ITV’s The Masked Dancer will premiere on Saturday September 3 at 6:30pm. This is the second series of the show to air in the UK, with footballing legend Peter Crouch joining the panel.
The family friendly show will see 12 twinkle toed celebrities hide behind a costume and take on an alter ego as they compete in the dance competition. Judges Crouch, Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall and Oti Mabuse will then guess whose moves they’re watching.
The true identity of the famous faces underneath the flamboyant costumes will only be revealed once they're eliminated. There is no cash prize for the winner, however they will be handed a large trophy. Last year's winner was the Olympic gymnast Louis Smith.

1. Sea Slug
Slugs aren't known for being the most agile of creatures. But could this sea slug slither its way to the final?

This Pig looks ready to foxtrot. But will they hog the dancefloor?

We're expecting super sharp dance moves from this character. Cactus makes perfect.

Prawn Cocktail looks ready to pirouette. But will they be shrimply the best?
7. Candlestick
With 70s flares and a Night Fever stance, we can already tell this candlestick has character. But do they have the moves?

Pillar and Post are the first duo on the show. Could it be a celebrity couple?

We're expecting an out of this world performance from Astronaut. Any guesses at who's behind the mask?
