AFTER weeks of fan theories and guesses, The Masked Singer viewers have finally gotten to see who was underneath the masks.
The winner of the Masked Singer 2024 was revealed to the public as none other than McFly rocker Danny Jones.
Who won the Masked Singer 2024?
Piranha

Hailed by the judges as one of the "best singers of the series", this killer fish became a firm favourite.
His fishy tale had fans convinced they knew who was underneath the elaborate costume.

After the semi-final of The Masked Singer, fans revealed a brand new theory about who they thought the funny fish was.
The latest guess was that Coronation Street star Shayne Ward is underneath the blue costume.
As well as being an actor, the talented star is also a singer, and actually won The X Factor in 2005.
Piranha has delivered some great performances since making his debut back in week two, when he belted out a stunning rendition of Celine Dion's It's All Coming Back To Me Now.
Since then he has lent his voice to songs by the likes of Bruno Mars, Michael Bolton and Kelly Clarkson.
During the finale it was confirmed that Piranha was Danny Jones from McFly.
Fans said he was "rumbled" thanks to clues about his wife being a former Miss England winner (the map without England on it), McFly's album Motion in the Ocean, and him singing a Michael Bolton song in reference to Danny being from Bolton.
Who else was in the final of The Masked Singer 2024?
Bigfoot
Bigfoot was one of the contestants who made it to the final.
With his furry costume and adorable face, this yeti became a firm fan favourite on the show.
The biggest fan theory was that Bigfoot was TV star Alex Brooker.

The character has always taken to the stage with their foot in a cast, which viewers thinking this a reference to his TV show The Last Leg - and the fact he wears a prosthetic leg.
Alex also famously signed up to play rugby for the Leeds Rhinos Foundation PDRL team - which could be why Big Foot dropped a hint about rhinos.
One fan wrote: "Even the laugh at the end! Totally Alex Brooker!"
Other viewer guesses for the furry character have included former Friends icon Matt LeBlanc, Hamza Yassin, Scott Mills, Bill Oddie and even Bear Grylls.
During the finale Bigfoot was confirmed to be Alex Brooker.
Cricket
Cricket also showed off his singing voice in The Masked Singer's grand final.
Over the weeks, theories about who the cute green character could be flooded social media.
Most fans were convinced that the show-stopping sensation was in fact former child-star turned TV presenter, Reggie Yates.
Sharing their theory with other The Masked Singer fans, one viewer wrote: ‘’I think it’s Reggie Yates they mentioned a mouse…he voiced Rastamouse."
However, other viewers' thought Cricket could be boxer Anthony Joshua.
One fan tweeted: ‘’Anthony Joshua who loves cricket; his management team have ventured into professional cycling; he's pals with Dizzee Rascal; he's 6'5 and he can sing!”
Other names that have been thrown into the mix are Simon Webbe and Lemar.

However, it was revealed in the final that Cricket was iconic R&B singer Lemar.
