ITV The Masked Dancer viewers plead 'surely not' as they 'unmask' Post's identity

The Masked Dancer viewers are convinced they have "unmasked" Pillar and Post's identity.

Joel Dommett returned to host Saturday's edition of the popular ITV programme. A batch of five celebrities donned extravagant costumes and performed a dance routine on tonight's show.

Judges Peter Crouch, Davina McCall, Oti Mabuse and Jonathan Ross were eagerly trying to guess who was behind the mask. Pillar and Post are the first ever duo on the programme and completed a routine to Giant by Calvin Harris and Rag'n'Bone Man.

Crouch was convinced he had worked out Post's identity after a number of clues hinted he was a former footballer. He said: ""I know those hands."

The former Liverpool FC striker spotted went on to guess it was Arsenal legend, David Seaman. The goalkeeper met his wife, Frankie Pultney, while training for Dancing On Ice in 2008 and Crouch was convinced they had rekindled their partnership for this season of The Masked Dancer.

Viewers following the show on Twitter agreed and were taken aback by the possibility Seaman was behind the Post costume.

Katy posted: "I reckon Pillar and Post are David Seaman and Frankie now they've said it. They even did the aeroplane spin like on Dancing on Ice"

Paul said: "Post is definitely David Seaman and Frankie Poultney"

Gem added: "Pillar and Post is 1 million percent David Seaman and Frankie. Their whole dance is Dancing on Ice moves"

Laura commented: "Convinced pillar and post is David seaman and Frankie from dancing on Ice now"

Richard said: "Surely not goalie @thedavidseaman on #TheMaskedDancer"
