Looks like this impressive Phoenix costume will be taking over the stage.

In this huge costume – it’s Rhino!

Davina McCall even teases that Rhino’s performance made her cry! She shares: “Rhino has been particularly emotive. There are people who completely draw you in.

“It’s lucky for Rhino, actually, that they can pull some emotion out of the bag, because it’s very, very hard in that costume to give us anything at all.

“They are massive, and they are quite humble. They keep putting their little hooves together, it looks so sweet. If it’s possible to have a sweet rhino, this is it.”

Could Otter be the winner?

This adorable Otter is also joining the show!

Mo Gilligan singles Otter out as one of his favourites: “And then there’s Otter, I love otters, one of my favourite animals. Otters have a stone that they have to smash clams, so ours has little pockets for the stones on the costume.”

So cute!

Joining the show as the first duo – it’s Cat & Mouse!

Last year, The Masked Dancer had its first duo and now The Masked Singer follows suit with Cat & Mouse.

Footballer David Seaman and Dancing on Ice star Frankie Poultney turned out to be The Masked Dancer‘s first duo.

But who could be under this duo’s costumes?

Joel Dommett says it’s a challenging guess: “Cat and Mouse! They are great. Weirdly, you would’ve thought, because there are two of them, it’d be easier to guess, but it’s harder, I think.

“It’s really difficult, because there are two of them, you can’t hear the voice as much.”
