Masked Dancer viewers rage as Pillar and Post escape bottom two as Prawn Cocktail is unmasked
THE MASKED Dancer viewers were left fuming after Pillar and Post survived another week.
Although dancing duo are the show’s first ever pair, many fans complained after Prawn Cocktail was booted off tonight’s show.
The pair, who are a red postbox with eyes and a big pile of mail, trid to impress the judges with their fast-moving routine to Rag’n’Bone Man’s hit tracks I Am Giant.
The judges insisted that the double act were a married couple and have strong links to sport.
They chucked around a few guesses including footie legend David Seaman and wife Frankie.
The mystery pair impressed the judges enough to secure a place in the next round, while Prawn Cocktail and Scissors battled it out in the bottom two.

But viewers were left stunned that Pillar and Post got through over the two contestants in the bottom.
One wrote: “Pillar and Post cannot dance, they should be the ones going home tonight. #TheMaskedDancer”
A second posted: “Pillar and Post are terrible. I wanted them to go tonight over Prawn Cocktail. #TheMaskedDancer”
Another added: “Why is Pillar and Post still here?! They should have been sent home. #TheMaskedDancer”

Unfortunately Prawn Cocktail was elimated tonight and was finally unmasked.
The four Masked Dancer judges got a shock when journalist and presenter Stacey Dooley revealed their identity.
Oti Mabuse and Jonathan Ross had guessed her identity correctly so were thrilled to see her turn around.
Speaking about why she signed up for the show, Stacey said: “Do you know I had the time of my life, I just wanted to pretend to be a daft, drunk, annoying aunt.”
Davina McCall asked about the fitness-based routine but Stacey said: “I’m not fit at all, I just threw that in to throw you off.”
The documentary maker was then asked why she had chosen Prawn Cocktail.
She said: “I wanted to be something really daft, I didn’t want to be anything sexy or girly.”
The panel also asked if her boyfriend, former Strictly pro Kevin Clifton, knew and she said he did.

But when asked if he had helped her with her moves, Stacey – who met Kevin on the BBC dancing show when they were paired together – joked: “No he won’t dance unless he’s being paid.”
She concluded: “It’s been a scream, a total, total scream.”
