Newly-unmasked The Masked Dancer UK star Steph McGovern has revealed the secret clues she dropped beforehand.
The TV presenter was unveiled as Tomato Sauce over the weekend (October 2) after being eliminated from the competition, and admitted on yesterday's (October 3) Steph's Packed Lunch on Channel 4 that she's "rubbish at keeping secrets".
"If you want gossip, I am the person to go normally, I'm as leaky as a sieve," she quipped. "It was killing me inside not to tell anyone, it was only my partner who knew."

Recalling how she managed to swerve questions about whether she was Tomato Sauce at a recent event, Steph explained: "I was at an Irish dancing competition a few weeks ago and all my old dancing crowd, old teachers and everyone bombed over to me going, 'Are you Tomato Sauce?'
"And I was like 'No, no, no, my knees are much tighter on a rock, you know I would never rock like that...' And they were like 'That’s true, actually'."
Fellow presenter John Whaite then noted how she had dropped clues on Steph's Packed Lunch in recent weeks, as Steph recalled: "I said 'oh tomato sauce goes well with everything'. I knew I'd already filmed it at that point."

She further revealed of how she disguised her accent: "You know when you hear the voice of Tomato Sauce? That's me putting on a posh voice. I had to keep recording it over and over again because every so often a northern word would slip out…"
As for her experience on the show, Steph admitted that "the anonymity was incredible", adding: "If you could see my face behind the mask, I was singing along to every word. I was living my best life.
"When I then got unmasked and I had to dance, I got the dance completely wrong because everyone could see me. I suddenly felt naked."
Saturday's show also saw Pillar and Post unmasked as former footballer David Seaman and wife Frankie Poultney after the latter had to pull out due to injury.
