Stacey Dooley

The Masked Dancer returned for another episode of the nation's favourite guessing game with the judging panel of Oti Mabuse, Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall ...

The Masked Dancer is back as a celebrity cast attempts to baffle, bewilder and bamboozle the panel and viewers with their fancy footwork. During the first week of The Masked Dancer, Desperate Housewives star Jesse Metcalfe was eliminated, as he was unmasked and revealed to be the dancer behind Astronaut. I think we nailed it.

Stacey Dooley confessed that a Masked Dancer clue that led the panel in a completely different direction was a complete 'red herring' as she was voted off ...

However, her two routines on Saturday night's episode of The Masked Dancer, her main performance and her Dance Jam, weren't enough to secure her another week in the show. Davina asked what an earlier fitness clue was eluding to and, being totally up front with her answer, Stacey responded: "I'm not fiT at all! And, sadly for Stacey, her dance to Girls Just Want to Have Fun, didn't sway the panel Prawn Cocktails way, with them instead choosing to save Scissors. They just threw that in to throw you off." Discussing some of the other clues that appeared during Prawn Cocktail's time on The Masked Dancer, Stacey said the planes were in reference to the fact she used to work at Luton Airport, while 'being slow to collect awards' was about the fat it took her ages to actually receive her MBE. Stacey told host Joel Dommett she'd had "an absolute ball" on the programme, before turning to the matter of some of the clues in her VTs.

Last weekend jaws dropped as Gavin and Stacey star Joanna Page was unmasked as Pig.

As Davina desperately asked what the fitness clue was about, she confessed: ""I'm not fit at all, they just threw that in to throw you off I think." Kevin was the first to react in the comments section, gushing back to his girlfriend: "Love you." "Was becoming impossible to hide and if one more person asks me if I've had my tits done in LA I'm gonna scream. @WhovianMadMan1 tweeted: "I can't believe that prawn cocktail is Stacey Dooley and good on her for being on the show #TheMaskedDancer." @cfs123plays cheered: "IT'S STACEY DOOLEY #TheMaskedDancer." "We are having a baby!" Stacey is known for her hard-hitting documentaries ranging from fast fashion to child labour. The star posted a photo of her blossoming baby bump on Instagram, where she could be seen cradling her belly. Last weekend jaws dropped as Gavin and Stacey star Joanna Page was unmasked as Pig. The documentary maker and former Strictly Come Dancing star gave an energetic performance to Dua Lipa track, Physical. @ShakyWoon posted: "Prawn Cocktail is Stacey Dooley!! #MaskedDancerUK #TheMaskedDancer."

Fans of the ITV programme were thrilled to see her remove the helmet.

She said he hadn't given her tips though, joking: "He only dances when he gets paid!" Davina McCall asked about the fitness references and Stacey quipped: "I’m not fit at all they, just threw that in to throw you off." Guesses as to her true self have varied from Rebecca Adlington, to Sheridan Smith, with ex-footballer Peter Crouch even suggesting Beverley Callard from Coronation Street. She won that programme's Glitterball trophy in 2018. The 35-year-old Luton girl was seen moving and shaking onstage dressed as a giant prawn.
