The Masked Dancer fans convinced Christmas Day clue points to Lady Leshurr being Squirrel

THE Masked Dancer fans are convinced a Christmas Day clue points to Lady Leshurr being the Squirrel.

Fans have been scrambling over clues to figure who is who on ITV's dancing spin off to the Masked Singer.

But one particular clue has caught Masked Dancer fans' attention - as it was said the Squirrel is always on the TV on Christmas Day.

Lady Leshurr has seven different songs under the title Queen's Speech.

One person said: "Def Lady Leshur is squirrel Queen speech on Christmas Day #MaskedDancerUK #MaskedDancer"

Another added: "Squirrel I’m sure is lady leshurr. The always in TV Christmas Day clue.. the queens speech. She only has 5 or 6 songs called the queen’s speech… #MaskedDancer"

However, this isn't the only clue indicating it would be the Dancing On Ice star.

The Squirrel spoke of "getting ahead of the game by impersonating other animals" - which could be a reference to her winning The Celebrity Circle earlier this year as Big Nastie.

The character also proclaimed herself "urban" with "street cred", which could be a reference to Lady Leshurr being a rapper.

So far Jordan Banjor was unmasked as Viper, while Louise Redknapp was revealed to be Flamingo and Dita Von Teese was Beetroot.

Meanwhile, Rubber Chicken was unmasked as Eddie the Eagle.

However, some fans are convinced the Squirrel is actually EastEnders and Strictly Come Dancing star Maisie Smith.

Maisie plays Tiffany Butcher in the BBC soap, while she was a finalist in the 2020 series of Strictly.

Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: "@MaskedSingerUK I think #Squirrel could be the amazing @maisie_smith_."

Another added: "@maisie_smith_ definitely the squirrel in whose that in the mask #MaskedDancerUK."

A third tweeted: "Im so sure squirrel is maisie!!"

So far her clues have included having "street cred" and also being "TV royalty from an early age", which could refer to Maisie first being on EastEnders as a little girl.
