Adam Garcia expressed that he was initially ‘disappointed’ after placing second in this year’s The Masked Dancer.

The wild and wacky show drew to a close on Saturday night, as fans saw the Coyote Ugly actor unveiled as Onomatopoeia, while former Strictly judge Bruno Tonioli was revealed as Pearly King.

However, it was Scissors, aka, Glee star Heather Morris that reigned supreme and stole the show, and the crown.

Although the Coyote Ugly actor, 49, was ‘stoked’ that Heather nabbed the title, he couldn’t help but feel gutted that he didn’t win.

Addressing how he felt at the time, he told Metro.co.uk and other outlets: ‘As it got further on, I did, I really did.

‘When I came second I kinda felt like “oooh rats!”‘

He continued: ‘Dance is competitive, and athletes are competitive by nature obviously so I was really disappointed and I was annoyed with myself and was like “could I have done better” all those ridiculous things going through your head.

‘But I was like “dude you’re just here to entertain people.”‘

Reflecting on Heather’s triumph, he said: ‘I never got to see any of the other dancers, it’s just a green screen, there’s no one there.

‘It wasn’t until I started watching the show and I was like Heather Morris is outrageously good, a ridiculously good dancer, so coming second to Heather Morris … I was stoked about that.

‘I did want to get to the final, absolutely. I didn’t want to go out on the first week, that’s the one you don’t want to go out on.’

Adam’s no stranger to the dancing scene, having also featured in the Australian reality competition Dance Boss and served as a judge on the thirteenth season of Australia’s Dancing with the Stars.
