Fans of The Masked Singer reckon panda's identity is 'blatantly obvious' following some major clues dropped on tonight's show (Saturday January 29).
Viewers trying to work out the star behind the cuddly panda costume think they've definitely cracked it as the character performed a rendition of Blame it on the Boogie on the latest edition of the zany ITV singing show.
Singer Olly Alexander joined judges Davina McCall, Rita Ora, Jonathan Ross and Mo Gilligan to play detective.

The all-star panel's guesses included Billie Piper, Lisa Stansfield and Pussycat Doll Kimberley Wyatt.
But fans took to Twitter to say they've definitely worked it out thanks to some major clues.
They're confident that it's former Neighbours actress and singer Natalie Imbruglia who had hits including Torn, Shiver and Big Mistake.
One clue was 'right up my street' and viewers think this points to Natalie's time on Ramsay Street playing Beth Brennan in the Australian soap.
Also during this series Panda sang the One Direction hit Story Of My Life, which fans think is a nod to Natalie being a guest judge the year the boyband were formed on The X Factor, and they also covered Torn on the show.
Smudge1208 said: "I would put a months wages on Panda being Natalie Imbruglia - guest judge on the X Factor when 1D were on, 1D covered one of her songs, she campaigns for Moon Bears and ''right up my street' has to be Ramsey Street in Neighbours."
