The 'Junior Bake Off' judge stunned panel Jonathan Ross, Oti Mabuse, Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan and Peter Crouch when he revealed his identity after landing in the bottom two with Omomatopoeia.

Mo - who had guessed Olly Murs - exclaimed: "I know him! How did I not get it was you? I'm so annoyed at myself."

Liam replied: "Bro, I have no idea."

Host Joel Dommett admitted everyone was stunned by the 25-year-old baker because they were "all under the illusion that you were a professional dancer, or at least someone with some dance experience".

Liam said: "I promise you I have zero dance experience."

Liam was asked about his choice of costume and revealed it was another clue.

He said: "Cakes, candles..."

The baker admitted he hadn't told anyone he was taking part in the show but had had a great time.

He said: "I wanted to keep it a surprise because no one would expect me to do something like this, especially wearing such a tight costume.

"I've absolutely loved it."

Liam's unmasking means Onomatopoeia, Pearly King, Odd Socks, Scissors, Sea Slug all go through to the semi-finals.

Last weekend's show saw Steph McGovern unmasked as Tomato Sauce.

Upon her elimination, she said: "I've loved it, I had the time of my life!"

The 'Steph's Packed Lunch' host had become the third celebrity to face the chop on the ITV show that night, following the shock eviction of David and Frankie Seaman, who had been posing as Pillar and Post but had been forced to pull out of the competition due to an injury.

At the top of the show, host Joel said: "Sadly, Pillar took a tumble during rehearsals and I am absolutely gutted to tell you that on medical advice they have had to withdraw from the competition."

The show has already seen the departure actress of 'Gavin and Stacey' actress Joanna Page - who had dressed as a Pig - as well as documentary host Stacey Dooley, who was unveiled as a Prawn Cocktail, and choirmaster Gareth Malone, who was revealed to have been performing as Cactus.
