The third series of ITV singing show The Masked Singer is really hotting up, with the entire nation tuning in every weekend to try and guess what celebrity faces are hiding under the masks of Poodle, Rockhopper and Traffic Cone.

As fans and judges Davina McCall, Rita Ora, Mo Gilligan and Jonathan Ross try to figure out all the clues, comedian Rob Beckett has been causing a stir after he accidentally posted a tweet about being Traffic Cone.

The podcast host and Celebs Go Dating narrator sent out a tweet during Saturday’s show that fans thought was sent from his ‘social media team’.

The tweet, that hasn't been deleted, read: 'Just send this out once I've been unmasked.

'Thanks for all the support being the Traffic Cone I absolutely loved it. Great show. The kids couldn’t believe it was me.'

Despite the ‘mistake’, fans of Rob were convinced that he was trying to be funny and not attempting to drop show spoilers.

One fan wrote: ‘Nice try!!’

Another added: ‘You nearly had me then! Panic ran through me having watched it after being "out" last night. Had to rewatch the end! Good one.’

Rob himself also tried to dispel the rumours that he could be Traffic Cone on Monday (17th January) evening: ‘I’m loving the fact people think I have a social media team. All crowded round me filming me eat chicken by a bin.’

There’s been so many guesses about who could be hiding under Traffic Cone, with many thinking it could be Mark Wright, Tom Jones and Aled Jones.

Bagpipes was revealed in the most recent episode of The Masked Singer, with Doughnuts, Mushroom, Firework, Panda, Poodle, Robobunny, Rockhopper and Traffic Cone still in the running.

Who has been rumbled on The Masked Singer?

Panda - WINNER

Panda was crowned the third winner of The Masked Singer, with 'Torn' singer Natalie Imbruglia being behind the mask.

Mushroom - SECOND PLACE

Mushroom made it all the way to final, but was pipped to victory by Panda. Turns out it was Welsh singer Charlotte Church behind the mask!

Robobunny - THIRD PLACE

Robobunny had us all guessing throughout the series, but it was Westlife singer Mark Feehily under the mask! The star finished in third place behind Mushroom and Panda.

Rockhopper

RUMBLED: Destiny's Child singer Michelle Williams shocked the judges when she revealed herself as Rockhopper during the double elimination on Saturday 5th February!
