The Masked Singer winner Charlie Simpson teases Busted reunion to mark band’s 20th anniversary

Good news Busted fans! The Masked Singer winner Charlie Simpson teased that the band could be planning something special to mark their 20th anniversary.

Can you believe it’s actually been two decades since the group launched back in August 2002.

The pop rock group from Essex, which consists of James Bourne, Matt Willis and Charlie, have sold more than 5million records and secured two Brit awards.

Despite their dramatic split in 2005, an intense love for Busted’s music still occupied an entire generation, with James and Matt forming supergroup McBusted with McFly, before finally reuniting with Charlie in 2016.

During Monday’s Lorraine, the ITV presenter, 63, asked the 37-year-old musician whether they were planning to make a big comeback.

‘So… there may be some plans,’ Charlie said.

‘It is the 20 year anniversary for Busted this year,’ he added.

‘Sworn to secrecy again… but there may be some stuff in the pipeline.’

Charlie had everyone talking over the weekend as he was crowned the winner of The Masked Singer UK.

Rhino was the final contestant to be unmasked, after fooling everyone for weeks and amazing us with his performances.

Judges Rita Ora, Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, and Mo Gilligan, along with guest panelist Lee Mack, were left stunned when the star’s mask came off, but delighted to award Rhino the crown.

Charlie admitted he ‘never expected’ to win the show, joking that his biggest fear was forgetting his lyrics!

Speaking in a Q&A post-reveal, he said: ‘I never expected to win, to be honest, but I just wanted to give it my best. I had no idea who I was actually up against and didn’t really hear the other people sing as we were kept away from each other during filming.’

Charlie added: ‘I was very happy when Joel called my name. I have never been in a singing competition before so I found the whole thing quite surreal.’

Lorraine airs weekdays at 9am on ITV.
