Joanna Page has been unveiled as the Pig on The Masked Dancer UK. The Welsh actress, best known for playing Stacey on Gavin and Stacey, is the second celebrity to be unmasked on the 2022 series.
The 45-year-old found herself in the bottom two alongside Pearly King and Cactus who were ultimately saved by judges Peter Crouch, Davina McCall, Oti Mabuse and Joanthan Ross.
Joanna managed to completely bamboozle the panel, with guesses including Frankie Dettori and Richard Hammond. "You were all absolutely miles away," Joel Dommett told the judges as Joanna took off her mask.

Asked what she thought of the guesses, Joanna said: "Oh my goodness, really quite funny. I was quite pleased you all thought I was a man." The actress then revealed the number 47 was a big clue as it was the Barry house her character lived in on Gavin and Stacey.
In a sweet moment, Joanna then shared that her kids were unaware she was doing The Masked Dancer. She said: "The children don't know or anything, this is their favourite programme."
Of course, while no one in Wales will have had any trouble recognising Joanna, the unveiling had some viewers confused and they took to social media to say they didn't recognise the star. One, @jagerkingjules, asked simply "Who?" while another, @Phoenix55049919, said: "F****** hilarious!! Second week where nobody knows ya D list has been celebrity."
And a third, @Speedqueenie, said: "I'm glad they gave her name, coz I didn't recognise her at all."
Pig was eliminated after going head to head with Sea Slug, Onomatopoeia, Pearly King, Cactus and Tomato Sauce. Last week saw Candlestick, Scissors, Astronaut, Odd Socks, Prawn Cocktail and Pillar and Post take to the stage, with Astronaut failing to impress the judges.
At the end of the first edition, Astronaut was unveiled to be Desperate Housewives star Jesse Metcalfe. When asked why he decided to take part, Jesse said: "I thought it would be fun because dance is something that really intimidates me so it's a fear that I wanted to face.
