Masked Dancer UK viewers 'solve' identity of Sea Slug after clue confusion

The Masked Dancer UK's Sea Slug may have been rumbled, if ITV viewers are correct.

The show’s host Joel Dommett returned on Saturday night alongside the panel including newcomer Peter Crouch, Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross and Oti Mabuse, who were tasked with guessing the celebrity identities.

This week, it was Pig, Sea Slug, Onomatopoeia, Pearly King Cactus and Tomato Sauce who performed a dance each while revealing loads of clues.

But viewers could not pinpoint who Sea Slug was after their performance, with many baffled over the clues.

The clues included making a splash, a treasure chest and the comment: "You’ve got to hand it to me, this Sea Slug knows how to scrub up well."

They also said: "Glow in the dark is so in this season," and: "If you need a hand, I can throw you a lifeline."

On further inspection though, some viewers believed they had cracked the case, and guessed dancer, choreographer and television personality Louie Spence was under the mask - as others predicted RuPaul's Drag Race UK star The Vivienne was the mystery celebrity.

Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: "sea slug is Louie Spence all day long so obvious and the judges are wrong guessing on purpose."

Another agreed: "I reckon the #MaskedDancerUK Sea slug might be Louis Spence."

Meanwhile a third viewer guessed: "sea slug is The Vivienne."

A fourth wrote: "I think Seaslug is The Vivienne cos in Drag Race they did an impression of Trump and in the VT there was a Make America Great Again red cap."

It comes after Pig was exposed as Gavin & Stacey star Joanna Page in the latest episode.

No one guessed Joanna was Pig, leaving her thrilled - especially after some of the panel named male celebrities.

She said: "I had a fantastic time, it's been absolutely amazing. The children don't know or anything so I am very excited because this is their favourite programme."

Meanwhile, the first elimination of the series prior to this saw Astronaut unmasked as Desperate Housewives star Jesse Metcalfe.

In the first edition, Candlestick, Scissors, Astronaut, Odd Socks, Prawn Cocktail and Pillar and Post took to the stage - with Candlestick, Astronaut and Pillar and Post dancing it out for survival.

Astronaut did not prove to be a hit, and was soon unmasked by the panel - and many couldn't believe it when Jesse appeared.

When asked why he decided to take part, Jesse said: “I thought it would be fun because dance is something that really intimidates me so it's a fear that I wanted to face.

"This has been unbelievable, it's one of the most zany things I’ve ever done in my career but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed myself.”

The Masked Dancer airs on ITV at 6.30pm on Saturdays.
