The Masked Dancer winner has been revealed and is none other than retired British artistic gymnast Louis Smith.
The 32-year-old shocked the panel when he pulled off his Carwash mask and admitted that the show has been “bonkers”.
What asked what made him decide to take on the challenge, Louis said: “I love the singer version, I love dancing and I love performing.”
Revealing how he thinks it compares to The Masked Singer, Louis said: “I think this is a lot more physical obviously but I am definitely a better dancer.”
Louis said he didn’t actually find it too hard to keep his appearance on the show a secret.

“It was pretty easy keeping it a secret but was difficult not to tell my mum,” he admitted.
“They run a slick operation, everything is locked down,” he added of the much-loved ITV show.
Carwash beat fellow finalists Zip, Squirrel and Scarecrow to be crowned the winner of the first ever series.
Zip was unmasked as Take That star Howard Donald, while Squirrel turned out to be actress and singer Bonnie Langford.
EastEnders actress Tamzin Outhwaite shocked guest panelist Holly Willoughby when she revealed she had been performing as Scarecrow.
