Last night Stacey Dooley was unveiled as Prawn Cocktail on the ITV dance show The Masked Dancer and the secretly pregnant star has opened up about the behind the scenes.
Taking to Instagram, the star told her 1 million followers that she'd been vomiting so much during her first trimester that her dressing room stank.
Sharing a selfie with her hoodie labelled 'PRAWN' and a looking ready to dig into a packet of Walkers prawn cocktail crisps, the red haired star made an apology to her runner.
Stacey wrote: "A dancing, preggo prawn.
"You're WELCOME [prawn emoji]
"The choreographers were such sweethearts, and the entire crew BTS.
"Ta so much.
"So fun! (Also, so sorry to my gorgeous runner, I just know my dressing room must've stunk of 1st trimester sickness [laughing emoji])"
Fans flooded to the comments to compliment the 35-year-old journalist, emphasising her talent on the dance floor and the strength to compete during pregnancy.
One wrote: "I loved it you were amazing!!! And to do it in early pregnancy too. My favourite Prawn [prawn emoji]"
A second penned: "So so proud of you!!! You absolutely smashed it! Little one will be so lucky to have such a fabulous mum!!"
"You were amazing, loved Prawn Cocktail" a third said.
Fans even opened up about their own experiences of pregnancy with some sharing their cravings and others ecstatic that they were able to guess Stacey was the secret dancer.
One commented: "Haha brilliant… I’m actually impressed that I guessed correctly. I’m usually useless on the dancing version… the Masked Singer is much easier!"
The Masked Dancer sees five celebrities attempt to remain anonymous by dancing in elaborate costumes on the nation's favourite guessing game.
In last night's episode the bottom two, in this case Scissors and Prawn Cocktail, performed a second time in a dance-off to see who would remain on the show.
While Scissors was saved with their performance of Demi Lovato's Confident, Stacey was revealed as Prawn Cocktail following her dance to Miley Cyrus's Girls Just Want to Have Fun.
After lifting off her mask, Stacey said: "I had the time of my life. I loved it. I just wanted to pretend to be like a daft, drunk, annoying aunt. I think we nailed it.
The documentary maker said that she wanted to go with the shrimp costume as she wanted something that wasn't "too sexy or girly".
The Masked Dancer returns for more fancy footwork on ITV at 6.30pm on Saturdays
