Fans thought they figured it out that it could be Michelle Keegan.

Even judge Jonathan Ross was certain that the cryptic hints given by the masked celebrity pointed towards Firework being Michelle.

The mystery star called themselves a "pocket rocket" in week one, as well as linking themselves to "style", fashion and design.

Viewers flooded Twitter to insist that the mystery celebrity was Michelle, due to her success of being picked from "900 applicants" for her Corrie role.

"Firework sounds so much like Michelle Keegan," one wrote, as a second chimed in: "Michelle Keegan beat 900 other people to get the role of Tina on Corrie."

"Firework is Michelle Keegan – she beat 900 people for her role and broke off her engagement with Max," a third fan penned.

"Definitely Michelle Keegan, no doubt whatsoever," a fourth concluded, as a fifth agreed: "Firework is 100% Michelle Keegan."
