Masked Singer's Phoenix identity 'rumbled' as Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson

Masked Singer fans have been left "shook" after Phoenix's identity was revealed as Leeds legend and Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson.

Fans of the hit ITV show, hosted by Joel Dommett, were convinced that Phoenix was frontman Ricky from the very start. Earlier in the series, Sky Sports football pundit Chris Kamara was unmasked as Ghost and Pigeon was revealed to be Katherine Ryan.

But as Phoenix was announced as the star in second spot the judges and audience were left in "shock" as it was revealed to actually be Ricky Wilson.
