The Masked Dancer viewers convinced they know who Pearly King is – and it’s a very famous comedian

THE Masked Dancer viewers are convinced they have worked out who Pearly King is after a series of clues.

The likes of Danny Dyer and Queen’s Brian May have been linked to the sharp-suited lion and now another name has entered the mix – comedian Harry Hill.

The character has dropped a number of hints so far – and some think it could point to the funny man.

Some clues include that they’re from ‘the streets of London’ and are ‘part of a long tradition’ and isn’t afraid of hard work.

Pearly King also teased that he’d worked alongside someone with a ‘golden mane’.

But perhaps most tellingly he has ‘King of the Hill’ on the back of his costume.

Taking to Twitter to discuss the potential, one person said: “Pearly king reminds me of Harry hill.”

While another wrote: “Harry Hill? #PearlyKing #MaskedDancer.”

And someone else added: “Seeing the mannerisms I now think the pearly king is Harry hill oh and it says ‘king of the hill’ on his jacket .”

“Having missed the start of todays show amd having just catching a glimpse of pearly kings jacket I saw king of the hill and thought I hope it’s not Harry Hill #MaskedDancerUK,” commented 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?!”
