Rob Brydon said: “If we’ve learnt anything it’s time to dump those losers, those guys have been holding you back!”
Danny Jones didn’t manage to go under the radar, as many fans who had tuned into the show each weekend began suspecting the Voice UK coach.
Following Jones’s performances over the past few weeks, fans had flocked to X (formerly known as Twitter), to share their suspicions.
“Danny’s voice is easy to point out and I can hear his Bolton accent when Piranha speaks,” one user wrote.
While another penned: “If Danny Jones isn’t Piranha, I’ll chuck all my McFly CDs away… you can’t deny that voice!”
Danny was over the moon to have won the competition and told host Joel Dommett he had “the most amazing time”.
“I’ve learnt so much, I’m able to sing higher now just from being on this show. I’ve gone up a whole tone, it’s amazing! I am so happy, thank you for making me the champ.”
Earlier on in the finale, Cricket was revealed as singer Lemar, with all panellists guessing correctly.
Speaking of his time on The Masked Singer, Lemar said: “I thought it was gonna be fun, but it’s been more fun than I could’ve imagined.
“I’m a fan of the show anyway but just getting to express yourself on different songs that people maybe wouldn’t expect, that’s been a lot of fun.”
Following on from Jones’s reveal, it was time for Bigfoot to unmask and it turned out to be none other than Alex Brooker, who many of panel had guessed correctly.
“It was just the most fun. I love the show, my daughters love the show,” he said after being unmasked.
“I love the character, I love Bigfoot. I’m really gonna miss him because as soon as I got asked to do this I said, ‘I wanna be something cuddly and cute that my kids are gonna love.'”
