Masked Dancer judge Davina McCall lets slip Scarecrow's identity with key clue

Masked Dancer judge Davina McCall appeared to accidentally let slip a major clue as to Scarecrow's true identity before the show has even begun.

Appearing on Lorraine, Davina expressed her delight about the Masked Singer spin-off and how fun it had been to work with new judge Oti Mabuse.

But Lorraine Kelly admitted that she was confused as to how the judges would be able to guess who each of the participants was as a main part of the Masked Singer was guessing through their singing voice.

"Well, I thought that there was no way in hell that we would be able to get any clues from a dance," she said. "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?'

The Masked Dancer will begin on Saturday (ITV)

"There are clues everywhere. Because we can't hear them singing they put extra clues in there, there are clues in the costume."

But Davina gave away one star's gender, remarking: "Scarecrow, in particular - every time she came out, there was an extra clue in her dungarees.

"And the choice of music - Carwash used very specific types of music. Zip used very specific types of music."

She added: "It was very funny because I got very blase about calling people Zip and Carwash. I looked over at Oti and said, 'This show is crazy!'"

*Lorraine airs weekdays at 9am on ITV
