In a segment which saw him pretend to dancing with a woman, the 38-year-old 'angered' his dance partner by 'looking at another woman' and the 'female arm' proceeding to make the V sign at the camera.

Then the dance got more raunchy as Tape Face pretended to grope his dance partner's bottom and then 'took off her bra'.

The mime got his stage name due to the fact he puts black tape over his mouth and he performed in complete silence.

He then got Eamonn involved and proceeded to stick tape on the TV presenter's nipples before insinuating that he was measuring out the length of tape needed to cover Eamonn's private parts.

He was able to get into the Top 10 and convinced judge Mel B to take part with a toilet seat around her neck in his final show.

The  38-year-old appeared to inspire Ruth Langsford who was seen placing black tape on her husband Eamonn's mouth.
