so far about Scissors is that they\u2019re a hit with presenter Joel Dommett and judges Ross and Crouch, who all cite the performer as among their favourites for the season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"&quot;font-weight:\">\u201cScissors is amazing,\u201d Ross said. \u201cThey have an amazing physique and an amazing physicality about them and the costume is really slinky and fun.\u201d Crouch, meanwhile, promises that they will \u201cbring a smile to people\u2019s faces.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"&quot;font-weight:\">Scissors\u2019 tight-fitting metallic outfit is relatively simple when you compare it to some of the show\u2019s more outlandish creations, though pulling off complex moves and trying not to bump into your backing dancers when you\u2019re wearing massive scissor handles on your head can\u2019t exactly be easy. As Dommett put it, \u201cto move like that outside of the costumes would be a feat but the fact that [the contestants are] doing it with a massive head on is bizarre\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> <p><span style=\"&quot;font-weight:\">But who could be underneath that dramatic headpiece? Could it be someone famed for their crafting abilities, or perhaps a famous face who is known for their sharp tongue or cutting remarks? Or is the whole scissor thing just a massive red herring? We\u2019ll have to wait until the opening episode to find out more and receive our first proper clues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>When does The Masked Dancer start?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"&quot;font-weight:\">The new contestants will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of season 1 winner Louis Smith (aka Carwash) when they make their Masked Dancer debut on Saturday 3rd September.\u00a0 The first episode of the competition airs at 6:30pm on ITV. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Masked Dancer is airing on ITV this autumn.
