identities of The Masked Dancer\u2019s celebrity dancers are kept top secret, and very few clues about Pillar and Post have been dropped yet. It does seem, though, that they are indeed a double act outside of the competition, rather than, say, two random stars who\u2019ve been matched up by ITV, which helps narrow things down a (very) little bit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"&quot;font-weight:\">\u201cWe\u2019re not sure if it\u2019s a television couple, a radio couple, Ant <\/span><span style=\"&quot;font-weight:\">and<\/span><span style=\"&quot;font-weight:\"> Dec,\u201d Ross said. \u201cIs it an actual couple, like a real-life couple, is it a father <\/span><span style=\"&quot;font-weight:\">and<\/span><span style=\"&quot;font-weight:\"> son <\/span><span style=\"&quot;font-weight:\">or<\/span><span style=\"&quot;font-weight:\"> father <\/span><span style=\"&quot;font-weight:\">and<\/span><span style=\"&quot;font-weight:\"> daughter?

Post wears a bright red letterbox-inspired outfit, and appears to be slightly shorter than Post, whose disguise looks like it has been fashioned from brown parcels, complete with a collar made from letters.
