THE Masked Singer UK has been a hit since the singing competition first burst onto screens in 2020.
Now the show is returning for a sixth season as a brand new selection of stars compete to join the list of The Masked Singer UK winners.
Ahead of the sixth series, we’ve taken a look at all of the previous The Masked Singer UK winners.
The fifth season of the singing competition saw McFly star Danny Jones crowned the winner of The Masked Singer UK.
Danny, who hails from Bolton in Greater Manchester, has been performing with the band since 2003.
In addition to his success on stage, Danny has also enjoyed several stints on-screen, participating in popular television competitions such as I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.
The McFly singer won The Masked Singer UK in February 2024 and later took the crown as King of the jungle I’m A Celeb 10 months later.
After several performances and much speculation the star was revealed to be Piranha.
Discussing his victory at the time, Danny 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!”
The star of The Masked Singer UK season four was musician Charlie Simpson.
Charlie was part of the popular band Busted from 2000 to 2005 when he left to pursue a solo career after also playing in Fightstar.
In February 2023, viewers were left impressed when the musician was unmasked as Rhino on The Masked Singer UK.
After being revealed, Charlie joked it was “so much weirder” to be on the stage without the mask.
After taking to the stage to impress the star-studded panel and those watching at home, in February 2022, Natalie Imbruglia was crowned the winner of The Masked Singer UK.
The Australian singer, model and actress first rose to fame after appearing on Neighbours in the early ’90s.
She then went on to enjoy a successful pop career, creating hits including Torn, Smoke and Wishing I was There.
After winning the show as Panda, the singer said: “I just loved being Panda. When I put the costume on I would just become Panda.
“I stayed in an American accent the whole time so if I sound weird that’s because I have been flipping.”
Natalie added: “I just had so much fun. I made friends with a traffic cone and a mushroom.
“This is an amazing show and I am thrilled to have been a part of it.”
In 2021, The Masked Singer UK returned to screens with a brand new selection of stars.
After battling it out on stage, singer, songwriter and actress Joss Stone took home the title of the winner and was revealed to be the celebrity hiding behind the character ‘Sausage’.
Speaking about why she signed up to the singing competition, she said: ”Life can be too serious, we should just dress up in chips and sausage and have a sing song.
“This has been the funnest, most hilarious job I have ever had. I have laughed so much.”
Joss has won several awards for her music, including a Grammy Award and has performed in nearly 200 countries.
Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts won the first season of The Masked Singer UK as Queen Bee.
After winning the competition, the singer said: ”Literally last time I sang like this must’ve been Popstars: The Rivals. And when I found out [Davina] would be on the panel, I said yes!”
Nicola first shot to fame back in 2002 when she starred on Popstars: The Rivals, aged just 16.
Following her stint on the show, she became part of the winning band with Kimberley Walsh, Cheryl Tweedy, Nadine Coyle, and Sarah Harding.
In addition to appearing on The Masked Singer UK, Nicola has also co-hosted the fashion competition Styled To Rock for Sky Living HD.
Much to the delight of fans, The Masked Singer UK is set to return to screens for a sixth season.
Fans of the nation’s favourite guessing game can tune into all of the latest action on Saturday, January 4, 2025 at 7pm on ITV.
