Who is Tomato Sauce on The Masked Dancer?

Tomato Sauce is one of 12 characters competing for The Masked Dancer crown.

Unfortunately they didn't manage to get to the final but they showed off some saucy moves along the way.

Tomato Sauce kicked off their appearance on the show with some Irish dancing to B'Witched favourite C'est La Vie.

They came out top in their head-to-head with Cactus.

The saucepot then "sacheted" away to Basement Jax's Red Alert, but landed in the bottom two alongside Odd Socks.

The clue packages each week pointed to food and talking, with Tomato Sauce saying they'd been left red-faced on occasion."

Picking up on the food clues, wild guesses varied from varied from Gordon Ramsay to Nigella Lawson.

A dog lead led Jonathan Ross to guess Clare Balding, before changing his mind and naming Mick Hucknall.

However, it wasn't long before the judges landed on the name Steph McGovern, who hosts Packed Lunch.

And finally the TV presenter was the sixth character to be unmasked.

After the lid was lifted on her identity Steph said: "My show came off air at five past two, I would run, jump on the quarter past two train down and that's how I got here each time."

Steph also revealed that she used some Irish dancing moves she had learned as a kid.

The clue "stomach-turning moment" hinted at her hungover interview with the PM.

"Spanner" and "blueprint" clues revealed her previous job as an engineer, and percentages were in reference to her hosting the Brexit results.

And the "Trump tomato" hinted at her interview with the former US President.

Steph said about her pal and show judge Oti Mabuse: “We’re friends but she didn’t get it for a while.

"I was pleased about that. I was over the moon with the feedback. I’m not a dancer but they made me feel like one.”
