Fans of The Masked Singer were stunned when one of the country's greatest singers was unmasked as Lionfish.

Each week celebs showcase their singing skills in disguise under an elaborate costume and mask as a judging panel and fans at home try to guess who they are.

Tonight (Saturday January 8) it was former Pop Idol Will's turn to be eliminated.

The singer and actor rose to fame after becoming the first-ever winner of the ITV talent show Pop Idol in 2002.

He beat Gareth Gates in the final and went on to release huge hits including Leave Right Now and Your Game.

On The Masked Singer he performed a spine-tingling rendition of Dolly Parton's I Will Always Love You.

And fans couldn't get over that he was sent home over a shouting pile of doughnuts, who fans have guessed to be former Liverpool footballer Michael Owen, performing Spice Up Your Life.

@cathyogrady said on Twitter: "I love the #MaskedSinger but clearly not a talent show tonight.

"Doughnuts was by far the worst and they threw out WILL YOUNG!"

@MrDariusMcG said: "I bloody knew that was @willyoung on @MaskedSingerUK.

"Such a distinctive and recognisable voice.

"Buzzing I got a one correct this series said that as soon as he started singing tonight gutted he's been put out.
