But one armchair sleuth got to work and presented their facts on Reddit.

They shared: "Anthony Joshua (please hear me out, when I go through the clues, this isn't as crazy as it seems). Strap in folks: Apparently AJ loves cricket and has done a few videos with the England cricket team

"In the week one clues package, the numbers 6 and 5 were on the scoreboard. AJ is 6 ft 5.

"On the same scoreboard was the number 60 - AJ's 2nd fight with Ruiz was worth a total prize fund of $60 million."

The eagle-eyed fan then followed this up with three further clues.

"Comment - 'got dizzy while perched on a sofa' - AJ is pals with Dizzy Rascal.

"'Gold Dust'- AJ won gold at London 2012 Olympics.

"The words 'Bow Tuffers' / 'Moe Wiggo' - AJ was on A Question of Sport with Phil Tufnell (Tuffers). Mo Farah and Bradley Wiggins were two other Gold Medalists in London 2012."

But they didn't stop there, the fan had clearly done their research and went on: "5 Sandwiches - AJ beat Otto Wallin in 5 rounds, but this was just before Christmas and likely after filming date. Likely a reference to something else.

"TDF - The most obvious thing this could stand for is Tour de France. AJ launched a cycling agency.

"Last seen at the top with Big Mouse' - Haven't worked this one out either yet, but retired boxed Bruce Strauss was known as the Mouse. I'm thinking there is some connection there - perhaps he was at one of AJ's last fights?

"Team Pursuit - Last year AJ was part of a consortium that bought out the Alpine Formula 1 Team.

"'Jolly Good Innings' - AJ likely close to retirement, and has had a good career," while a "'Big Hitter'- Boxing reference?"

The viewer was keen to share some more clever spots.

They continued: "Smashed - AJ promised to smash Aleksandr Usyk.

"I've been in a league of my own - AJ has appeared several times on A League of their Own.

"This week in the clues there was a microphone with the note 'love from MB' - this is the same style of microphone that Boxing announcers use - particularly Michael Buffer who I'm confident the MB refers to.

"Clue song - How deep is your love - AJ did a swimming challenge where he attemped Oleksandr Usyk’s Brutal Swimming Challenge.

"Show was filmed in September, his last fight was October, so it didn't clash, and I'd say he has a lot of spare time between fights."

The viewer said he was very confident that AJ was behind the mask - and said he was convinced a sports person was in the line-up.

Other guesses have been Lemar, Jay Blades and even Vic Reeves.

Last week Lorraine Kelly was unmasked as Owl.
