In her videotape, Knitting had a Lancastrian accent and hinted at a connection with the world of theatre.
They also walked past a magpie, the bird that is famously associated with Newcastle.
The character described themselves as being like a “big warm hello and cuddle”.

While fan guesses were varied, Girls Aloud star Cheryl’s name cropped up time and time again.

What’s is Joel Dommetts’s net worth?
Internet reports suggest Joel is worth £2.4million, although this is just speculation at this stage of his career.
It is believed he received around £25,000 for his stint on I’m A Celeb in 2016.
But Joel is expected to be earning much more today as he’s become one of British TV’s most popular stars.
Show goes to great lengths to prevent spoilers leaking
In order to protect and stop the identities of the singers leaking, not all audience members get to see the unmasking
The whole show is filmed in front of about 500 people who watch the show, right up to the point until the celebrity is about to take off their mask.
At this point, most of the audience have to leave the studio, with only about 30 or so people staying to see the big reveal, so as to minimise spoilers leaking.
Both parts are then edited together, with viewers at home none the wiser about the switch-up.
Those who apply for tickets to watch the show are warned of this in advance, so they are not disappointed when they go to watch it..
According to , who deal with tickets for the show, all audience members are also required to sign a release form, which contains “confidentiality clauses” to stop them telling others about who is unmasked on the show.
Who are The Masked Singer judges?

In the previous seasons, guest panellists such as series one winner Nicola Roberts, also made an appearance.
Huge names have been unmasked on the show
Huge names including Ne-Yo, Natalie Imbruglia and Katherine Jenkins have helped the show become a jewel in ITV's crown, with up to 6.3million tuning in to the last finale.
Speaking ahead of the series this evening, Rita discussed her love of dressing up for it.
She told us: "I always like to bring the glamour.
"I like to put make-up on and do big hair. I've always been like that."

What did Kammy say as he was unmasked?
Judge Mo Gilligan was convinced comedian John Bishop was behind the mask.
While Jonathan Ross was sure Ghost's Scottish accent was fake, and Rita Ora took a punt on it being Love Island's Dr Alex.
The Ghost's final clue, that he is "immortal in a drink with a head" had the panel scratching their heads.
He was eventually unmasked as Chris Kamara, who said of his outfit: "I loved it. It was simple but that’s what I really liked about it.
"It was hard to sing in though.
"I never realised how hard that would be. It’s very claustrophobic."
Fans all saying the same thing about Ghost's costume
MASKED Singer fans were left flabbergasted when they were introduced to Ghost in tonight's launch show.
Viewers questioned if producers ran out of money before creating the character's look.
It was very basic, comprising of a white sheet with large eyes and red boots.
One viewer said: "Obviously run out of budget when it got to ghosts costume."
Another posted: "Whoever ghost is spent their costume budget on stuff other than the costume."
A third said: "Did @itvstudios run out of budget for the ghost costume… it’s literally a sheet."
