Who is The Masked Dancer UK's Pig?

One talented star who was hoping to keep their identity a secret on The Masked Dancer season two was Pig.

Pig jigged away to Katrina And The Waves' hit song Walking On Sunshine in a battle with Sea Slug.

But it was the porker who lost out in the audience vote - ending up in the bottom three before being chosen by the judges to be unmasked.

Telly farmers Jimmy Doherty or Kaleb Cooper from Clarkson’s Farm were first suspected as trotting inside this costume.

And the judges' guesses were equally wide of the mark as they couldn't even agree on gender.

Jonathan Ross chose Richard Hammond or Sandi Toksvig, Davina McCall opted for Olympian Jessica Ennis Hill, and Oti Mabuse plumped for Anita Rani.

However when she was unmasked, Pig was revealed to be Gavin And Stacey actress Joanna Page.
