The Masked Dancer 2022: Who is Astronaut and what clues do we know?
The Masked Dancer is back on ITV and we couldn’t be more excited.
The second series of the popular show will see a whole host of brave celebs taking to the dancefloor.
It will then be up to judges Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Oti Mabuse and Peter Crouch to try and figure out who is behind the weird and wonderful outfits.
One of the brave stars who was hoping to come out on top is Astronaut, let’s find out all about the person behind the disguise…
Who is Astronaut?
Unfortunately, Astronaut became the first celeb to be booted off the show and was revealed to be Jesse Metcalfe.
The clues given before he was unmasked include:
- Says their mission on this planet ‘is to explore’
- Is here to ‘seek out new adventures,’
- A fan of a cheeseboard
- 'Cow jumped over the moon' was a reference to the calf in Metcalfe
- ‘Space might be the front…ear, but you may have heard from me by the same name more than once’
Some of the stars guessed by viewers at home included Brian Cox and Alex James.
When Desperate Housewives' Jesse was revealed, Davina McCall couldn’t hide her surprise, shouting: "Oh my goodness," while Oti Mabuse added: "I think I’m dying right now!"
Fans were also shocked, with one writing on Twitter: "Not Jesse Metcalfe! #TheMaskedDancer #MaskedDancerUK," and someone else wrote: "Wow I didn’t expect @jessemetcalfe to be the Astronaut but you still did great tonight and a great show too well done Jesse! :) 😊😀❤️💙💛💜💗👏👍 #MaskedDancerUK."
