TV presenter Zoe was also revealed as Llama after fooling the judges with her dance moves.

The judges Oti Mabuse, Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross and Mo Gilligan were way off.

The panellist were left gobsmacked as the Beagle was finally revealed as the British Olympic gold medallist.

ITV viewers were shocked at Chris' first-rate dancing skills, with several flocking to Twitter to share their astonishment.

One surprised viewer wrote: "Best reveal so far! Love Christopher Dean and it's so obvious now you can see the ice skating moves in his rotines."

Another posted: "Wow...well done Christopher Dean #themaskeddancer"

A third shared: "Christopher Dean. I wondered why Beagle was so good at lifts!"

A fourth added: "I never would have guessed Christopher Dean."

The panel failed to join up the dots and instead shared a series of incorrect guesses.

There were a long list of fast-feet celebs who they thought was behind the mask - including McFly's Harry Judd, cricketer Freddie Flintoff and even footballer Jamie Redknapp.

Meanwhile fans could not believe that Zoe Ball had those dance moves up her sleeve.

One viewer wrote: "I'm shocked, I never thought it would be Zoe Ball. She did wonderfully."

However some fans were convinced all along that it was Zoe, with one writing: "I knew Zoe was llama, all the clues were there."

Tonight's clues saw Beagle take to the stage and perform with the British flag in the background.

He also revealed that he had travelled the world and one of his clues was the word "nippy", referring to the cold conditions he usually works in.

Meanwhile, Llama put on an impressive Bridgeton themed dance which threw the judges.

It means that Zip, Squirrel, Carwash, Knickerbocker Glory, Scarecrow and Frog will battle it out in the next round.

The Masked Dancer will return tomorrow night ahead of Saturday's grand final.
