Masked Dancer viewers 'work out' Cactus is Busted star after guitar clue

Viewers of The Masked Dancer UK were quick to predict the true identity of Cactus on the show on Saturday night.

Cactus took to the stage and performed for the panel and the studio audience, while dropping some clues along the way.

Clues for the character included guitars, performing or appearing in big venues, and links to a hall of fame and a boxing ring.

Cactus also said they often get mistaken for a mythical beast, and was a champion.

As viewers tried to work out who Cactus was, many came up with the same name over and over again - while panellist Davina McCall suggested it could be a rockstar.

Taking to Twitter with their theories, viewers were convinced Cactus was Busted star and I'm A Celebrity winner Matt Willis.

One viewer said: "Cactus could be Matt Willis…Busted."

Another wrote: "#MaskedDancerUK cactus Matt Willis it has to be with the clues."

A third added: "Snooker player or guitar player from Busted for Cactus."

While another fan said: "Cactus is matt willis."

It comes after the first elimination of the series last weekend, that 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.
