The Masked Dancer fans believe Candlestick could be Olly Murs, as their celebrity identity on the ITV dance show seemed to be hinted at during the third episode.
In tonight’s episode of the nation’s favourite guessing game presided over by host Joel Dommett, five Masked Dancers competed to remain anonymous, resulting in a third celebrity elimination.
This year's show sees a record number of 13 celebrities taking part in this series, with costumes including Pearly King, Pillar and Post – the first ever duo – Scissors and several more.
Each secret celeb is covered from head to toe in extravagant costumes, with voice modulation software completely obscuring who’s behind the mask.
The brand new celebrity alter egos have stepped onto the dancefloor, with clue packages to help the panel and at home detectives crack the case of who is behind the mask.
After Candlestick took to the dancefloor to perform to a Fuse ODG hit, The Masked Dancer viewers guessed the celebrity behind the mask could be Olly Murs, particularly after one of the clues was 'being on stage is certainly nothing new to me'.
Taking to Twitter to theorise, one wrote: “Olly Murs for Candlestick," as a second chimed: "Candlestick - Olly Murs?"
A third agreed: "Olly Murs is Candlestick." Another added: "Candlestick is definitely Olly Murs. Black and white sequence with canes at start was Laurel and Hardy I think."
This comes after last week, the unique and unusual dance party saw the Pig unmasked and revealed to be Joanna Page, leaving the judging panel of Oti Mabuse, Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall and Peter Crouch open-mouthed.
The Gavin and Stacey star was unfortunately eliminated from the ITV competition, after being in the bottom three with Cactus and Pearly King.
Guesses for who Pig could be included Anita Rani and Clare Balding, but it was actually Joanna who had the audience tricked.
During the first week of The Masked Dancer, Desperate Housewives star Jesse Metcalfe was eliminated, as he was unmasked and revealed to be the dancer behind Astronaut.
This series has seen footballing legend Peter Crouch join the judging panel to make his own guesses – and give the crowd the odd rendition of his 'robot dance'.
Host Joel has revealed that his favourite costume is Pearly King – and whilst they aren't the best dancer, they are ‘really enjoying’ their experience.
Speaking to The Mirror and other press at the ITV Autumn Entertainment Launch in west London, Joel said: “I do think that Pearly King is my absolute favourite. They're really good and embrace the whole character. It's amazing and what makes this show wonderful is that it's not really in any way a talent show.
“You can be an amazing singer or dancer, but Pearly King isn’t the best dancer by country mile but he's embracing it and courts the audience, he’s really enjoying it and I think that can get you really far.”
He added: “The more you enjoy it, the more people enjoy watching you. It's really fun.”
The Masked Dancer returns for more fancy footwork on ITV at 6.30pm on Saturdays
