Cactus unmasked as Gareth Malone in The Masked Dancer UK
Who is The Masked Dancer's Cactus and what do we know about them?
The Masked Dancer is returning to our screens and it’s set to be bigger than ever.
Back for a second series, a new bunch of celebrities will be competing to impress the judges Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Oti Mabuse and Peter Crouch.
The only catch is they will be performing while wearing some weird and wonderful outfits.
One of the brave stars who was hoping to come out on top was dressed as a giant cactus. Let's find out all about the person behind the disguise…
Cactus was the fourth character to be kicked out of The Masked Dancer after being revealed as Gareth Malone.
The choirmaster had a 'dance jam' against Pearly King before he was voted out.
Reflecting on his experience, Gareth said: "I have had so much fun. The last time I danced I was 7 and I danced with a broom in the school play. I mean, I danced, I danced."
Judge Davina asked: "How hard was it being taught, after you being the teacher"
"It's awful, isn't it?", Gareth replied. "I've put so many people through that, and you go, don't worry, just go out and sing in front of 4,000 people, you'll be fine... It's awful."
Some clues included:
Other guesses included Matt Willis from Busted and the boys from McFly including Danny Jones and Harry Judd.
The Masked Singer judges Jonathan Ross and Davina McCall will be returning for season two of the dancing version of the show, while Oti Mabuse and Peter Crouch are also on the panel.
