Masked Dancer's Scarecrow 'rumbled' by eagle-eyed viewers as EastEnders star

Ahead of the final of ITV's The Masked Dancer, viewers believe they have cracked the case over the identity of Scarecrow.

The mystery celebrity has revealed some big clues over the week, and now according to fans it's "obvious" that Tamzin Outhwaite is Scarecrow.

The EastEnders actress, who played Mel Owen on the BBC soap, could have links to some of the cryptic clues shown in the VTs.

Eagle-eyed viewers spotted possible references to some familiar TV shows including New Tricks, Inside No 9, Hotel Babylon and even EastEnders - all of which she has been in at some point.

There was also a possible Ian Beale reference, with her character Mel once marrying him on EastEnders.

Fans even noticed possible links to TV shows The Bill and Red Cap, which, again, Tamzin has appeared in over the years.

Taking to Twitter, several fans were convinced she was going to be unveiled as Scarecrow on Saturday night, and said their minds would not be swayed.

One viewer wrote: "Magic wand = New Tricks, General Manager badge= Hotel Babylon, Barn No 9 = appearing in an episode of Inside Number 9."

Another agreed: " ‘Red Cap’, Inside No.9, General Manager (Hotel Babylon), Sun Hill (The Bill), magic wand (New Tricks), “always got a free ride” (dad drove cab). AMAZING dancing & phenomenal disguise job!"

A third recalled: "Aha and she was married to Ian Beale!!!"

Meanwhile another wrote: "I'm convinced Scarecrow is Tamzin Outhwaite!"

A fifth said: "I'm going with Tamzin Outhwaite for Scarecrow."

Viewers will finally find out their true identity on Saturday, when the remaining four characters are unmasked in the finale.

Until then, everyone on the show is sworn to complete secrecy, so there is no way of knowing who really is Scarecrow.

The Masked Dancer UK final airs Saturday at 7:30pm on ITV.
