Sorry for making your ears bleed tonight… the voice of a werewolf I know…. she’s been unmasked.

The Masked Singer Christmas special winner

Although Josie performed amazingly, she didn’t win the Christmas special. Frankie Goes to Hollywood star Holly Johnson won the show as Nutcracker.

Meanwhile, Davina featured on The Masked Singer Christmas special as Star.

 

She usually judges on the show. But this year, Jonathan Ross and Mo Gilligan returned to the panel alongside newbies Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders.

Davina was unveiled as Star, and fans appeared in awe at her voice. One gushed: “Wow, who’d have thought Davina could sing.”
