Who is Cactus on The Masked Dancer?

Like the first series of The Masked Dancer, there were plenty of bizarre costumes taking to the stage.

Cactus was one of those who showed off their best dance moves on season two.

It was down to the judges to work out who is behind the mask through VT clues and their dancing skills.

Their identity was revealed as they were the fourth to leave the show.

Choirmaster Gareth Malone was the celebrity behind the mask.

Gareth said: “I have had so much fun. The last time I danced I was 7 and I danced with a broom in the school play. I mean, I danced, I danced.”
