The Masked Singer Christmas special winner unmasked as 80s pop legend

The Masked Singer's 2024 Christmas special winner was unveiled as an eighties pop legend.

In the Boxing Day episode, Christmas Cracker, Star, Turkey Crown and Nutcracker battled it out as Dawn French, Mo Gilligan, Jennifer Saunders, and Jonathan Ross guessed who was underneath the costumes.

Davina McCall made a shock appearance as a secret celebrity contestant, with her appearance coming shortly after she had a successful operation to remove a rare 14mm-wide benign tumour, a colloid cyst, from her brain, in November.

She was beaten in the show by Frankie Goes to Hollywood singer Holly Johnson, who was revealed to be Nutcracker.
