But Davina McCall who works with Nicky on ITV’s hit show Long Lost Family was completely taken aback when she found out that it was her dear friend Nicky and ran to the stage to give him a hug. She was so overwhelmed with joy that she was forced to hold back her tears after he pulled off the mask.
Davina said: “This is the best surprise, better than any birthday. I love this man! Nicky’s a friend, we’ve been working together for thirteen years and I can not believe I didn’t recognise your voice, I didn’t recognise your singing voice. I know your singing voice. This is insane!”
When asked by presenter Joel Dommett if he enjoyed his time on the show, Nicky said: “Oh, it’s been amazing! It’s so so fun!”
But Davina wasn’t the only dry eye in the house because as Nicky sang his rendition of Moon River he also broke down in tears. Looking over at Davina who was standing amongst her fellow Masked Singer judges, Nicky also became emotional.
Fans at home also found the reveal quite emotional too and headed over to X formerly known as Twitter to share their thoughts on the scenes. One social media user wrote: Well Dippy Egg a la #TheMaskedSingerUK was #NickyCampbell and he sang Moon River again. No! In tears – blaming it on the course I’m on, but seriously that man.”
Another penned: “NICKY! Aw, that was so cute with him and Davina.” A third chimed: Bless him it’s Nicky Campbell. @NickyAACampbell so many guessed it was Nicky.”
Nicky and Davina have become a popular TV duo over the years as they try to reunite broken families on the hit ITV show. Long Lost Family have won sevral awards of the years including a British Academy Television Award for Best Features in 2014.
