The Masked Singer fans have been gathering all the clues to figure out the identity of the famous faces behind this year's costumes, and some viewers are certain that Conkers is a Coronation Street legend.
After Conkers' most recent appearance ahead of tonight's show, many think the clues point towards Richard Fleeshman, who played Craig Harris on ITV's Coronation Street from 2002 to 2006.
In the last clue package, Conkers wore a knight's armour and stood outside a castle.
A treasure chest with two padlocks could be seen, with Conkers holding some keys as he delivered some cryptic clues.

He was also holding a heart made of Lego and was cooking over a campfire.
Conkers was later spotted reading a book called Sam's Tavern Songs for a Knightly Knees-up, and stated in his last appearance: "If you’re looking for a 'knight' to remember, you’ve come to the right place."
He went on: "With these spikes, I can 'Lancelot' and most of the time, I hit my mark. I suppose we’re all playing a part here, aren’t we?
"It doesn't take much to put a fight in this knight. Although ghosts don’t scare me. Is the stage set? Right, it’s time for me to put my training to the test, for honour, hope and glory!"

Taking to the forum site Reddit, fans speculated who Conkers might be, with some citing Mr Fleeshman.
Despite some on social media guessing it could be Corrie's Sam Aston, who has played Chesney Brown on the soap since 2003, new evidence suggests his former co-star might be more likely.
One eagle-eyed fan wrote: "Okay, guys, pulling a rabbit out of a hat here, but Conkers has stumped a lot of us, but I think I finally have it. I think it is Richard Fleeshman.
"He was in Corrie in 2002, he appeared in Ghost and the character he played was called Sam.

"He plays the piano, hence the keys. The heart could be because all the small things were called heart and soul in Australia."
Responding, other Reddit users threw a different Corrie star into the mix. "Could be Les Dennis," one suggested.
"Ghost - he was in Ghost the Musical. Sam - He worked with Samantha Womack in The Addams Family Musical.
"Heart - He was a duo with Dustin Gee and sadly died due to a heart attack years ago."

Last weekend, it was Gargoyle who was exposed following a performance of Bring Me to Life by Evanescence.
Despite some of the judges and fans predicting Gargoyle could be Ruby Wax, they were unmasked as Marcella Detroit from Shakespears Sister.
She told host Joel Dommett: "I have had an incredible time, the people, except you, the people have been so nice and wonderful, and you’re so cute.
“And you’re all great, I mean, thank you.”
