Who is Poodle? Clue and theories so far...

Before Poodle's first performance, they referenced dogs, queens, performing, and the Royal Variety Performance.

Poodle also said that they 'loved a bit of glamour', and many viewers are convinced it's John Barrowman.

After Poodle performed, however, another name got thrown into the mix - with many people sure that Poodle is Paul O'Grady.

Paul is known for his love of dogs, and presented TV show For the Love of Dogs.

One person wrote: "Poodle is Paul o’ Grady???", and another added: "Poodle is deffo Paul O’Grady… for the love of dogs, Lily Savage (drag queen, where the queens come from)."

The full list of contestants is as follows:

• Chandelier
• Bagpipes
