Who is Cactus on The Masked Dancer?

Cactus made it to the end of the fourth episode where they were unmasked as choirmaster and broadcaster Gareth Malone.

Gareth said after taking off his mask: “I have had so much fun. The last time I danced I was seven and I danced with a broom in the school play.”

He went on to reveal: “I have never danced before other than around my kitchen or in night clubs in my youth and I’ve always really liked it and always felt like it was something I should do, should try and I thought this was a really fun way to do it.

“I really like the show and I thought it would be very unexpected for me to do this. Lots of people have actually tweeted before about whether or not it was me in one of the costumes on The Masked Singer but never on The Masked Dancer.”

The panel didn’t get close to Gareth’s identity, with guesses including Dougie Poynter, Danny Jones, Tom Fletcher and Amir Khan.

In his first appearance, Cactus performed to Livin’ La Vida Loca by Ricky Martin while his second appearance saw a routine to Too Darn Hot by Cole Porter
