Many other well-known names voiced their congratulations for Mo, Rochelle Humes posted celebratory emoji, while fellow comedian Tom Davis wrote: "SMASHED IT MY GUY." Mo was last on screens thanks to his contribution on Celebrity Gogglebox, alongside his friend and actor Babatunde Aleshe, and was hugely popular with viewers.
It's not been announced when the talent show will be returning, however the first series aired in January therefore fans can likely expect a second instalment at the similar time. Earlier this year, it was announced that the talent show, which sees a number of celebrities hiding their identities in different costumes to take part in a singing contest, would go ahead for its second series with or without a studio audience present in order to comply with social distancing guidelines surrounding the coronavirus pandemic.
