Who is Candlestick on The Masked Dancer?

At the end of the sixth episode, Candlestick was unmasked as Bake Off star Liam Charles.

On signing up for the show, Liam said: “I thought it was very different to what I do normally, so I thought why not.” He added: “I found it tough not being able to talk to anyone.”

In the first episode of the series, Candlestick performed to Relight My Fire by Take That. They told the panel they’re an “authority” who knows “what it’s like to lose but win” before offering up a cryptic clue: “I kneed you to know I went via Tinseltown on my way to success.”

Candlestick also performed routines to Dangerous Love by Fuse ODG, That’s What I Want by Lil Nas X and Finesse by Bruno Mars.

Viewers correctly cracked who is behind the mask, naming TV chef and presenter Liam Charles as the one hiding in the costume.

Liam first rose to fame on the Great British Bake Off and now hosts its Professionals spin-off and judges on Junior Bake Off.

“Candlestick is deffo Liam Charles. #MaskedDancerUK” one confident viewer tweeted.

Another agreed: “#MaskedDancerUK Liam from Bake Off is Candlestick.”

And a third explained their thoughts: “#MaskedDancerUK I’m convinced that Candlestick is Liam Charles because: 1) His voice 2) “I need to let you know I went via Tinseltown on the way to success” = Paul Hollywood 3) “Kneed” = Baking 4) “Might be an authority” = Judge on Junior Bake Off”

on the panel, Jonathan Ross also correctly guessed Liam’s identity.
