FANS of The Masked Dancer are convinced they know who is performing on the show as Scissors.
Viewers of the ITV reality series, which returned to screens on Saturday, are certain the person behind the mask is a Pussycat Doll.
And of the famous dance troupe, they reckon Ashley Roberts was the item of office stationary throwing shapes.
In a video shown before Scissors took to the stage, she was heard speaking in an American accent. Although she now lives in London, 40-year-old Ashley is originally from Phoenix in Arizona.
A member of the crew was seen walking around with a bowl of cereal, which also raised suspicions as Ashley works on Heart FM’s Breakfast Show.
Scissors went on to perform an impressive routine to Justin Bieber’s smash hit song Sorry and was even seen doing the Samba.
In 2018, Ashley made history when she became the first Strictly Come Dancing contestant to score a perfect 40.
Afterwards, Scissors gave an extra clue about her ‘cat eyes’ and “40” while chatting to the celebrity panel.
“These peepers are feline like they could use 40 winks,” she said.
Taking to Twitter, one convinced fan wrote: “Scissors – Ashley Roberts the 40 could be related to all the 40’s she got on strictly.”
Another chipped in: “She’s also 40 years old.”
A third tweeted: “Scissors is Ashley Roberts – that’s someone with dance training!”
While a fourth mused: “Scissors.. Ashley Roberts perhaps? She has to appear at some point, she’s been guessed in every series!”
The Masked Dancer returned to ITV1 on the weekend for a second series and the characters have delighted viewers.
Bosses lined-up 12 participants dressed in wacky costumes to dance on stage for the spin-off to The Masked Singer.
Episode one saw one celebrity unmasked – and it was a shock to everyone.
Astronaut landed in the bottom three along with Candlestick and double-act Pillar and Post, but the judges chose to save the other two leaving the space man as the first to exit the competition.
As the audience shouted “Take it off” the character lifted their mask to reveal Desperate Housewives star Jesse Metcalfe.
Jesse played John Rowland in the hit TV series alongside Teri Hatcher and also took on the role of John in John Tucker Must Die.
He starred in the Dallas reboot, as Christopher Ewing, as well as the Martha’s Vineyard Mysteries and Chesapeake Shores.
The remaining characters on The Masked Dancer are:
- Cactus
- Candlestick
- Odd Socks
- Onomatopoeia
- Pearly King
- Pig
- Pillar and Post
- Prawn Cocktail

- Scissors
- Tomato Sauce
The show continues on ITV1 on Saturday nights.
