The Masked Singer fans have ‘rumbled’ Kingfisher as a Strictly Come Dancing star.

Viewers of the ITV show are convinced that the celebrity pretending to be the animal character is none other than Nick Knowles, 62, ahead of the latest episode.

One riddle that the character read out to try and help viewers figure out their identity said: ‘Fishing and planting, digging and mowing, to reap the rewards, you’d better get sowing.’

Those watching at home took to discussion website to share their theory about the DIY SOS presenter.

One pointed out: ‘I have a weird feeling Kingfisher is Nick Knowles.

‘I’m definitely wrong because I’m never right with this show but if you look up his albums I feel like it’s similar, but I think I’ve probably convinced myself to think it does.’

While another replied: ‘I thought the same thing on Saturday! I’m sure I’m not right but would be awesome if we were.’

‘The DIY clues definitely lead me to think of DIY SOS, but my mind went to Billy Byrne,’ a third added.

Many others rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to say the same thing.

One said: ‘I think kingfisher is nick Knowles #maskedsinger.’

Another wrote: ‘Nick Knowles #Kingfisher #maskedsinger.’

A third chimed in: ‘Snail – Paloma Faith Kingfisher – Nick knowles #maskedsinger.’

Kingfisher’s first clue was: ‘Welcome. Let’s get acquainted. I’m Kingfisher. The most majestic of all the birds.

‘Well, at least I think so. Kingfishers can fly all over, enjoying the great outdoors. And there’s nothing better than a nice relaxing day down by the water. Don’t you agree?

Other viewers took to X to share their thoughts that Kingfisher could be Nick

‘A bird’s eye view of the world passing by. And I’m ready to swoop onto The Masked Singer stage.

‘The one show I’ve been waiting for. I’ve earned respect in my chosen career, and now it’s time for another feather in my fishing cap.

‘I’m no warbler, but I have been known to showcase my kingfisher chorus from time to time. Maybe I’ll get a taste for it.

‘Kingfishers don’t fish for kings, but I have caught a prince or two in my time. Well, the feathers are preened, I’ve dressed for success.

‘Hopefully, I’ll make it through with flying colours tonight.’

So far Kingfisher has performed Goo Goo Dolls’ tune Iris and The Rainbow Connection from The Muppet Movie.

Kingfisher, Wolf, Teeth, Snail, Pufferfish, Dressed Crab, Bush and Bear are the remaining characters in the competition.

Nick took part in 22nd series of Strictly Come Dancing last year.

The TV star had to pull out of the competition after hurting his knee during rehearsals.

Since then he’s had to undergo two knee operations.

Earlier this week he was seen soaking up the sunshine after his injuries.
