Tuesday night’s episode of The Masked Singer saw the identity of the Rhino revealed. And for once, viewers weren’t surprised – thanks to a major spoiler leaking online.
After a correct guest from judge Jackie O Henderson, the ‘mystery’ performer turned out to be retired rugby star Wendell Sailor.

However, many of the viewers at home appeared to know who was under the Rhino mask long before Wendell revealed himself.
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, but screenshots of the Wiki page were already circulating online.
“That was the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” Wendell confessed after taking off his mask, admitting 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.”
However, despite the sports star’s lack of confidence, judge Lindsay Lohan was keen to reassure him.
“I think your singing was so great,” she said.
