Fans of The Masked Dancer think they have 'solved' who is beneath the Pearly King costume.
The ITV show was back tonight as celebrities attempted to baffle, bewilder and bamboozle the panel and viewers with their dance moves whilst covered from head to toe in extravagant and elaborate costumes. Clue packages accompanied every Masked Dancer to help the panel crack the case of who the famous faces behind the masks are.
Within minutes of the first character appearing on tonight's episode fans thought that they had 'figured it out'. Pearly King took to the stage first to wow the judges and viewers with their dance moves.

Host Joel Dommett introduced the costumed celeb as "the beast from the east" as the character spoke with a west end accent. The lion said: "It's your mukka, Pearly King. Welcome to the streets of London."
Other clues that he gave were to do with cockney rhyming slang, the theatre and playing a role on screen. When Pearly King took his place on stage there was a board behind him with 'DD' spray-painted on it.
Fans thought the answer was obvious as they took to Twitter. Joanna said: "Pearly King has got to be Danny Dyer right? #TheMaskedDancer." Saskia said: "Pearly King is giving me Danny Dyer vibes #TheMaskedDancer."
Lauren seemed unsure, as she said: "Pearly king - Danny Dyer or Shane Richie #TheMaskedDancer." Meanwhile, another user said: "Why do I immediately think Pearly King is Danny Dyer? Haha #TheMaskedDancer."
The judges agreed as Oti Mabuse gave her guess as the EastEnders legend. However, Jonathan Ross disagreed as he said: "It's David Dickinson."
Peter Crouch thought it might have been Ray Winston or Alfie Moon aka Shane Ritchie. Davina was last to have a guess and she suggested that Tom Hardy might be hiding under the mask.
