Masked Singer host Davina McCall was stunned when Dippy Egg was revealed as none other than her Long Lost Family co-star Nicky Campbell.
Judge Davina rushed on to the stage of the hit ITV1 show and gave him a huge hug. She told the Mirror: “I was in total shock. I cannot believe I didn’t recognise his voice, the way he moves or any of the clues. Not in a million years would I have guessed it. It’s embarrassing.”
“I’ve known Nicky for many years and was completely stunned to see him on the show. I was so emotional, something just came over me.

"Halfway to the stage I did think, “I’m not sure if I’m allowed to do this!” But I just had to do it. He totally fooled me and I should have got it.”
Radio and TV presenter Nicky, 62, has presented ITVX series Long Lost Family, which reunites relatives, with 56-year-old Davina since 2011. As he performed Moon River again, Nicky got choked up as Davina watched tearfully.
