The Masked Dancer fans convinced Cactus is Olympic champion after spotting seven ‘clues’
THE Masked Dancer fans are convinced that Cactus is an Olympic champion after spotting seven ‘clues’.
The second series of the popular ITV show returned to our screens last Saturday – and viewers are already trying to work out the famous faces behind the costumes.
Many have taken to Reddit to discuss who they think is Cactus.
A handful think that the man behind the mask is none other than Usain Bolt, 36.
One fan pointed out on the discussion website that the prickly character incorporated the Bolt pose into their routine.
The Reddit user, named im_just_called_lucy, also shared a number of other clues that pointed towards Catus being the Jamaican runner.

They explained that the character has made references to Mexico, a football team that he nearly signed to in 2018.
That isn’t the only football clue that Cactus as made as he’s also taken part in Soccer Aid.
They have also made references to “champions” and Usain is champion sprinter.
Cactus has lightening bolts on the piñata – which links to his surname.

The fan also pointed out that the height difference between Cactus and host Joel Dommett seems about right to what it would be if it was Usain.
Another fan called segamad66 added that there are eight flowers on Cactus’ costume – and Usain has eight gold medals.
Usain is known as the greatest sprinter of all time as he is the record holder for the 100 metres, 200 metres, and 4 × 100 metres relay.
Meanwhile other fans think that Cactus is McFly star Dougie Poynter.
The musician, 34, was named by viewers after Saturday’s night second episode of the ITV guessing game.
One fan tweeted confidently: “Cactus is @DougiePoynter – 100%.”
The clues offered for Cactus in the character’s first appearance included guitars and links to performing or appearing in big venues.
He also said Busted – which led many to make guesses at members of that band, though Dougie also performed with McBusted.
Another viewer wrote: “Cactus is Dougie Poynter from Mcfly. 4 members in the band; busted = Mcbusted, Guitar pic, points of a cactus.”
