Masked Dancer fans convinced Llama is former Strictly It Takes Two host Zoe Ball

Masked Dancer fans believe they've cracked Llama's identity - and reckon it's none other than Zoe Ball.

Giving off more of a distinguished air about them with a monocle hooked over one eye, Llama quickly had fans guessing as to who it could be.

Clad in a purple velvet jacket, gold embroidered waist coat, cream trousers and leather boots, some viewers were instantly convinced that it could be a certain Strictly star.

"Welcome to my own costume drama," they declared. "I'm a country girl at heart... eating all my greens because, after all, you are what you eat."

She also referred to previously having a reputation, but said that they became "more dutiful" since moving to the countryside.

Llama was also shown looking at a bill from 2013, leaving the judges utterly perplexed.

We're having more of a problem with llama than anyone," Jonathan Ross admitted.

The final clue was: "My famous _ is known for being _."

But fans reckoned that Llama was definitely former Strictly It Takes Two presenter Zoe.

One tweeted: "llama is zoe ball im saying it now."

While another commented: "Zoe Ball is the llama or I'm a Dutchman... #TheMaskedDancer."

A third wrote: "Zoe Ball's, a good shout for, Llama... The clue could've been for her dad being good with numbers, or husband being good with music... Hmmm... #TheMaskedDancer."

Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall and Mo Gilligan returned this evening for the Masked Singer spin-off alongside new judge and Strictly star Oti Mabuse.

As it is incredibly difficult to guess the identities of each of the performers, there are even more clues than there would have been on the Masked Singer.

"Well, I thought that there was no way in hell that we would be able to get any clues from a dance," Davina explained. "But actually, people do have a certain physicality to them. We had a couple of nights where somebody was guessed from a movement or an energy that they had, so that was really interesting.

"But you do get to hear their voices when they do their clue packages. So we're really trying to listen out for accents - there are some American accents in there. Are they real? Are they faking it?

"From the accent, you can kind of tell whether it's a girl or a boy because we are down to the basics of 'Is it a boy or a girl?'"

She also revealed that Carwash and Zip used very specific types of music for clues as to who they were.

Meanwhile, newcomer Oti admitted that landing the gig on the Masked Dancer was "the best call of her life".

She said: "Oh my goodness, I broke out in song and dance, obviously because that is so me, I think something from Wicked.

“I was in my house. I had a scarf, I was flying it around. It was, I think, the best call of my life. I really was so grateful to be here and on the panel.”

*The Masked Dancer returns tomorrow at 7pm on ITV
