Who is Rhino on The Masked Singer?

Rhino was trying to keep his identity a secret in season four of The Masked Singer.

The talented singer was voted through by the audience week by week, securing a spot in the final in the ITV competition.

The character, with sparkly horns, was dressed in a red-tasselled cowboy outfit with a cowboy hat perched on its head.

His first song was Snow Patrol's version of Chasing Cars followed by P!nk's song for his second performance,

I Just Can't Wait To Be King from The Lion King was their third performance and Into You by Ariana Grande was their fourth song. 

In the semi-final, Rhino sang Little Bit of Love by Tom Grennan and Use Somebody by Kings of Leon.

And in the final he performed Before You Go by Lewis Capaldi, before singing a duet with Denise Van Outen's Fox.

Some of Rhino's clues are:

  • In their first VT, a sign appeared that said "Welcome to Cobalt".
  • "I want to make sure we have a nice fair game."
  • Rhino looked at a list of the Town Crimes
  • Riddle – "I’m chief of this town, and happy-go-lucky. But one of you guys might think I’m quite muggy."
  • The panel thought they had busted my identity
  • Tickets saying admit everyone
  • Loudest clue = Zombie
  • 10000 divided by 2X3 divided by 5=
  • If you had Tamagotchi pet rhino which era - 90s

After lifting his mask, Rhino was revealed to be Busted singer Charlie Simpson.

What were the guesses for The Masked Singer's Rhino?

Rhino had many fans convinced at the start that they knew his identity.

After many clues, fans believed the mask hid Busted's Charlie.

And Davina McCall picked that name for masked character in week six.

Others believed it could be country music legend, Billy Ray Cyrus who featured on Lil Nas X's song Old Town Road.

Some older guesses included:

However in the final, Davina and Rita Ora chose Charlie, Jonathan Ross opted for James Arthur, Mo Gilligan picked James Blunt, and guest judge Lee Mack went with a wild guess of Eminem.

Davina and Rita were proved right as Rhino lifted his head to reveal Charlie Simpson underneath.
