BRITAIN’S Got Talent fans are convinced they know who is behind The Hacker’s mask – and it is a very familiar face.
Viewers are certain the mystery act has already tried their luck on the ITV show twice before.
BGT fans think the magician hiding his face is Jack Rhodes.
Last year, Jack made it through to the final of the show but lost out on the £250,000 prize to singer Sydnie Christmas.
He had also auditioned for BGT in 2022 as The Phantom.
Britain’s Got Talent fans have been quick to share their theory on X, formerly known as Twitter.

One wrote: “I’m fairly certain The Hacker on @BGT is none other than Jack Rhodes. Similar cheeky and confident performance. He’s already been on it twice, so why not a third time?”
Another added: “The Hacker is deffo Jack Rhodes btw.”
A third said: “Definitely Jack Rhodes… drop the audio down around 9 semitones and speed it up 130% and magic its Jack Rhodes. Great act.”
And someone else agreed: “I’m pretty sure that magician was Jack Rhodes.”

The Hacker wowed the judges and viewers at home with their act on Saturday night.
The magician was seen telephoning Simon Cowell before suddenly appearing in front of him on stage.
Speaking in a high-pitched voice, The Hacker asked Simon to swap places with them, before successfully getting the judge to read their mind with the word “melon”.
He also left Simon bamboozled when he worked his magic and made the BGT mogul read everyone’s minds in the audience with a picture of an apple.
The Hacker finished their act by giving stunned Simon the Golden Buzzer.
In April 2024, Jack made it to the last two on Britain’s Got Talent.
In his first audition, he appeared as himself before revealing he was also The Phantom from BGT 2022.
He told the judges: “I’m pretty surprised you don’t recognise me. I may have been on before.
“You didn’t see me. Do you remember the invisible magician The Phantom? That might have been me.”
A clip from his first audition then played on the big screen.
Amanda Holden was shown nervously holding a pink balloon while alone on stage before it suddenly popped.
The judges were stunned to learn Jack was behind the act, which had made it to the semi-finals week two years earlier.

In 2024, following his epic comeback, some fans felt Jack had been “robbed” after he lost out at the last hurdle to singer Sydnie.
The Hacker, whether it is Jack or not, has made it through to this year’s semi-finals week.
