Alien was revealed to be Sophie Ellis-Bextor the pop icon.

Host Joel Dommett broke down some of the clues: "Because you had the crime scene thing, murder on the dance floor - there was a moment when I thought you were my wife.

"The clue was the battle - am I right in thinking you were in an episode of Game of Thrones?"

Sophie then revealed she was in an episode of Game of Thrones.

A few Cheryl fans thought it might have been the Girls Aloud star behind the alien mask.

One person on Twitter wrote after seeing all the speculation: “Just want the masked singer to give us an ad of the alien singing so people can shut up about it being Cheryl.”

The Masked Singer continues Saturday nights at 7pm on ITV.
