THE Masked Dancer star Steph McGovern has revealed the clever trick she used to cover up her real identity on the show.
The TV presenter was unmasked over the weekend – as she told fans she “absolutely loved” being on the hit ITV show.
土曜日の夜に, the judging panel chose to unmask Tomato Sauce, before it was revealed that Steph, 40, was under the mask.
Discussing her time on 仮面の踊り子, Steph shared that it had been “incredibly hard” to keep her appearance on the show a secret.
しかしながら, as she spoke on her TV show Steph’s Packed Lunch yesterday, she revealed one handy trick that appeared to help.
Steph told fans that she spoke in a posh southern accent in order to “cover up” her tell-tale “northern vowels” during the VT appearances.
The star also apologised to everyone she had “lied to” after she was unmasked after she previously denied being on the programme during an episode of Steph’s Packed Lunch.
When quizzed on whether her “family knew” about her time in the competition, Steph hit back: “Just my partner.”
After being voted off the show, Steph shared: “I love the show and I love dancing. I’m rubbish at keeping secrets so I’m proud of myself.”
After her big reveal, fans of the hit show said they’d guessed it was Steph all along – thanks to a series of helpful clues.
