FANS of The Masked Singer are convinced that producers of the show TOLD Rita Ora the identity of Robobunny after she guessed his identity correctly.
The panel of celebrities have failed to work out who the celebrity behind the mask is – despite widespread speculation it was Westlife star Mark Feehily.
Mark, 41, had been thrown into the ring by a number of fans, but the judges had so far not managed to guess the mystery celebrities' identity.
However, on Saturday night, following his impressive performance of Ariana Grande's version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow, he may have been rumbled.
While her co-stars Mo Gilligan and Jonathan Ross guessed Donny Osmond and Michael Crawford, Rita, 31, was a little more on track with the thoughts of viewers.
"I'm thinking Westlife," she told show host Joel Dommett. "I'm going to go with mark, that's a new name I'm going to throw into the mix."
While many flocked to social media to congratulate Rita on her guess work, others speculated that she could have been TOLD the answer.
"It's really annoying when the judges, usually Rita, just guess a name randomly and don't even give a reason why," one viewer wrote to Twitter.
"Like I know Robobunny is Mark, but how the heck did Rita just randomly 'guess' him? No reason why? It just popped into her head? I don't think so."
"What a shock, as we near the final Rita suddenly thinks of someone she's likely never heard of, convenient," a second chimed in.

A third went on to ask: "Do you think the producers drop a few hints if the judges are nowhere near guessing them correctly?"
A fourth replied: "Every series Rita does this a couple of times – I think it might be in her contract?"
It comes after fans thought that Dancing On Ice star Rhia Hebden had given away that Robobunny was Mark when she broke clues on Friday's show.
She explained that a police badge in Robobunny's VT might have pointed towards the themed opening of Westlife's World of Our Own video.
She also noted how the bunny wearing cowboy boots could have been representative of Westlife's trip to Nashville.
"With the builders' hat, could this link to when Westlife were battling it out against Bob the Builder in the charts and they missed out?" she told Lorraine.
But Ria saved perhaps the biggest piece of evidence for last – leaving Lorraine open-mouthed.
"That's not all Lorraine," Ria said. "Because if you look at the back of Robobunny there's a QR code and when you scan that it actually takes you to a website where it says 'my royal barcode is 200019992003'.
"And those are the years when Westlife performed at the Royal Variety Performance."
A visibly shocked Lorraine replied: "Stop it! Wow."
She added: "I think that is astonishing detective work, I take my hat off to you – that is incredible!"
