The security employed by Channel 10 to protect the sacred identities of their celebrities on The Masked Singer has been likened to that of a military mission.

Indeed, only four Channel 10 executives know the furry animals’ true identities – such is the extreme length the network has gone to, to keep the competing stars a secret.

It’s unfortunate, hence, that approximately every Australian knows who the howling Wolf is.

So far, we (almost definitely) know Cody Simpson is the smooth-moving Robot and Kate Ceberano is the Lion. And now, we’re almost certain we have discovered who the Wolf is, too.

It’s Rob Mills and I have proof, please.

After computing all the evidence, it is practically irrefutable that Rob Mills is currently pretending to be a wolf for Dave Hughes. Yes, that is a big call. No, you won't hear from me again should I be wrong.

Who is the wolf on The Masked Singer Australia?

It's (probably) Rob Mills. Let me present the facts:

Clue: "Am I the wolf? I have that reputation. Maybe that’s why I’m up all night."

Evidence: In 2004, Mills released his first album, 'Up All Night'.

Clue: "As a pup, I was keen on sport," the wolf explained while holding an AFL ball.

Evidence: In 2012, Mills revealed to the Daily Telegraph that he played AFL until he was 18-years-old, when his dad encouraged him to pursue singing instead.

Watch: The Wolf performs on The Masked Singer Australia. Post continues after video. 

Clue: "I know how to draw attention in a competition," AND, "Although I wasn't the runt of the littler, I wasn't number one either."

Evidence: Mills was on the first season of Australian Idol in 2003, and made it to the top five.

Clue: "I am a triple threat."

Evidence: Indeed, Mills is a singer, television host and actor.

Clue: "You won't find this wolf in the same place I started."

Evidence: Although he started out as a singer, he's now known for playing Fin Kelly on Neighbours.

Clue: "I’ve been an apprentice a couple of times."

Evidence: Before becoming a singer, Mills completed an electrical apprenticeship. Then in 2013, Robert Mills competed on Celebrity Apprentice.

Clue: Posters of Kylie Minogue and Holly Valance in the room.

Evidence: Both actresses were on Neighbours before him.

Clue: "Getting to where I am now is a miracle, like walking on water."

Evidence: In 2017, Mills played Jesus in rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar.

It's. Just. Too. Obvious.

Sorry, Channel 10. Maybe next time?
