She has also got a long history as a stage performer, which would make sense as she’s a great dancer.

The Scissors is a natural dancer, so fans suspected that it could be Strictly’s Dianne Buswell, who is known for her bright red hair.

Prior to taking part in Strictly, Dianne also worked as a hairdresser, so the clues are lining up for the professional dancer.

Kimberly Wyatt

Davina McCall was certain that the Scissors were Kimberly Wyatt after a clue pointed to it being one of the Pussycat Dolls.

The Scissors told us in show one: ‘These peepers are feline like they could use 40 winks.’

We know they can all dance – so it is Kimberly or another PCD star under that mask?
