Who is Sea Slug on The Masked Dancer?
At the end of the semi-final (15 October), Sea Slug was unmasked as Olympian Denise Lewis.
She told host Joel Dommett: “It’s been outstanding, seriously!”
Of keeping the secret she said: “That has been the most challenging part of doing the show – not being able to say a word.”
In their first dance, Sea Slug performed to When I Grow Up by Pussycat Dolls before dancing to Rockabye by Clean Bandit, Sean Paul and Anne-Marie. Their latest two routines were to Let’s Get Loud by Jennifer Lopez and Under The Sea from The Little Mermaid.
In a cryptic clue to the panel, they teased: “You’ve gotta hand it to me, this Sea Slug knows how to scrub up well” while their VT featured clues into a Donald Trump Maga-style hat.
Further clues included a smiley face in their autograph and the word “Goddess”.
Fans correctly identified that sports star Denise was behind the mask.
One on Twitter remarked: “Sea Slug 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 sound like Denise Lewis #TheMaskedDancer”
Another claimed: “Sea Slug is definitely Denise Lewis. A Google search shows she does that smiley face shown in the extra clue on her autograph. #MaskedDancerUK”
And a third announced: “#SeaSlug on @MaskedSingerUK is definitely Denise Lewis!!”
