Many of the show's fans have guessed that Firework could be former Coronation Street actor Michelle Keegan - particularly after another clue involving the name McIntyre, the surname of her soap alter ego Tina McIntyre.

However, regular panellist McCall went in a completely different direction thanks to another clue involving the name Prim, a character from The Hunger Games.

As she began to suggest Firework could be Hollywood A-lister Jennifer Lawrence, Olly Alexander who is serving as this week's guest judge looked at her in disbelief and began laughing.

But McCall insisted: "You may laugh, but Ne-Yo was on the show last year, so I'm just going to say it - I think it's Jennifer Lawrence."

There weren't many viewers in agreement, as one person tweeted: "If Firework is Jennifer Lawrence I'll eat my actual hat."

Many of the guesses focussed on Keegan as one viewer tweeted: "Firework = Michelle Keegan. She was Tina “McIntyre” in Corrie."

Someone else agreed: "Firework is definitely Michelle Keegan."

Another viewer commented: "Firework is Michelle Keegan! And yes, she has done period drama!"

And someone else added: "I’m so convinced that Firework is Michelle Keegan that if it’s not I’ll be proper annoyed."
