The Masked Dancer's Zip 'is Olly Murs' viewers claim after spotting giveaway clues

The Masked Dancer UK viewers think they know the true identity of Zip on the ITV show.

Singer and The Voice UK coach Olly Murs is now favourite to be unmasked on Saturday, according to many viewers.

All sorts of names have been rumoured for the character, from comedian Peter Kay to Take That's Howard Donald.

Marvin Humes and Mark Wright are also rumoured stars to be under the Zip costume, after a week of clues and performances.

But now, many people are tipping The X Factor star Olly to be Zip after believing several of the clues were linked to him.

From references to England's football team to Robbie Williams, and even a lyric to one of his songs, there's certainly a lot that points to the singer.

Zip mentioned his heart skipping a beat, with Heart Skips a Beat being the title of Olly's song with Rizzle Kicks.

One viewer also spotted a possible reference to Olly's duet with Robbie, during the final of The X Factor in 2009.

Taking to Twitter, convinced viewers shared all the clues they had spotted that linked Olly to the mystery Zip.

One viewer said: "Zip is 100% Olly Murs. ‘Heart skips a beat’ and also referenced the Robbie Williams song he sung in the final of X Factor with Robbie himself."

Another tweeted after the latest episode: "Oooh Zip could be Olly Murs!"

A third agreed of the clues: "I think the Zip Olly Murs. Played for England in soccer aid and done star in a reasonably priced car on top gear..."

Meanwhile, a fourth said: "I think Zip is Olly Murs."

The truth will be revealed during Saturday's finale, with the three other remaining acts also being identified on the same night.

The Masked Dancer UK finale starts at 7:30pm on Saturday on ITV.
