "I think I've worked this one out from the phone number 345997 = spells out eglwys in welsh = church = DEFO Charlotte Church!"

Andy added: "345997 = eglwys which is Welsh for church!"

Megan commented: "Yep! Also can I just say that if you put 345997 into the old fashioned phone (where you click a number several times to get a letter), if you put that number into an old fashioned phone you get eglwys. So go into google translate now and search up what eglwys means in eng"

Dafydd posted : "As a Welsh speaker I’m telling you eglwys is spelt like that 345997. It’s Charlotte"

The Masked Singer airs at 7pm on Saturday on ITV and ITV Hub
