The Masked Dancer's Holly Willoughby gobsmacked as Scarecrow is Tamzin Outhwaite

The Masked Dancer's Scarecrow has finally been revealed and it is none other than Tamzin Outhwaite.

The ex-EastEnders star, 50, fooled the judges as they believed she was a different celebrity on the show - with some guesses being Michelle Keegan and Patsy Palmer.

She surprised This Morning's Holly Willoughby after taking the mask off, with the TV presenter shrieking: "I actually can’t believe it! We're practically related!"

Speaking about why she decided to take on the challenge, Tamzin revealed: "I was a fan of The Masked Singer and the judges and I loved the trick element of it."

She also summed up her time on the show as "weird, wonderful and hilarious".

Tamzin admitted performing on the show brought her a new-found confidence.

She said: "Lots of nerves always but the feeling of nobody knowing who you are is liberating. I feel slightly more confident with the mask on but can’t breathe as well."

Tamzin also revealed she has some favourite judges on the show.

"I love the panel – Oti really knows what she is talking about and her and Davina have been closest in their guesses," she said.

Mo Gilligan, Jonathan Ross, Oti Mabuse and Davina McCall all had very different answers as to who they thought Scarecrow was.

Jonathan thought it was GBBO's Mary Berry at one point after spotting a clue with doughnuts.

But they were all shocked when they found out it was Tamzin.

The actress added that she didn't mind about not winning the competition, saying: "As long as I didn’t go first I was happy!"

Taking to Twitter, fans shared their thoughts on the incredible reveal.

One person shared: "Wasn’t expecting this! Tamzin Outhwaite! #MaskedDancer."
