The incredible guessing game kicked off for another series last night with a new cast of celebs aiming to dazzle the panel with their fancy footwork.

Inititally, viewers insisted Candlestick was ITV star ‘Judge’ Robert Rinder thanks to a reference to “court”.

Oti Mabuse came to the same conclusion – naming the TV favourite as her first guess of the series.

But other viewers reckon Candlestick is Olympic diving champion Tom Daley.

One raved: “Tom Daley!!!” and another decided: “Candlestick is Tom Daley 100%”

A third said: “Candle stick’s voice and way of speaking really reminds me of Tom Daley! So I’m going with Tom for candle stick!”

The Candlestick danced on stage with Scissors as The Masked Dancer returned for a new series.

Unfortunately for the waxy character, they came off second best to Scissors, who some reckoned was a Little Mix star.

Other stars performing last night included Prawn Cocktail, Pillar and Post and Odd Socks.

The Masked Dancer is a spin-off of the enormously successful Masked Singer, which has been a big hit for ITV.

It will air every Saturday night this series, instead of on a nightly basis.
