ITV The Masked Dancer fans reckon they've unmasked Amanda Holden as character over one major clue

The Masked Dancer is back and as baffling as ever as a celebrity panel and viewers watching at home attempt to work out who is dancing in disguise. An all-star cast are showcasing their dazzling dance moves while covered from head to toe in extravagant and elaborate costumes.

Twelve celebrities have taken on alter egos as they trip the light fantastic in a bid to wow the panel and confuse with their moves. Clue packages accompany every Masked Dancer to help the panel and at home detectives crack the case of who the famous faces behind the masks are.

As the guesses came pouring in, fans thought there was a major clue in the character Scissors. Viewers reckon it could be 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.

@HUGSIES tweeted: "Could Scissors be @AmandaHolden ? she was in a show called Cutting it." @karnyd88 said: "Either Ashley Roberts or Amanda Holden. She was in Cutting It so scissors could be the clue."

Sharing a picture of an old Cutting It DVD cover @Titch_a_mouse said: "It’s surely got to be Amanda Holden as Scissors - she certainly has the right physique too." @kjgodwin commented: "@AmandaHolden was in Cutting it …" and @Geords1 agreed: "Amanda Holden for Scissors." But other fans think Amanda could be Odd Socks.
