ITV Masked Dancer viewers convinced Tomato Sauce is popular Channel 4 presenter

2022-09-11

The Masked Dancer fans think Tomato Sauce is Channel 4 star Steph McGovern after "working out" the character's identity from their flirty clues.

Viewers of the ITV programme have heard the character describe themselves as "the heart of the table," adding: "many an important conversation is had while breaking bread."

They also teased that they "put the sauce into saucy" and were a "staple at meal times."

The cheeky character continued: "Have a squeeze, I won't judge what you put it on."

From the clues, fans think that they have 'worked out' that Tomato Sauce is presenter Steph McGovern, who hosts popular Channel 4 talk show programme Steph's Packed Lunch.

One fan said: "Tomato I'm saying @StephLunch from @PackedLunchC4," while a second added: "Tomato sauce is Steph McGovern."

A third agreed, saying: "Ketchup Steph McGovern."

Steph regularly welcomes a variety of guests onto her lunchtime talk show, which could be linked to Tomato Sauce's clue that "a good sauce can be paired with anything."

She also previously hosted BBC Breakfast, before leaving in 2019 to join Channel 4, along with BBC's Watchdog and Can Britain Have a Pay Rise?

However, other fans have taken to social media to guess that Tomato Sauce could be a famous TV chef.

Viewers think that the character's real identity could be Nigella Lawson or Gordon Ramsay, with one fan saying: "If Tomato Sauce isn't Nigella Lawson I'll eat my hat."

A second commented: "I think it could be either Nigella or Gordon Ramsay."

"OMG Nigella makes perfect sense now! But I don't know if she's too cool to do this show," added a third.

Meanwhile, another fan said: "Imagine Gordon under that costume! Stranger things have happened."

Speculation about Tomato Sauce's identity comes after the ITV show returned to our screens for its first episode of the new series, with characters including Candlestick, Scissors, Astronaut, Odd Socks, Prawn Cocktail and Pillar and Post.

Desperate Housewives hunk Jesse Metcalfe and Gavin and Stacey actress Joanna Page are the two famous faces who've been unmasked so far this series.

The Masked Dancer continues Saturday on ITV
