Masked Dancer's Tomato Sauce unveiled as Steph McGovern in elimination

The Masked Dancer's Tomato Sauce has been exposed as Steph McGovern in the latest episode of the hit ITV talent show.

During the latest episode of the series on Saturday, viewers learned who was under the mask when they were sent packing by the panel.

The show’s host Joel Dommett appeared alongside the panel including newcomer Peter Crouch, Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross and Oti Mabuse, who were tasked with guessing the celebrity identities.

As the show returned, fans were keen to work out who was behind the masks with a record number of 13 celebrities taking part in this series.

The Masked Dancer fans have already reached the quarter-final stage of the contest, which means that all surviving dancers take to the floor tonight in a bid to dance on into next week's stage.

The pressure to perform was cranked up a notch because proceedings climax in a dramatic double elimination - resulting in Tomato Sauce getting the chop.

However, following a nail-biting dance-off to stay anonymous and once Tomato Sauce was eliminated and removed the helmet of their costumes to chants of 'Take it off, take it off!'.

After the surprise reveal, they said: "I've loved it, I had the time of my life!"

This comes after The Masked Dancer reportedly suffered a blow last week when one of the mystery stars took a tumble and injured their ankle so badly they were forced to pull out of the ITV dance contest.

A show insider told The Sun: “It’s really bad luck. ITV obviously aren’t revealing who the injured character is, they’ll wait for Saturday’s show."

The added: “It’s ironic they got injured while they were not even wearing their crazy costume because the celebrities are barely out of them backstage.”

The knock on consequences for the show itself mean that three contestants will be unmasked on tomorrow night’s show, instead of the planned two.

So far this series, the unmasked celebrities have ranged from Desperate Housewives actor Jesse Metcalfe, aka Astronaut, to Luton-born documentarian Stacey Dooley, aka Prawn Cocktail.
