There was an unusual unmasking on ITV's The Masked Dancer as it was revealed that duo Pillar & Post had sadly had to withdraw from the competition after Pillar took a tumble in rehearsals and injured her ankle. Host Joel Dommett said it had been a "particularly eventful week" as he announced that they would be forced to say goodbye to the zany dance show's first couple during Saturday night's show (October 2).
Pillar was not in costume at the time she sustained the injury. Joel explained: “Sadly, Pillar took a tumble during rehearsals and I am absolutely gutted to tell you that on medical advice they have had to withdraw from the competition.” He added: "But that doean't mean this case is all wrapped up we still need to find out who they are."
The guessing game panellists Jonathan Ross, Oti Mabuse, Davina McCall and Peter Crouch then shared their final guesses as to who they thought was behind the masks. And Peter's guess was spot-on as Pillar & Post were revealed to be married couple goalkeeping legend David Seaman and former Dancing On Ice professional skater Frankie Poultney.
