Masked Dancer UK sees Sea Slug and Odd Socks revealed as huge stars in shock double elimination

The Masked Dancer UK unmasked yet another two popular characters tonight, with Sea Slug and Odd Socks waving goodbye to the star studded competition.

Sea Slug was first to be evicted and subsequently revealed in front of host Joel Dommett and judges Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Oti Mabuse and Peter Crouch - who were joined by guest panellist John Bishop.

This week saw Odd Socks, Onomatopoeia, Scissors, Pearly King and Sea Slug all battle it out for a spot in the coveted final episodes - each of which holding high hopes to win the show overall.

The Mirror reports however, that unfortunately for the mysterious Sea Slug, their time on the show came to an end as the panel decided to unmask them. As the headwear came off, it was revealed to the crowd that Olympic gold medallist Denise Lewis was behind the mask, leaving everyone stunned.

On doing the show, Denise admitted struggling with the secrecy and said: "That has been the most challenging part of doing the show - not being able to say a word."

She wasn't the only one eliminated though, and at the end of the episode Kimberley Walsh was unmasked as Odd Socks. The Girls Aloud star said she was doing it for her children, and hadn't told them about her appearance on the show.

Last weekend, Candlestick was unveiled as Bake Off star Liam Charles leaving the panel reeling, meanwhile, Pillar and Post were forced to withdrawn from the show after an injury recently - and were soon revealed to be David Seaman and Frankie Poultney.

In a statement, Frankie said of leaving the competition: "We were gutted as we absolutely loved every minute! It was great fun but a tumble meant our Masked journey came to an end too soon, we had such a blast and we were sad that we had to hang up our masks without being able to share our final dance with you all!
