Davina McCall made a dazzling return to The Masked Dancer as the bonkers TV show returned The dancing spin-off of ITV's The Masked Singer burst back onto screens on Saturday night (September 3) with the former Big Brother host back on the star-studded panel.
She was once again joined by chat show host Jonathan Ross and former Strictly Come Dancing professional Oti Mabuse but with comedian Mo Gilligan forced to miss this series out due to work commitments, the trio were joined by a new yet very familiar face.
Taking up the fourth seat on the panel is former England footballer Peter Crouch. Host Joel Dommett introduced him as the 'inventor of the robot' before making him show off his classic goal celebration. But then it was over the business as the panel got to see the first six of 12 celebrities hiding their identity behind more extravagant costumes.
Prior to the first show of the series airing, Davina took to Instagram to share a full glimpse of her outfit. The 54-year-old showed off her incredible tanned legs in a mini-dress. The outfit featured a plunging neckline and had been adorned with a glittering pink and blue floral pattern.
She kept accessories to a minimum, opting for just a silver bracelet and added another pop of colour to her feet as she donned a pair of powder blue heels. "Tonight on the #maskeddanceruk I am wearing @rebeccavallancegasan with jolly high shoes," she captioned the snap.
And it's no surprise Davina was being flooded with compliments. Abby Clancy, the wife of new panelist Peter, simply replied: " Stunner," with a string of red heart emojis. Oti was quick to comment: "And looking hot." Designer Melissa Odabash told Davina: " You look 25," to which fans seemed to agree.
@arabellaloulou_ said: "Wow you look amazing and so young here." @am_thomas06 wrote: "You look bl**dy amazing. Love the dress too." @carolinehic commented: "Like a fine wine .. gets better with age." @deborahdoranrenshaw replied: "You look gorgeous." @phillips4575 added: "You’re like Benjamin Button."
And Davina also had the help of her boyfriend when it came to her finished look. "Hair by @mdlondon," she penned with a red heart, referring to her other half and hair stylist Michael Douglas.
The TV star's trademark dark locks had been styled into an updo which Michael explained on his own Instagram page as he shared a selfie with his partner and a series of close-up images of her har. "#themaskeddanceruk tonight hair is a simple messy bun. No fringe. Blow dry, texturising spray, pony tail, twist into a bun. 3-4 Kirby grips. Boom," he said.
Davina lives in Kent with boyfriend Michael antwo of her children Tilly and Chester from her previous relationship. The loved-up couple tend to keep tight-lipped on their romance but do host a podcast together. At the start of the year Davina did, however, tell The Sun: "We are best friends."
Speaking about how the pair are able to work together as well as enjoy a successful relationship, Davina explained: "We just get on really well at work and we always have done – that's never changed."
