He became the second person to be dumped from the ITV show after soul singer Dionne Warwick was axed in week one.

Yet the BBC One star, 53, has now dropped another clue about a fellow contestant.

Speaking on Heart Radio, host Jamie Theakston asked: "You definitely don’t know who else is doing it?

"Because I’m intrigued to know for instance who Piranha is."

Alexander then revealed both the potential gender and nationality and said: "He’s American… I think he is, I was told when I left by one of the assistants 'boy we have got some major international talent this year' so I just don’t know.

"Piranha was really good…"

Show fans have previously been adamant they "don't need a clue" for the identity of the sharp-toothed fish character.

That's because they are convinced it is McFly band member Danny Jones, 37.
