Who is Llama on The Masked Dancer? Fans spot convincing Line of Duty clue

One of the contestants still in the running to be crowned this year's Masked champion is Llama, who some fans think could be actress Vicky McClure after picking up on what they believe to be a major Line of Duty clue.

But she's not the only name that's been mentioned, with The Masked Dancer judges and us at home throwing out suggestions from Zoe Ball to Sara Cox and Kerry Katona.

Seriously, who is Llama?

Here's everything you need to know, including all the clues and guesses so far about The Masked Dancer's Llama.

• "Success came quickly for me. I was on the screen before I knew I wanted to be."

The Masked Dancer theories

Is Llama Vicky McClure?

Davina picked up on the Line of Duty clues and thinks Vicky McClure who plays Kate Fleming on the BBC crime series might be behind the costume. She even revealed that she's seen McClure dance before and admitted she's pretty good! And fans are in agreement.

Taking to Twitter, one wrote: “#MaskedDancerUK Llama is Vicky McClure. No questions asked."

“With the AC-12 clue, surely Llama is Vicky McClure and she has that sense of humour," another added.

Vicky herself added a little fuel to the fire, as she she shared a Tweet, saying: “Been an aLLAM’ingly hot day!”

Is Llama Patsy Kensit?

The panel think Llama could be an actress, and Kensit seems to fit most of the clues for Davina. Kensit is an actress, singer, model and former child star. She was the lead singer of the band Eighth Wonder from 1983 to 1989 and from 2004 to 2006, she played the role of Sadie King in the ITV soap opera Emmerdale. Patsy, is that you?

Is Llama Jodie Kidd?

This guess came from Jonathan, after picking up on the "fast lane" clue. Jodie is an English fashion model, racing driver, and television personality, so this could well be a reference to her racing career.

Is Llama Kerry Katona?

The former singer of Atomic Kitten was one of the names thrown into the hat to be Llama and we can imagine that taking part in a crazy show like The Masked Dancer would be right up her street. But there is another guess on this list that we think may be on the money...

Is Llama Paris Hilton?

It is a nice idea but we would be stunned if Paris Hilton would do the UK version of The Masked Dancer - we don't even think she would do the USA one. But she has a lot of things that she does - media personality, socialite, businesswoman, model, singer, actress, and even DJ'ing - so she could add dancer to the list!

Is Llama Zoe Ball?

It is early days but for all the guesses for all the acts, we think that presenter Zoe Ball is the best. As Jonathan said, she has a great sense of humour which would be needed for this show, and Davina pointed out that the Mind the Gaps clue could be "My famous father is known for being good with numbers" which has us convinced - Johnny Ball is a mathematician.

Is Llama Sara Cox?

DJ and presenter Sara Cox was another name that was suggested, this time by Jonathan, and like Zoe, she also has a great sense of humour and we could easily imagine her signing up for this just because it would be a laugh. We aren't as convinced as we are with Zoe Ball, but we definitely won't be ruling her out just yet.

The Masked Dancer is on ITV daily at 7/7:30pm, except Wednesday, 2nd June. Episodes are also available to stream on the ITV Hub. For something else to watch, check out our TV Guide or visit our dedicated Entertainment hub.
