Someone else shared: 'Fans of the mighty boosh will know who Dippy egg is! His voice is unmistakable! It’s 100% Noel Fielding!'

Another wrote: 'Dippy Egg has to be Noel Fielding. A seasoned singer, comedian, and he hosts bake-off. It makes sense!' 

Elsewhere on the show, Dionne became the first character to be unmasked.

The legendary singer's identity was rumbled within seconds of her stepping on to the stage as both the judges and fans at home recognised her distinctive voice. 

During the episode, Dionne, 83, battled it out against Rat, while Big Foot and Dippy Egg went head-to-head and Cricket took on Maypole. 

After their performances Maypole, Dippy Egg and Weather found themselves in the bottom three, with the judges choosing to save Maypole and then Dippy Egg. 

As Weather was sent home, the judges, although all guessing that Dionne was behind the mask were still shocked to see her standing on the stage.
