They were revealed to be the Welsh classical singer Aled Jones .

Speaking to the channel following his unmasking, Jones called the show “bonkers and lots of fun”.
Jones said he enjoyed singing “songs I’d never normally sing”, adding it was “really, really hard” to keep the secret.
“My phone has been buzzing non-stop, but I manage to throw people off the scent,” he said.
Guesses throughout the series included Alfie Boe and Russell Watson.
