Could the mystery dancer be the former Hear'Say member and soap star?

A second person added: "Hearsay reference on # Beetroot's clues. Could it be Kym Marsh?" while a third said: "With that Hear'Say reference I am SCREAMING for Beetroot to be Kym Marsh, Suzanne Shaw or Myleene Klass."

However, the judges have not yet guessed the star as the masked performer - but their suggestions aren't far off. Oti thinks former Girls Aloud singer and fellow Northerner Cheryl Cole could be behind the mask, while Davina went for another singer - Shania Twain.
