The Masked Dancer's Pillar and Post were revealed on Saturday after an injury forced the dancing duo to withdraw from the show.

Host Joel Dommett explained: "Sadly, Pillar took a tumble during rehearsals and I am absolutely gutted to tell you that on medical advice they have had to withdraw from the competition."

After the panel – Jonathan Ross, Oti Mabuse, Davina McCall and Peter Crouch – shared their final guesses as to who they thought was behind the masks, Pillar and Post were revealed to be married couple goalkeeping legend David Seaman and ice skating star Frankie Poultney.

In a statement, Frankie said of leaving the competition: "We were gutted as we absolutely loved every minute!

"It was great fun but a tumble meant our Masked journey came to an end too soon, we had such a blast and we were sad that we had to hang up our masks without being able to share our final dance with you all!

"We have loved being part of this series and we wish the other competitors the best of luck as we continue to watch at home and try to guess who all the other celebrities are!"

While an ITV spokesperson added: "Due to an injury sustained during rehearsals Pillar has had to withdraw from the competition, we wish her a speedy recovery."
