The Masked Singer winner Danny Jones has shared the adorable moment that his son found out that he was Piranha. McFly singer Danny was crowned the winner of the fifth series of the show during Saturday's (17th February) final.

With the contestants on the show having to hide their identities from everyone, including their friends and family, Danny's son Cooper had no clue that his dad was Piranha.

Danny's wife Georgia shared the lovely video to her Instagram page, which showed Cooper's reaction to the moment that Danny took off his mask as Piranha. Captioning the clip, she wrote: 'Thought something was a bit fishy 🐟 @maskedsingeruk @dannyjonesofficial.'

In the video, Cooper could be heard shouting: "Take it off, take it off!" at the TV, before being shocked upon realising that Piranha was in fact his dad Danny. Cooper then excitedly shouted: "It's Daddy!", before jumping into Danny's arms.

Speaking after his win, Danny said: "I've had the most amazing time. I can escape behind here and just be Piranha and sing these songs. 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 the champ."

Judge Rita Ora said: "You have one of the best voices I have ever heard. Like, Danny, I want an album this year."

Also during the final, Cricket was revealed to be singer Lemar, whilst Bigfoot was unmasked as The Last Leg presenter Alex Brooker.

Unforgotten

Following the tense ending to series five in April 2023, ITV/STV bosses were quick to reveal drama series Unforgotten had been commissioned for a sixth series. Filming started in March 2024, so we imagine the new episodes could land later in the year.

I'm A Celeb

It is the show we all look forward to towards the end of the year, and this year is no different! Ant and Dec are set to head over to Australia alongside more brave celebs for the 2024 series of I'm A Celeb. The popular entertainment show usually begins in November.
