THE Masked Dancer fans were left in awe after Scissors took to the stage for the first time – with many claiming it was the show’s greatest ever performance.

The snippy star left judges and viewers at home convinced the famous face behind the mask was a professional.

Who is Scissors on The Masked Dancer?

Scissors is one of the crazy characters competing in the second series of The Masked Dancer.

The snippy star is up against other characters such as Candlestick and Astronaut.

Scissors is hoping to keep their identity secret for as long as possible – but fans of the show are already convinced they know who the celeb in the costume is.

Several guessed that the performer was Little Mix’s Jade Thirlwall, saying many of the clues added up.

The speculation came after the character was seen posing behind a bar saying “I’ve certainly done my fair share of touring”.

Fans quickly took to social media to share their predicitions.

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?”

However, not everyone felt the same – with guesses also flooding in for Ashley Roberts from The Pussycat Dolls and Peter Crouch‘s wife, Abbey Clancy.

But will be up to the panel of judges to guess who they think it could be.

How does The Masked Dancer work?

The 12 dancers are originally split into two groups of six.

The six dancers are then paired up and after their performance, one is voted safe by the audience with the other landing in the bottom three.

Their dance routines will be coupled with fun VT dropping hints to the masked celeb.

The show will also include clues to the real identity of the performer.

Despite a lot of the hints being pretty vague, after each performance the judges must guess the ID of the dancer – with some being way off the mark.

As the show is pre-recorded the studio audience gets to vote for their favourite, but once it’s whittled down to the final two, the judges alone choose who they want to be unmasked.

The 12 performers include the first ever duo taking to the stage – Pillar and Post.

They will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of series one winner, Olympic gymnast Louis Smith.

Judges Oti Mabuse, Jonathan Ross and Davina McCall will be joined by Peter Crouch on the judging panel as he replaces Mo Gilligan.

Joel Dommett returns as host.
