Who is left on The Masked Dancer UK?

The judges of The Masked Dancer took a few wild guesses and thought Bradley Walsh of Bill Bailey could have been disguised as the Rubber Chicken.

It was finally unveiled as skiing legend Eddie The Eagle at the end of last night’s episode.

On Monday, burlesque star Dita Von Teese was unmasked as the Beetroot before being kicked out of the competition, joining The Viper aka Jordan Banjo and Louise Redknapp, formerly known as Flamingo.

This means that Beagle, Carwash, Frog and Squirrel have all secured their places for the next round of The Masked Dancer.
