The Masked Dancer: All the clues you need to know
Forget The Masked Singer: it's all about The Masked Dancer now. The new ITV2 show sees celebrities dressing up in ridiculous and over-the-top costumes, including a face covering, and dancing on stage, while revealing clues about themselves.
Each week, a different famous person is unmasked, and viewers find out who was behind the moves. But unlike The Masked Singer, where fans can attempt to identify the singer's voice, the clues become much more important when you're watching someone dancing. So, what have The Masked Dancer clues been so far?
