The Masked Singer UK spoilers follow.
The Masked Singer UK unveiled the fifth celebrity of its third series tonight (January 22), following another round of performances and clues from our costumed crooners. Tonight's episode combined the two, with the songs being clues as to their identities.
Following on from Heather Small, Gloria Hunniford, Will Young and Pat Cash, the latest episode saw Poodle unmasked as Tom Chaplin, lead singer of Keane.

No-one recognised him throughout the series, which left Jonathan Ross feeling embarrassed. The Christmas clue is in the most recent VT was a reference to 'Somewhere Only We Know' being covered by Lily Allen for a John Lewis festive advert back in 2013. The dog collar was a reference to his choirboy past, while a line about not being afraid to "busk it" referred to a Big Issue campaign he was involved with.
Going through tonight's performances in order, we had: Robobunny singing 'Dynamite' by BTS, Doughnuts singing 'Sweet Caroline' by Neil Diamond, Firework sang 'Kids' by Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue, Panda sang 'Story of My Life' by One Direction, Traffic Cone sang 'Back for Good' by Take That, Mushroom sang 'Crazy' by Gnarls Barkley, Poodle sang 'Unwritten' by Natasha Bedingfield, and Rockhopper sang 'Edge of Midnight' by Miley Cyrus.
The clue behind 'Unwritten' was Keane beating Natasha to 'Best Breakthrough Act' at the 2005 BRIT Awards.
Of the remaining singers, the judges believed Robobunny is Will Smith, Doughnuts is Alan Shearer, Michael Owen or Matt Lucas, Firework is Lacey Turner or Dani Dyer, Panda is Rebecca Ferguson or Mary Berry, Traffic cone is Michael Ball, Mushroom is Katy B or Carol Vorderman, and Rockhopper is Zara Larrson or Björk.
Will any of their guesses be right?
The Masked Singer UK returns next Saturday night (January 29) at 7pm on ITV for a double elimination.
