Masked Singer Christmas special winner revealed as 80s pop legend
The Masked Singer Christmas special winner has been unmasked.
Frankie Goes To Hollywood singer Holly Johnson won the festive special after they were revealed as the voice of Nutcracker.
It came as Davina McCall came second as she stunned the panel by revealing she was the person hiding in the Star costume.
She managed to fool the panellists, who thought she had sat out the special entirely.
French and Saunders were in as guest panellists instead.
Host Joel Dommett even joked earlier in the episode that Davina had been texting him all day saying she had a bad tummy.
But while Davina played a blinder, it wasn’t enough to beat Holly’s Nutcracker.
“I’ve enjoyed performing, I don’t ever have to do panto now,” Holly said after he was unmasked.
He also made a gag about “cracking Joel’s nuts” after playing the Nutcracker.
Frankie Goes to Hollywood sprung onto the scene in 1980.
They were made up of Holly, Paul Rutherford, Mark O’Toole, Brian Nash and Peter Gill.
The group enjoyed such smash hits as Relax and The Power of Love.
Earlier in the episode, Josie Gibson was the first to be unmasked as Christmas Cracker.
She commented that the task was “way out of my comfort zone.”
Next to be revealed was Turkey Crown, who was none other than Strictly Star Motsi Mabuse.
There is one guessing game that will continue into the new series, however, which kicks off on Saturday 4 Jan.
Host Joel was surprised as a lookalike character emerged onto the stage in the final moments before the winner was announced.
The doppelganger was known as ‘Giant Joel’ and even recorded a VT in the presenter’s home, alongside his wife Hannah.
But Joel revealed that Giant Joel’s identity will not be revealed until the new series’ first episode.
