Masked Dancer viewers 'solve' identity of Squirrel as 'obvious' clues point to Cheryl

The Masked Dancer fans are convinced Friday's episode has given away the true identity of Squirrel.

Squirrel performed a routine to Camila Cabello's Havana before giving some fresh clues about who they are.

From references to Will.i.am and a clear skill in dancing, there were also apparent references to Newcastle and other possible links to the one and only Cheryl Tweedy.

Now, viewers believe that the Girls Aloud star is the mystery star under the costume after the latest routine.

Taking to Twitter, one fan said: "Definitely Cheryl Tweedy, newcastle references & colours plus Will I am had a huge crush on her."
