Chris Kamara shares the sweet moment his grandchildren find out he was on The Masked Singer

Former footballer turned presenter Chris Kamara has shared the sweet moment his grandchildren realise he is Ghost on The Masked Singer. Chris took part in the new series of the ITV entertainment show, where celebrity judges and viewers at home try to guess which celebrities are singing behind the crazy costumes, and was the first celebrity to be voted off the show.

Dressed up as Ghost, Chris went up against Otter, who is still unknown, and was not saved by the judges meaning he had to reveal himself. Chris was delighted to have taken part in the show and said he did for his grandchildren as they all sit together and chant "Take it off, take it off, take it off" each episode.

Chris has now posted to Twitter a video of his grandchildren watching him get unmasked. All chanting "Take it off" once Chris was revealed his grandson turned round and shouted "GRANDAD!" when he realised it was Chris.
