There could be a Masked Singer shock in the offing that will stun the panel as many fans of the show are now fully sold on a theory he's a world famous rocker. And the star in question is Bon Jovi legend Richie Sambora.
When Jacket Potato made his debut earlier this month, many ITV viewers were quick to wrote off his American accent as fake and, by the time he'd reached the first chorus of Elvis anthem Viva Las Vegas, the name many people were mentioning on Twitter was former West End star and EastEnders actor Shane Richie.
While there are still a number of people on board with that particular train of thought, other Masked Singer viewers have now massively shifted their predictions to be sure Jacket Potato is globally renowned guitarist Richie.

As Jacket Potato returned to perform again on Saturday night, Richie's name was the gaining the most traction online, although the panel have yet to mention his name at all. One of the clues in Jacket Potato's latest VT was '50%' which led Davina McCall to speculate he might be part of a famous double, however, those who now believe its Richie saw this as a firm nod to the famous 'we're half way there' lyric from Bon Jovi smash Livin' on a Prayer.
Fully confident it's him behind the mask, one fan posted: Definitely Richie Sambora. The clues fit from before and this week. The 50% is 'half way there'. The slide is 'slippery when wet'. Past clues, the jar with names giving love a bad name. The biggest clue of them all, it sounds like him!"
Equally sure with their guess, another tweeted: "50% = ‘woaaah we’re halfway there’… He tried turning on the tap to a slip n slide = a reference to the Slippery When Wet album and being a foil = sidekick to Jon. Alllll the clues add up each week if you know it’s Richie Sambora"
