The Masked Dancer fans adamant they have unmasked identity of Prawn Cocktail

The Masked Dancer fans are adamant they have already identified Prawn Cocktail following the return of the hit ITV show.

The popular programme is back for a second series after former Olympic champion gymnast Louis Smith took the inaugural crown in 2021 as Carwash, with bigger and better costumes on display over the coming weeks.

In the first edition, Candlestick, Scissors, Astronaut, Odd Socks, Prawn Cocktail and Pillar and Post took to the stage.

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

As the show returned, fans were keen to work out who's behind the masks with a record number of 13 celebrities taking part in this series. Costumes include Pearly King, Pillar and Post – Scissors and several more.

One contestant who stood out was Prawn Cocktail as fans believe two give away clues have helped them suss out who is underneath the mask.

The clue segment contained a number of references to musicals and musicians, including Dolly Parton, leaving fans sure it referred to the star's musical theatre background.

An clue contained references of foods and flavours, which early indicators suggests could be a famous chef or has been on a cooking show before.

Prawn Cocktail produced an energetic performance as they danced to Dream Girls' One Night Only under a golden ring with the sign 'The Gold Shrimp Club'.

And it was the combination of the two clues which saw a number of people suggest Atomic Kitten's Liz McClarnon on social media.

One person wrote on Twitter : "I think Prawn Cocktail is Liz McClarnon. The menu had a cocktail called Atomised Feline and I believe she won MasterChef too."

Another user said: "Really surprised that nobody has mentioned that the top cocktail on the menu was Atomised Feline, as in Atomic Kitten."

West End and TV star Sheridan Smith is always linked with the Masked Singer and Masked Dancer (ITV)

A third added: "I think it's Liz McClarnon, she won Master Chef."

However, several people believed it was Sheridan Smith, who has starred in a number of West End musicals as well as her TV success.

Someone commented on Twitter: "Prawn Cocktail is Sheridan Smith. Actually Odd Socks is Sheridan Smith too."

A second person said: "Sheridan Smith - Cilla clues," while another replied: "Prawn Cocktail had lots of musical references, Sheridan Smith?"
