The 81-year-old TV presenter has become the latest celebrity to exit the ITV show, after she took to the stage in an eye-catching costume.

Gloria - - who has previously appeared on programmes such as 'Loose Women' and 'This Morning' - found herself in competition against Bagpipes, Panda, Poodle, Rockhopper, and Traffic Cone. But her efforts weren't enough to save herself from an early exit.

Gloria tried her best to keep her identity hidden from the judges - Mo Gilligan, Davina McCall, Rita Ora and Jonathan Ross - before they decided to send her home from the competition.

During the show, host Joel Dommett announced the names of the contestants who were in danger of being eliminated. And the judges subsequently decided to axe the Snow Leopard and Gloria was told to remove her mask.

Asked why she wanted to join the series, Gloria explained: "I’m of a certain age and it was a challenge. It sounded like a lot of fun and I thought I’d like to try it."

Gloria's elimination from the series follows Heather Small, who exited the show on Saturday night (01.01.22) after performing a rendition of Patsy Cline's 'Crazy' while dressed in a Chandelier costume.

Heather, 56, confessed to disguising her distinctive voice on purpose and revealed that she was amused by some of the judges guesses, which included names such as Jane McDonald, Elaine Paige, Rachel Riley and Debbie McGee.

After her exit was confirmed, Heather said: "Hilarious, as they were so off the mark!"
