In episode four of The Masked Singer Australia, the man behind the Rhino costume was identified.
After a correct guess from panellist Jackie O Henderson, the mystery performer was revealed to be non-other than rugby league star Wendell Sailor.
However, before the big reveal, fans watching at home allegedly already knew the outcome of Tuesday night’s episode ahead of time.

According to The Daily Mail, fans had shared screenshots from Wendell’s Wikipedia page before his identity was revealed.
Underneath the section about the Wallabies star’s television career, it read “He also appeared as Rhino on the Masked Singer for Channel 10 in Australia.”
The publication also revealed that the line had been mysteriously deleted from the website before the episode concluded.
However, it was too late, as the screenshot had already made its rounds on Twitter.
When Wendell was revealed as the masked singer behind the Rhino costume, he admitted that it was a huge challenge.
“That was the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” Sailor said, adding that he’s “not much of a singer”.
“Like, I’d rather play an Origin or grand final.
“And also, I get claustrophobic, so this is more terrifying, coming out here, having to perform. Learning the song, learning to dance, obviously the crowd.”
Wendell claimed he joined the show to “test himself.”
“I don’t think I can really sing. I just love music and I love people and I love testing myself.”
However, panellist Lindsay Lohan was quick to reassure him of his talent.
“I think your singing was so great,” she said.
