THE Masked Dancer viewers are convinced they have worked out who Pearly King is following a series of clues.

The likes of Danny Dyer and Queen's Brian May have been linked to the sharp-suited lion and now another name has entered the mix – comedian Harry Hill.

The character has dropped a number of hints so far – and some think it could point to the funny man.

Some clues include that they’re from ‘the streets of London’ and are ‘part of a long tradition’ and isn’t afraid of hard work.

Pearly King also teased that he’d worked alongside someone with a 'golden mane'.

But perhaps most tellingly he has ‘King of the Hill’ on the back of his costume.

Taking to Twitter to discuss the potential, one person said: “Pearly king reminds me of Harry hill.”

While another wrote: “Harry Hill? #PearlyKing #MaskedDancer.”

And someone else added: “Seeing the mannerisms I now think the pearly king is Harry Hill 🤷 oh and it says ‘king of the hill’ on his jacket 😜.”

“Having missed the start of todays show amd having just catching a glimpse of pearly kings jacket I saw king of the hill and thought I hope it’s not Harry Hill 🙈😂🙈😂 #MaskedDancerUK,” commented another.

Fans already know the lion is male after judge Oti Mabuse let it slip on This Morning.

She essentially ruled out that the character was a woman - removing any chance it was one of England's Lionesses.

The Masked Dancer's Oti said: "We have a lion, I think he steals the show" before quickly adding: "Or she steals the show. You see? Why do they bring me on?!"
