Who is Beagle? Find out all the clues and theories so far about The Masked Dancer contestant.

The Masked Dancer is *finally* here, and we are now just days away from the final.

Much like The Masked Singer, it will see mystery celebs do a performance while dressed in an elaborate costume - but they will be dancing, rather than singing, in this show.

One of the characters taking part is Beagle - here's everything we know about him.

**Update: Beagle has been unmasked: scroll down to find out who was behind the mask...**

Beagle clues

Beagle said in their first VT that things kicked off when he got his 'first pair of boots', and alluded to the fact he had flown planes.

On Tuesday night's show, he gave some more clues.

"I've been upstaged by a comedy legend."

"I'd rather it didn't leak out where I am originally from."

Beagle has also stated that Beagles are 'very homely, but there was a time where I was home less and less'.

Who was Beagle?

Beagle was unmasked on Thursday night, and it was Christoper Dean behind the mask!

After he was unmasked, he said: "It's been great fun, it's nice to finally be able to breathe again."

Who are The Masked Dancer judges?

Oti Mabuse, Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross and Mo Gilligan are on the panel for the series.

Speaking about his excitement for the show, Jonathan Ross said: "What people don’t know is that secretly I am an expert in dance and can spot a ball change from a box step no problem. The title of best detective on the panel is most certainly coming my way!”

Mo Gilligan added: "I love The Masked Singer. It’s a crazy bit of joy, which we all need right now - so when ITV asked if I wanted to join The Masked Dancer I, of course, said a huge yes! I’m really looking forward to getting back with the team for another brilliant series."

Who is hosting The Masked Dancer?

The Masked Singer's Joel Dommett will return to present the show.

Speaking about his excitement for the series, Joel said: "Well, this is set to be an amazing fun twist…will someone do the twist?! The Masked Dancer is that little bit of silly fun our lives need right now and I’m so excited to be hosting it. I’m looking forward to some incredible costumes, epic performances and accidentally saying Masked Singer at least five times."
