THE Masked Dancer fans reckon they've already cracked the code on one of the show's biggest characters.

Viewers say there are a string of killer clues that point to Knickerbocker Glory being none other than Strictly judge Craig Revel-Horwood.

The Masked Dancer - a spin-off of The Masked Singer - began last night on ITV with the giant ice-cream taking on a grooving Zip.

But it was one of the clues that led viewers' to the 56-year-old Strictly pro's door.

Knickerbocker Glory offered the clue: "As a young scoop I won a ____ contest with my jelly ____."

Fans quickly filled in the blanks, pointing out that Craig was once a budding young chef who won a cooking contest with a jellied prawn cocktail.

One even found the page in Craig's autobiography showing him posing with the dish and joking he was "in training for Celebrity Masterchef."

Knickerbocker Glory performed Telephone by Lady Gaga on the show last night, after an elaborate introduction at the seaside.

The quirky character explained: "I'm so excited I could... scream.

"Just like a Knickerbocker Glory I'm full of layers, from my tippy-toes to the cherry on top.

The character promised to 'squeeze a little zest' into the competition
