And the theories were confirmed yesterday as Tom emerged from behind a screen to sing as himself.

While the audience and judges were blown away, some watching at home accused the show of being rigged.

One wrote: “How is this fair? IMO if people have been on BGT before they should not be allowed back on especially if they have an album and a record deal absolutely selfish! If he gets through it’s a fix!!!”

Another said: “Ok, so he’s been successful since last year & got a record deal etc. What the hell is he doing back on the show as a cat & taking the place of another act that is still trying to get their break??”

Bushy eyebrowed teacher Tom came close to winning last year’s show.

Despite missing out on first place to comedian Axel Blake, he has still managed to forge a huge career off the back of it.

After unveiling himself, Tom admitted his BGT success has already led to a Stateside performance on America’s Got Talent: All Stars, he has a tour planned and has even signed a record deal.

Viewers were sceptical about Simon Cowell’s insistence that he “didn’t know” who Noodle really was.

And some even called for Tom to be “axed” from the contest.

One angry fan tweeted: “Someone who has made it big and had made lots of money from being a runner up on last year’s final should not be allowed to be on again this year.

“Noodle and Tom should be axed from the show.”

Another raged: “Why would anyone vote for Tom Ball after he just told everyone how #BGT changed his life last year and has an album and tour out this year?”

A third chimed in: “Don’t know why simon’s ‘shocked’ He probably organised Tom coming on the show.”

A fourth added: “Saying you have a record deal and an album coming out wasn’t a wise move noodle/tom Taking an opportunity away from people that are trying to get that.”

And someone else fumed: “We had no idea”…oh, bore off!! As if it isn’t a ploy by Simon Cowell to market somebody.

“After Tom Ball appeared on #BGT last year and then AGT All-Stars, I’m not buying the ‘surprise’!!!”

Some eagle-eyed fans had already wondered if Noodle was a returning finalist.

After he was unveiled, Simon declared: “I wasn’t expecting that!”

He added: “I never knew who was behind the cat. If you don’t win the show, then just come back as a cat!

“This is so much fun.”
