Masked Dancer David Seaman jokes about reason behind Pillar to Post switch on ITV show

Everyone should have guessed that 'massive package' was Seaman...

Former England goalie David Seaman was originally supposed to be Pillar on the Masked Dancer, but swapped to become Post as he felt a 'massive package' more apt, ho ho!

He also admits his rather large post box hat got in the way of him lifting wife Frankie, but don’t let that spoil his joke.

David says the experience was more nerve wracking than stepping up to goalkeep a penalty for England in the World Cup - and says it normally takes him 10 pints to get on the dancefloor.

"Trying to save a penalty in front of however many million in a World Cup... I would look forward to that," he laughs. "This this is a different level."

The pair performed as Pillar and Post but had to leave the competition after ice skater Frankie sustained an injury backstage - while walking around in trainers.

The professional ice skater tried to dose herself up with painkillers to continue, but medics ruled her out of performing.

Despite says she returned to set "high as a kite" from hospital to film their final scenes, which became understandably surreal.

"I remember having this kind of out of body experience where I was like, this is bonkers," laughs Frankie. "Dressed as a postbox."
