The South African star said: "I'm always so nervous to say anything about The Masked Dancer because I give away clues.

"Right now I'm actually shaking."

ITV has lined-up 11 other celebs dressed in crazy costumes for the toe-tapping spin-off to The Masked Singer, including Pillar and Post, Tomato Sauce and Pearly King.

Oti teased that Pearly King is an early front-runner, but in the process accidentally revealed the gender of the person inside the costume.

"We have a Lion....Pearly King...I think he steals...or she steals the show.," Oti corrected herself.
