The Masked Dancer Betting Odds: Bookies go 1/2 that WWE HALL OF FAME star Mick Foley is Cactus!

WWE Hall of Fame star Mick Foley is 1/2 to be Cactus in new series of Masked Dancer

Former Wrestler Mick Foley is 1/2 with bookies to be Cactus in the new series of The Masked Dancer with the show getting underway last weekend.

Betway have two options in the betting market for who Cactus is with Mick Foley favourite in front of Jason Donovan who is 5/1 in the odds.

Foley went as Cactus Jack for years in WCW and ECW in the early 90s so it may make sense that he's Cactus.

12 contestants will appear on the show with eight episodes set to air over the coming weeks.

The list of Dancers this year are:

• Cactus
• Candlestick
• Odd Socks
• Onomatopoeia
• Pearly King
• Pig
• Pillar and Post
• Praw Cocktail
• Scissors
• Sea Slug
• Tomato Sauce
• Astronaut - OUT - Jesse Metcalfe 

Pearly King and Onomatopoeia face off against each other in Episode 2

Pearly King and Onomatopoeia will go up against each other in Episode 2 of the Masked Dancer and bookmakers have odds on who each character will be.

Betting on Pearly King makes Mark Wright the 9/2 favourite to be Pearly King, with Joe Swash just behind Wright in the odds at 5/1.

Onomatopoeia's odds focus on rapper Lady Leshurr who is 6/4 to be the Masked Dancer here according to bookies.

That makes a 40% chance that Leshurr is Onomatopoeia, which we will find out in the next few weeks.

Masked Singer expected to return next year

The Masked Singer is set to return early next year with ITV recommissioning the series for a 4th and 5th time earlier this year.

Season 3 was aired in January and February of 2022 with Natalie Imbruglia the winner as "Panda" in the series.

We may well see Season 4 air around a similar time in 2023 with a New Year's Day premiere date looking likely.

It's likely that Davina McCall and Jonathan Ross will appear on the panel again but it's unconfirmed who will join them.
