Viewers of The Masked Dancer are convinced one of two X Factor stars is behind Scissors with some doing some very expert digging. The zany dancing competition was back on ITV on Saturday night as five of the elaborate characters took to the stage for more funky routines.
As well as Scissors, Candlestick, Odd Socks, Prawn Cocktail and the show's first-ever duo Pillar and Post all took to stage, and sadly it was Prawn Cocktail who had to say goodbye and was unmasked at the end of the show.
However, there was a lot of talk about Scissors with fresh clues including the mention of 'sold out gigs' and there being an 'elephant in the room' as well as the line it 'helps to have X factor in your life'.

During the first week of The Masked Dancer earlier this month, fans thought there was a major clue in the character Scissors. Viewers reckon it could have bene Britain's Got Talent judge and West End star Amanda Holden because the 51-year-old actress, broadcaster and singer starred in the Manchester-based noughties drama Cutting It, about the lives and loves of the team running a hairdressing salon.
But that all appears to have changed during the latest show after Scissors performed to Confident by Demi Lovato. And only two names are now in the running - with both have links to the hit ITV singing competition The X Factor.
@anmollakhani_ tweeted: "Scissors is 100%, Alexandra Burke! If you think about the clues ‘elephant in the room’- she had a song called Elephant In The Room and The X Factor- a show which she won in 2008, it just makes sense! #MaskedDancerUK."
@phoebedaisy_ said: "Elephant in the room? Scissors is defo Alexandra Burke after that interview of her claiming she brought that phrase to England #TheMaskedDancer." @liamandrews123 echoed: "ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM??!? ALEXANDRA BURKE #MaskedDancerUK."
But others have a key reason why 2008 X Factor winner Alexandra may not be behind the mask. @liamandrews123 said: "Guys i’ve just looked on insta it’s not alexandra burke, she was pregnant when they were filming #MaskedDancerUK." @GhostyGirl55 echoed: "Alexandra Burke has a baby in July, so I'd imagine she was pregnant when this was filmed, so I think it would rule her out #MaskedDancerUK."
Meanwhile, former X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger has also been named as some did some extra research into her name. @lyndsayva said: "Is Scissors Nicole Scherzinger? Scher is German for Scissors! #TheMaskedDancer."
@chrisjlatimer tweeted: "That’s a proper dancer whoever it is I think it’s Nicole Scherzinger #TheMaskedDancer." @Twig9876 shared: "I think scissors could be Nicole Scherzinger - German name, X factor, sold seats as a singer #TheMaskedDancer." @http_Jess63 added: "#TheMaskedDancer Scissors is 100000% Nicole Scherzinger."
