THE Masked Dancer appeared to make a huge blunder as a new trailer “gave away” who went home before the showed aired.
Fans of the ITV show claimed the channel showed a advert for this weekend’s grand final – before last Saturday’s semi-final.
Pearly King has made it through to next week’s finalAlong with OnomatopoeiaAnd Scissors
Writing on Reddit, one viewer insisted: “Just saw a trailer for the Masked Dancer final being advertised on ITV2 for NEXT Saturday night, only Onomatopoeia, Scissors and Pearly King were shown or mentioned…
“Semi-final tonight so surely that’s a big c*ck up right there!!!”
Someone replied: “Yes apparently they aired the finale trailer early according to Instagram, big mess up.”
And a third confirmed: “Yep it was on ITV2.”
Sure enough, during Saturday night’s show, Onomatopoeia, Scissors and Pearly King made it through to the final.
Meanwhile Sea Slug and Odd Socks were both unmasked.
Sea Slug was revealed to be Olympian and former Strictly star Denise Lewis, with judges Davina McCall and Oti Mabuse both guessing correctly.
But Odd Socks shocked the entire panel – also made up of Peter Crouch, John Bishop and Jonathan Ross – when none other than Girls Aloud singer Kimberley Walsh revealed herself.
