Masked Dancer: Who's gone out? Quiz: How well do you know Taylor Swift? Strictly stars dance to BBC theme tunes this week!OnomatopoeiaGetty ImagesAdam Garcia, David Tennant and Thierry Henry The panel have been all over the place in trying to guess who this is - from Australian Nativity 3 actor Adam Garcia, to Dr Who and Nativity 2 star David Tennant, to former Arsenal footballer Thierry Henry! Some of the clues we've seen are this person dancing through a library and surrounded by books, references to Australia and musical theatre, and a science kit. They've danced to Ed Sheeran, Maroon 5 and Black Eyed Peas.ScissorsGetty ImagesAshley Roberts, Jojo Siwa and Kimberley Wyatt OK so Scissors always speaks with a US accent and they've danced to Justin Bieber, Spice Girls and even to We Don't Talk About Bruno, from Encanto. Scissors is a great dancer and they've said they've been close to a megastar. They also made a point of needing 40 winks and showing a cereal bowl. The judges have guessed loads of names - including Ashley Roberts from Heart Breakfast and Strictly, along with her Pussycat Dolls bandmates: Kimberley Wyatt from CBBC show Almost Never and former BGT judge Nicole Scherzinger. But there's also been a shout out for Dance Moms' bow-legend, Jojo Siwa.Pearly KingGetty ImagesDanny Dyer, Bruno Tonioli and Bear Grylls Could it really be ex-Strictly judge Bruno Tonioli in there? There have been several clues about the east end of London, lots of chat about their wild mane, swimming trunks on the wall and having a past filled with shiny, sparkly objects. A few of the judges think all of this points to the flamboyant Strictly judge, who once danced in a music video in trunks, but the London connection has people wondering if it's EastEnders and The Wall star Danny Dyer. Chief Scout and TV host Bear Grylls and I'm a Celeb winner Joe Swash have also been mentioned.
