VIEWERS of The Masked Dancer have “worked out” that a 90s pop legend is behind the costume of Odd Socks.
Eagle-eyed fans noted down a number of “clues” that they felt pointed towards the identity of the mystery celebrity.
Previously, fans were convinced the ITV contestant, who blasted out a routine in front of a Coin Laundry, was Big Brother legend Emma Willis
The colourful character burst onto the ITV show on Saturday, with huge googling eyes and an outfit stitched with an array of socks.
They wowed audiences with a lively routine to What A Man Gotta Do, by the Jonas Brothers before giving clues to their identity.
Now, viewers of the Masked Dancer are certain the celebrity behind the mask is pop legend and Spice Girls singer Emma Bunton.
“I’m just putting it out there that Odd Socks on Masked Dancer is Emma Bunton,” one Spice Girls fan wrote to Twitter.
“Why am I convinced Odd Socks is Emma Bunton?” a second chimed in, while a third simply chimed in: “Emma Bunton!”
The sock-covered masked star was seen giving out another clue on social media this week – which threw fans off the trail.,
“I nose how to sniff out talent like a pair of stinky socks,” the clue read – leading to some fans thinking they had been a TV judge with a musical or dancing background.
Other clues included: “Her feet have carried her in one big circle,” – which many believed to be pertinent, as another teaser revealed: “Turns up in lots of surprising places.”
Some fans admitted they believed the celeb was Birmingham-born Lady Leshurr, thanks to her “popping up” on TV shows.
One fan wrote: “Could Odd Socks be Lady Leshurr? She won the Celebrity Circle and is always popping up in random places – Olay advert, Dancing on Ice etc.”
Another chimed in: “Definitely Lady Leshurr. She was also on a talent show with Martin Kemp on BBC last year.”
They then reeled off the reasons behind their thoughts, and added: “Multi talented, The Celebrity Circle 2021 winner, From the Midlands, Was a judge on a BBC talent show with Martin Kemp last year.”
It came after duo Pillar and Post were unmasked by fans as This Morning veterans.
