But despite wowing audiences with her incredible voice, fans have been up in arms as she exited the competition.

Viewers of the show, presented by Joel Dommett, have accused the show of a 'fix' as other contestants remain in the show with voices they deem to be not as good as Claire, 45.

One fan said: "Why are people voting for chumps who can't actually sing??? This is a fix."

Another wrote: "How can knitting be out when otter is still there what a fix.";

Fans of the noughties legend also expressed disappointment as they thought the star could have potentially won the show.

One viewer commented: "I wanted you to win! But you did so well!"

A second viewer noted: "You were AMAZING. Think you should have stayed in."

Well done Claire! Though sad you didn’t get to stay longer xxx

Meanwhile another exclaimed: "You was robbed Claire."

A fourth wrote: "Sorry Claire should of won!"

And a fifth said: Just don't understand why she was voted off.

"The winner is supposed to be the best singer not the funniest outfit.";

Whilst a sixth commented: "I genuinely thought Knitting/Claire was going to win Masked Singer this year. But then again sometimes it’s all about the costume/charisma."

Knitting was unmasked in typically dramatic fashion, leaving Masked Singer fans across the globe gobsmacked.
