Masked Dancer viewers 'work out who Onomatopoeia is' after telling costume clue

The Masked Dancer viewers think they have cracked the case regarding Onomatopoeia's true identity.

As the character dropped a number of clues about who they were, this and their performance got viewers thinking.

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

Onomatopoeia took to the stage and teased their identity, with fans being left convinced that they knew who was behind the unusual costume because of how 'loud' and 'daring' it was.

As their rotuine came to an end, it was clear there was one name in particular that viewers were repeating.

Taking to Twitter, viewers were convinced that Onomatopoeia was former X Factor star, Fleur East.

One viewer commented: "OMG Onomatopoeia is sooooooo Fleur East. I've thought it since the start - look at her costume, it's totally her."

Another agreed: "Yeah I think it's Fleur too! The costume suits her personality so much."

A third added: "Would make sense it was Fleur!! The costume is loud just like her. I mean that in a good way."

"Omg I can see it now," someone else insisted.

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.
