The Masked Singer UK was rocked as a celebrity stormed off stage instead of revealing their identity.

The hidden star was seemingly disappointed to have been voted off the ITV singing competition, and instead of going into the usual unmasking, they just walked away.

In dramatic scenes set to air on Saturday’s show, the contestant – who is either Pufferfish, Bear, Toad in the Hole, Wolf or Bush – will be seen storming off.

‘It was absolutely bonkers,’ an audience member told The Sun, revealing how the gutted world-renowned star didn’t take off their mask as planned before singing for the last time.

‘But instead this character turned around and shuffled off stage, which was hilarious in their costume obviously — but we were all stunned,’ they continued.

Host Joel Dommett, 39, used his skills as a stand-up comedian to keep the crowd occupied, while a source said producers were working backstage to try and coax the star back out to finish filming.

‘We knew something was going on because we saw lots of to-ing and fro-ing with crew,’ the audience member said, revealing that ‘person eventually came back on stage’.

Those in the studio were ‘even more intrigued’ to find out their identity, while the outlet has not published the name of the celebrity in question.

‘The celebrity was basically gutted and upset to be leaving the competition so soon,’ the insider added.

While the identity of the masked stars remains a mystery, fans have been giving their own theories online, including some viewers thinking Toad in the Hole could be a huge star.

`Macy Gray = Toad in the Hole`, a super fan said, while another added: `If Toad in the hole is not Macy Gray, then I need hearing aids.`

Line of Duty star, Vicky McClure picked up on the celebrity’s `recognisable` voice and exclaimed `I genuinely feel I`ve got this!`

Appearing on the panel earlier this week, she pointed to the clue in the VT, `try not to croak and stumble` – which is a line from one of the R&B icon’s most famous songs.

When it comes to Wolf, the panel have thrown out names like Phil Spencer, Simon Le BonDavid Tennant and Bono, while Bear has led to Sir Patrick Stewart, Gordon Ramsay and more big names being mentioned.

For Pufferfish, there is speculation she could be Nicole Richie, Hayden Hanettiere, Kelly Osbourne or Stacey Solomon.

ITV has declined to comment.

The Masked Singer returns Saturday at 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
