It comes after Jesse Metcalfe was the first celebrity to be un-masked during Saturday evening’s return of ITV’s Masked Dancer.
The Desperate Housewives actor, 43, was revealed as the star behind Astronaut during the episode – to the shock of judges Peter Crouch, Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross and Oti Mabuse.
The show has returned for another season with a brand new spread of celebrity contestants for viewers to guess the identities of, hiding behind costumes such as Candlestick, Scissors, Odd Socks, Prawn Cocktail and Pillar and Post.
Revealed! Masked Dancer’s Astronaut was the first contestant to be axed during Saturday’s episode, as he was unveiled as Jesse Metcalfe, 43,
During the episode, the first six celebrities took to the stage to show off their moves – with Candlestick, Astronaut and duo Pillar and Post being forced to battle for survival.
Astronaut was chosen to be sent home by the four judges, as they chanted for him to ‘take it off’ and reveal his face.
And as Jesse did, the studio audience erupted into a roar of cheers – while judges Davina and Oti couldn’t contain their shock.

‘Can’t believe Jesse Metcalfe was Astronaut,’ wrote one viewer to Twitter, while another said: ‘As if it’s the gardener from Desperate Housewives, didn’t expect that’.
And others were quick to note how the hunk hasn’t changed since his days on the ABC show, despite 18 years having passed.
‘How does he still look the same 20 years later?!’ questioned one viewer, while another echoed: ‘What an absolute welcome blast from the past Jesse Metcalfe is. Still looking as amazing as ever.’

And explaining why he decided to go for Masked Dancer, the star shared that he wanted to conquer a fear of dancing.
‘I thought it would be fun because dance is something that really intimidates me so it’s a fear that I wanted to face,’ he said.
The Masked Dancer continues on Saturday on ITV1 at 6.30pm.
