IT was another evening of guessing last night as Masked Dancer returned to screens.
Viewers were left shocked as the identity of Cactus was revealed, as they became the fourth star to be eliminated on the show.
Fans were blown away as they found out Cactus was actually Gareth Malone, despite the judges guessing at it being various McFly members.
And viewers were also trying to work out the identity of Pearly King, and decided on a famous chef as the person behind the mask.
Some claim they’ve “worked out” the Pearly King lion is Italian chef Gino D’Acampo.
It has been tricky to make out any clues from the character’s voice, which is extremely heavily disguised, but some viewers they can hear an Italian accent.
Fans believe there was also a clue that it was Gino because of his link to winning I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
Pearly King teased that he’d worked alongside someone with a “golden mane,” making viewers believe he was referring to Holly Willoughby.
Taking to social media to air their thoughts, one person penned: “Its Gino! He was King of the jungle #TheMaskedDancer.”
Another person added: “Yeah, I think Pearly King is Gino D’Acampo.”
While a third said: “Pearly King… Gino??? #themaskeddancer.”
There were a lot of guesses at Pearly King being Gino, but there have been some other names thrown into the mix.
Some believe it could well be rocker Brian May, with one person saying: “Could Pearly King be Brian May? Great “mane” of hair, guitar and CDs. His wife Anita Dobson was Angie in Eastenders, where she was served her divorce papers by screen husband Den at the bottom of the “apple & pears” stairs.”
“We’ve worked out Brian May and Steph McGovern in Masked Dancer UK. Weird sense of achievement without reward”, said another.
Fans already know the lion is male after judge Oti Mabuse let it slip on This Morning.
She essentially ruled out that the character was a woman – removing any chance it was one of England’s Lionesses.
The Masked Dancer‘s Oti said: “We have a lion, I think he steals the show” before quickly adding: “Or she steals the show. You see? Why do they bring me on?!”
