FANS of The Masked Dancer have “worked out” who Scissors is – and they think it’s a HUGE ITV star with an old telly role.
The snippy star strutted around the judges over the weekend – performing an impressive number to Justin Bieber’s Sorry
Viewers of the ITV competition – which sees celebrities in elaborate masks and costumes perform in front of a panel of judges – were certain they had worked out who Scissors was.
They pipped Amanda Holden as the snippy dancer, thanks to her role in BBC drama Cutting It – where she played a hairdresser.
“Amanda Holden was in ‘Cutting it’, but can she dance like Scissors just danced?” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“Scissors is Amanda Holden,” a second chimed in, as a third said: “It’s surely got to be Amanda Holden as Scissors.”
A fourth simply posted the trailer poster for BBC series Cutting It, adding: “Scissors is Amanda Holden. She was in cutting it.”
“Scissors – probably Amanda Holden. She was in Cutting It,” a fifth concluded.
It comes after fans of The Masked Dancer were left convinced that Scissors was a professional – and suggested it could be Little Mix’s Jade Thirlwall, saying many of the clues added up.
One Masked Dancer fan wrote: “I can see scissors being jade thirwall makes so much sense to me does it for anyone else?
“Talent show, the writing on the mirror, she owns a bar in Newcastle?”
The character was seen posing behind a bar in their video tape, saying: “I’ve certainly done my fair share of touring”.
Scissors added: “When I told people I was coming on The Masked Dancer, they said: ‘Can you handle a talent show?’ My response: I’m sure I can cut it.”
Little Mix were the first group to win The X Factor back in 2011.
However, not everyone felt the same – with guesses also flooding in for Ashley Roberts from The Pussycat Dolls.
One wrote: “I think Ashley Roberts for Scissors.” Another agreed: “Ashley Roberts, the 40 winks could be a reference to her early radio show?”
Another still reckoned it was judge Peter Crouch‘s wife appearing as the bizarre, bug-eyed character.
Earlier, Candlestick performed with many insisting the character was TV judge and TalkTV star Robert Rinder.
The show’s first ever double act, Pillar and Post, were also widely tipped to be a This Morning duo.
Other stars performing on the ITV show tonight included Prawn Cocktail, Odd Socks and Astronaut, who turned out to be Jesse Metcalfe.
The Masked Dancer is a spin-off of the enormously successful Masked Singer, which has been a big hit for the broadcaster.
