ITV The Masked Singer's Rockhopper 'exposed' as US popstar when fans decipher code

Viewers of The Masked Singer are convinced they have worked out Rockhopper's secret identity.

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

Rockhopper has wowed audiences with amazing renditions of Tina Turner's We Don't Need Another Hero and Miley Cyrus' Edge of Midnight.

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

The panel has guessed famous faces such as Jamelia, Ashley Roberts and Alesha Dixon could be the incredible voice behind the Rockhopper outfit.

However, viewers are convinced it is Destiny's Child star Michelle Williams after deciphering the XLVII code emblazoned on the back of the character's leather jacket.

Fans identified this is the Roman numerals representation of 47, which viewers are convinced is a reference to how Destiny's Child performed at the 47th edition of the Super Bowl.

David said: "Rockhopper is 100% Michelle Williams from Destiny's Child. Played at Blackout Bowl and XLVII on the back of her jacket."

Becky tweeted : "Rockhopper is Michelle Williams from Destiny’s Child for definite. XLVII Blackout bowl, the three tarot cards last week were all Williams. Prove me wrong."

Bernie messaged: "Rockhopper is Michelle Williams XVIII on her back is referring to Super Bowl half time show."

Hayley posted : "I think Rockhopper is Michelle Williams from Destiny's Child. On the back of her jacket it says 'XLVII' and Destiny's Child performed at the XLVII Superbowl in 2013. She has also been in the Broadway Musical 'Aida' which had music by Elton John."

Dean added: "Rockhopper is Michelle Williams from Destiny's Child. She had roman numerals on her back of the Super Bowl blackout game in which destiny's child performed."

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