THE MASKED Dancer fans are convinced that Candlestick is Doctor Who star Ncuti Gatwa.
Sofa detectives watching at home joined in on the guessing game and shared their own suggestions on the identities behind the elaborate outfits.
The waxy dancer performed an upbeat number to Fuse ODG’s Dangerous Love.
The celebrity behind the elaborate costume pulled out all the stops and revealed that they don’t have any dance experience and went to “Tinseltown” on their “way to success”.
Viewers are convinced that the Sex Education star, 29, is Candlestick after references to Doctor Who and his hometown Scotland.
One wrote: “@MaskedSingerUK 100 per cent Ncuti Gatwa. #thatsfirecandlestick.”
Another posted: “Watching The Masked Dancer and I think Candlestick might be Ncuti Gatwa – the Dr Who hint, the Scotland thing.”
A third echoed: “Is Candlestick Ncuti Gatwa?…. Got the moves & the accent. Even a Dr who reference on there #TheMaskedDancer”
“If Candlestick on #MaskedDancerUK isn’t Ncuti Gatwa I’ll be amazed..but equally amazed if it is!” a fourth tweeted.
Another said: “Ncuti Gatwa is defo Candlestick #MaskedDancerUK prove me wrong.”
In May, Ncuti Gatwa was revealed as the next Time Lord in Doctor Who.
The Scottish-Rwandan star will become the first black male actor to take charge of the Tardis when he replaces Jodie Whittaker, 39.
Meanwhile, other fans reckon that Candlestick is Olympic diving champion Tom Daley.
Tom Daley is an Olympic medallist and world champion in Diving.
He won bronze at London 2012 and Rio 2016 games. The Brit is married to American screenwriter Dustin Lance Black in 2017.
One fan raved on Twitter: “Tom Daley!!!” and another decided: “Candlestick is Tom Daley 100%”
A third said: “Candle stick’s voice and way of speaking really reminds me of Tom Daley! So I’m going with Tom for candle stick!”
While other viewers thought Candlestick was ITV star ‘Judge’ Robert Rinder thanks to a reference to “court”.
One Masked Dancer viewer confidently tweeted: “Candlestick is Judge Rob Rinder.”
Another agreed: “We’re all thinking Judge Rinder aren’t we?” and: “putting it out there Candle = Judge Rinder.”
Another zeroed in one some of the other clues: “Lemon rind = Rinder Just ice?! = JUSTICE it’s judge Rinder.”
