The famous face - who is an enormous pair of scissors - pulled out all the stops with their upbeat dance routine to So What by popstar PINK!

Ahead of tonight's performance, the choppy character said: "In my last performance I cut some shapes on the dancefloor, the panel think they’ve figured me out, but I think they’ve barely scratched the surface."

They then made reference to an "elephant in the room", hinting to Alexandra's hit song Elephant and a comment she made on ITV series Daybreak in 2012, in which she mistakenly took responsibility for bringing the well-worn phrase to the UK.

The celebrity continued: "I’ve not always been front and centre, but I like the limelight – even though I've not sought it out...life can imitate art."

They added: "Sometimes it helps to have a little bit of the X factor in your life."

Fans are convinced that The Bad Boys singer, who won the show in 2008, is behind the mask.

One wrote: "Elephant in the room? Sissors is defo Alexandra Burke after that interview of her claiming she brought that phrase to England. #TheMaskedDancer."

Another posted: "So which former X Factor contestant is scissors I wonder. #TheMaskedDancer"

A third said: "Scissors is Alexandra Burke - Elephant in the room and X Factor clues! #TheMaskedDancer"

A fourth echoed: "Elephant in the room, X Factor, Scissors is Alexandra Burke. #TheMaskedDancer"

Scissors gave three final clues, with two of them being a red herring.

They said: "I tried to find love before finding fame. Burlesque took an unexpected turn. Dumb decisions lead to a very fizzy mouth."

The judges were left stumped but guessed The Pussycat Dolls star Ashley Roberts, model Heidi Klum and Destiny Childs' Kelly Rowlands could be hiding behind the mask.
