Perhaps the biggest clue was the detection of a Liverpudlian accent, while references to DIY and cleaning led some to think of Claire's time hosting 60 Minute Makeover.
However, Claire is a renowned stage performer and Rat's vocals maybe weren't as polished as the Corrie and Brookside actress's.
Despite this, one viewer wrote on X: "Claire Sweeney 60 minute makeover [thumbs up emoji]."
Another posted: "Rat, Claire Sweeney."

The judges nearly all guessed it would be superstar Dionne Warwick, but were still shocked to see her behind the mask.
Dionne, 85, is a five-time Grammy Award-winning recording artist.
Those watching at home were baffled as to how she got sent home so quickly - and suggested she had just signed up to do one episode.
Speculating about her early exit, one person wrote: "If Dionne Warwick is voted of #MaskedSingerUK 1st then there must be a 1 week contract available for those who want to take part but not for too long. Unless they just don't want to pretend Weather is not her for another week?"
A second said: "Dionne Warwick clearly had a "one episode only" deal."
While a third added: "#TheMaskedSinger is def a fix! They knew it was Dionne Warwick and woulda kept her in for being the legend that she is. Something fishy going on."
