Claire Richards has thrown a 'curveball' into the speculation that she is Knitting on The Masked Singer, with a Twitter post that fans are claiming is an deliberate move to throw people off the scent, as the Steps star declared it's someone else hiding behind the mask.
When Knitting made her debut on the first series of The Masked Singer's new series on New Year's Day, a whole host of celebrities were guessed by both the panel in the studio and ITV viewers at home. The appearance of a magpie and the number 2002, led plenty of people to believe iy might be Cheryl hiding inside the costume, while a mention of the word 'crafting' sent others in the direction of well known crafting queens Stacey Solomon and Sara Davies.
However, for fans of Steps it took just the first chorus of Knitting's debut performance to draw the conclusion that Knitting is Claire, especially after clues related to 56,7,8 and the magpie, which they argued was a clear nod to Steps it One for Sorrow.
