The Masked Dancer 2022’s Pillar and Post ‘unmasked’ as This Morning veterans – and the clues stack up
THE Masked Dancer’s first ever double act Pillar and Post have been named as This Morning stars by fans.
The pair, who are a postbox with eyes and a big pile of mail, appeared for the first time last night.
Oti Mabuse reckoned they could be This Morning‘s Rochelle Humes and her husband Marvin.
There was a hint that the show was involved when Pillar and Post turned up at a door with a cheque to give away in the clue package.
However, Masked Dancer viewers had another This Morning double act in mind – saying the pair were Nik and Eva Speakman.
Many pointed out the voices sounded just like the pair, who are veterans of the show, often appearing to cure people of phobias.
