The Masked Singer crowns Piranha its winner – and star is revealed to be massive 00s singer
PIRANHA has been crowned as the winner of The Masked Singer.
After eight nail biting instalments on ITV, the last three star names have finally been revealed to the viewers at home.
Last week, singers Tiffany Darwish and Keala Settle were revealed to be Eiffel Tower and Air Fryer respectively in a double elimination.
In the final all three of the remaining characters have now been unmasked.
The final trio went head to head performing two songs each in front of the judges.
For their second songs, they were joined up on stage with a duet partner as Mo Gilligan, Davina McCall, Rita Ora and chat show host Jonathan Ross were left guessing.
Third place character Cricket was unmasked as Lemar Obika before the two remaining characters faced off in the final showdown.
After a final round of voting Piranha was crowned the winner of this year’s series, with Bigfoot just losing out.
Bigfoot was revealed to be The Last Leg star Alex Brooker as fans flooded social media after they guessed correctly.
Piranha was then revealed as noughties singer Danny Jones during the tense reveal.
For weeks fans of The Masked Singer have been guessing the identities of the stars hiding inside the huge costumes.
Most people have thought that McFly‘s Danny Jones was behind the fishy character of Piranha.
They noted that he has done the “McFly jump” at the end of his showstopping performances.
Other names that were previously mentioned included Shayne Ward, and former One Direction stars Zayn Malik, and Niall Horan.
Meanwhile, some viewers previously thought that Cricket was Simon Webbe.
One clue that raised intense speculation included the words ‘all rise’ – which of course matches with Blue’s 2001 smash-hit.
Others names to be touted include Reggie Yates, Anthony Joshua and even fellow noughties star Lemar.
This was as viewers previously ‘unmasked’ Bigfoot as TV presenter Alex Brooker.
One clue which was pointed out by fans, is the fact that the costume has a bandage on the left leg and the character is using a crutch.
Alex was born with hand and arm deformities and was famous for presenting the Channel 4 panel show The Last Leg.
