But one person who was not there to witness the crowning was regular judge, comedy star and TV host, Mo Gilligan.

For the second week running, Mo was missing from the programme with host Joel Dommett failing to address his absence.

In his place was last year's winner and recent I'm A Celeb star - Danny Jones.

The McFly singer took Mo's spot on the panel and sat alongside fellow regular Davina McCall, Maya Jama and Jonathan Ross.

Mo first went missing last week and was replaced by actor Richard E. Grant.

Confused by his absence, one fan wrote online: "Why is Mo not on the panel? Him and Davina are the best judges."

Another added: "Although that's weird, Mo Gililgan, where is he. done all the series & missed the final 2 episodes."

A third wrote: "Anyone know what happened to Mo, was it ever explained?"

Before a fourth commented: "Where's Mo again...still no mention of why he isnt there again."

It is understood that filming clashed with his touring commitments in the US, forcing him to be absent from the panel.
