Masked Singer fans work out Doughnuts 'clue' after his Dancing On Ice cameo

Dancing On Ice viewers were left surprised by an unexpected cameo on the ITV show on Sunday night.

Doughnuts from fellow ITV series The Masked Singer UK strolled onto the ice, obviously still hiding his true identity.

Hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby joked about the moment, as she claimed she'd believed he was under the mask until that moment.

Doughnuts didn't say a word the whole five minutes he was on the show, with no clues dropped about who he was.

But viewers were convinced his appearance on the show was a clue in itself, and could hint at a former or current Dancing On Ice contestant being the mystery star.

From football favourites to other stars, viewers have been trying to figure out who it is.

But on Saturday night, many fans were convinced they had cracked the case for once and for all, and that they now knew who was under the mask.

The clues included the famed football anthem 'Sweet Caroline', which Doughnuts belted from the stage, as well as having greeted "princes and dignitaries".

Doughnuts said: "My career has seen my reach some dizzying heights. You're not going to believe some of the opportunities I've had."

Viewers took to Twitter to share their thoughts on who could be under the mask - and everyone was guessing former footballer Michael Owen.

Several viewers said the voice of Doughnuts was even similar, writing: "Doughnuts voice isn't much different - Michael Owen!!"
