Who is Phoenix? Masked Singer star's identity exposed ahead of final in string of clues

Phoenix is one of the remaining three Masked Singer stars - and fans are sure they know who's behind the mask.

After weeks, we are left with just three celebrities masquerading as Fawn, Rhino and Phoenix, and with the final airing tonight, fans are convinced they know who is keeping the audience in the dark about their identity.

Ahead of the final, we've got all the clues about Phoenix ahead of their last attempt to keep their mask on and take home the top prize on the ITV show, hosted by Joel Dommett and featuring Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan, Rita Ora and Jonathan Ross as judges.

In their first episode, Phoenix said they were familiar with reincarnation.

"Well hi. How do you do? Phoenix! Pleasure. I am rather hot aren't I? But we all know the legend, the phoenix," they said in the opening show, as they revealed clues about who they are, "The bird of fire. Rising from the ashes blind.

"Of course I'm familiar with reincarnation. It's a mystery, but I know how to follow a trail. However, a phoenix chick? They're quiet. They go unnoticed. Then they burst into flames and set the world on fire. Well tonight I'm spreading my wings. Watch me light up the stage."

And from there, a riddle was revealed - which left fans even more puzzled.

"I'm all flame and fire, my feathers ablaze, it may intrigue you to learn, I've been a catchphrase."

Since then, clues have emerged which includes the person saying they are good at "following a trail" as well as being shown inspecting some footprints using a magnifying glass. Elsewhere, they hinted they could be in the movie industry but they said they had never set out to "tread the boards", whilst two sticks of rock was shown as another clue.

Some fans are convinced it could be David Tennant behind the mask, thanks to the constant reincarnation clues, whilst others are predicting it could be Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson.

Another wild suggestion is that it could be Michael Sheen behind the mask, pretending to be his good friend David Tennant.

Whoever it is, we won't know for sure until the mask finally comes off this weekend.
