Masked Dancer's Sea Slug finally unmasked as female Olympian in tense semi-final

Sea Slug has been eliminated from The Masked Dancer UK and unmasked as a famous Olympian – missing out on making it to the final next week.

The much loved celebrity contestant was unmasked on Saturday night (October 15) as sporting star Denise Lewis in the semi-final that will also see one other dancer unmasked tonight.

Sea Slug being booted off the show means they narrowly missed out on making it to the grand finale that will take place next Saturday (October 22).

Denise isn’t the only dancer to get unmasked tonight – with either Pearly King, Onomatopoeia, Odd Socks or Scissors being unmasked very soon.

This comes after last week’s tense elimination that saw Candlestick booted off the popular ITV programme.

Last week Candlestick was unmasked as Liam Charles from Great British Bake Off after judge Jonathan Ross correctly guessed his identity.
