The Masked Dancer 2022’s Scissors ‘named’ as Little Mix star as she blows fans away with ‘greatest ever’ dance routine

THE Masked Dancer fans were blown away last night when Scissors pulled off what many claimed was the show's greatest ever performance.

The snippy star strutted around the judges, leaving them convinced whoever was inside the costume was a professional.

Several guessed that the performer was Little Mix's Jade Thirlwall, saying many of the clues added up.

One Masked Dancer fan wrote: "I can see scissors being jade thirwall makes so much sense to me does it for anyone else?

"Talent show, the writing on the mirror, she owns a bar in Newcastle?"

The character was seen posing behind a bar saying "I've certainly done my fair share of touring".

Scissors added: "When I told people I was coming on The Masked Dancer, they said: 'Can you handle a talent show?' My response: I'm sure I can cut it."

Little Mix were the first group to win The X Factor back in 2011.

However, not everyone felt the same - with guesses also flooding in for Ashley Roberts from The Pussycat Dolls.

One wrote: "I think Ashley Roberts for Scissors." Another agreed: "Ashley Roberts, the 40 winks could be a reference to her early radio show?"

Another still reckoned it was judge Peter Crouch's wife appearing as the bizarre, bug-eyed character.

They tweeted: "I’ve decided that scissors is abbey clancy and nothing can change my mind."

Earlier, Candlestick performed with many insisting the character was TV judge and TalkTV star Robert Rinder.

The show's first ever double act, Pillar and Post, were also widely tipped to be a This Morning duo.

Other stars performing on the ITV show tonight included Prawn Cocktail, Odd Socks and Astronaut, who turned out to be Jesse Metcalfe.

The Masked Dancer is a spin-off of the enormously successful Masked Singer, which has been a big hit for the broadcaster.

Both shows are fronted by 37-year-old comedian Joel Dommett.
