MASKED Singer viewers have demanded justice for Cricket after Piranha was crowned champion on Saturday's final.

The hidden celebrity behind the fishy mask was none other than McFly star Danny Jones.

The singer impressed the judges throughout the show with his belting vocals and he even had Davina McCall in tears.

The runner-up was Big Foot and the fans were correct in their guesses that Alex Brooker was hiding behind the furry mask.

In third place was Cricket who was revealed to be former Fame Academy winner Lemar.

Some fans said that Lemar was miles better than Alex and should have at least come second place.

One disgruntled viewer wrote: "Why is Big Foot still in Masked Singer.
He is a rubbish singer. Lemar has a much better voice as Cricket.

"I think its all a fix and each celebrity just says how many episodes they want to do, or the studio audience are tone deaf."

A second angry fan posted: "They kept Bigfoot who can't sing over Lemar! I smell a fix coming!"

A third fumed: "Absolute fix Bigfoot got into the top two. Cricket was awesome and totally robbed."

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 were unmasked as they went head-to-head performing two songs each in front of the judges.

For their second tracks, they were joined up on stage with a duet partner as Mo GilliganDavina McCallRita Ora and chat show host Jonathan Ross were left guessing.

Piranha was then revealed as noughties singer Danny during the big reveal.

The 37-year-old told host Joel Dommett: “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 am so happy, thank you!”  

Reacting to the win, one fan said: "Danny Jones......What an amazing voice, congratulations what a worthy winner."

A second wrote: "Danny Jones solo album as soon as possible please. A voice like that and it was hidden in McFly’s music (which I still loved obviously). Insane."

"Wow! Danny Jones! Didn't realise how good he is," said a third.
