The Masked Singer star Knitting has been revealed as one of the biggest names in pop music after people worked out a string of clues.
Viewers of the hit ITV show have been taking to social media since the launch episode on Sunday to try and work out who is behind the huge mask.
Each episode of the programme sees a celebrity “unmasked” after the panel of famous judges attempt to discover their true identity before a studio audience votes for their favourite character.

But after just one episode, it appears that Knitting hasn’t masked their identity all that well with fans flocking in their hundreds with their views.

Social media users believe that the character is none other than pop music royalty Claire Richards – more commonly known as Claire from Steps.
This theory has been fuelled further by her bandmate Ian ‘H’ Watkins who has taken to social media to share his reaction to hearing the powerful voice of Knitting.
In view of his 116,000 Instagram followers, the 46-year-old shared a clip of Knitting while cutting back to his face to show his reaction as the character belted off Becky Hill’s Better Off Without You eating Shift K3Y.

Throughout the short clip, H could be seen with a shocked look on his face before moving his ear closer to the headphone to pay more attention to the voice.
Captioning his upload, he wrote: “#TheMaskedSinger #knitting #knittingmaskedsinger #clairefromsteps,” alongside a confused emoji and a knitting ball.
His post was soon swamped with fans who also believe the power vocalist is behind the grand costume, with one writing: “It has be Claire! She has such a distinctive voice and she’s such a big fan of the show…”

“Guessed straight away lol – the magpie clue – One For Sorrow,” referencing Steps Number 2 hit single.
Another commented: “She does knit, especially when on the train.”
In the past, Claire, 45, has made it no secret that she’s a fan of crafts and has even sold her own creations on social media to her adoring fans.
