The Masked Dancer fans were in for a treat as 6 new secret celebs took to the stage for a good old boogie.
One of those was Candlestick, who performed first in tonight’s line-up, which saw half the stars presented to viewers in their disguises.
However, it didn’t take those watching at home long to put their detective hats on, as they’re convinced they already know who Candlestick is.
In their introductory VT, various clues came up which seemed to make references that could well fit with Rob’s profession as a famous TV judge.
Some of the early clues spoke of Candlestick ‘holding court’, as well as being ’an authority,’ which left fans convinced they’d solved the mystery already.
One wrote on Twitter: ‘Candlestick is Judge Rob Rinder,’ while another echoed: ’We’re all thinking Judge Rinder aren’t we?’

But someone else thought the clue was in the costume itself, noting: ‘Was Judge Rinder not the candle from Beauty and the beast on a musical talent show recently? #themaskeddancer.’
‘Just catching up now and its 100% judge Rinder, he was Lumiere on another show hence the candlestick,’ another shared.
‘Judge Rinder just won All Stars Musicals as the candle from Beauty and the Beast. Him describing his performance as “Wicked” is a reference to this. #themaskeddancer,’ agreed a fan.

But could it really be the famous barrister and Good Morning Britain favourite hiding behind the glitzy costume?
So far, other suggestions from fans on Candlestick’s identity include The Voice UK judge Olly Murs and comedy character Keith Lemon.

When asked why he decided to take part, the Desperate Housewives star said: ‘I thought it would be fun because dance is something that really intimidates me so it’s a fear that I wanted to face.
‘This has been unbelievable, it’s one of the most zany things I’ve ever done in my career but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed myself.’
The Masked Dancer on ITV & the ITV Hub Saturdays at 6.30pm
