Danny Jones, speaking of his win noted: “It feels surreal. Everything about this show and everything about what I’ve just done is completely surreal! I have become a Piranha, and no longer Danny Jones!” On keeping his appearances a secret he added, “Very hard and even more so now I’ve won. It’s been really difficult because I get excited by stuff very easily and I’m all in when I do something. I’m meant to be on tour. It’s been very difficult, but that’s part of the fun, isn’t it?”

When asked if his fellow bandmates will be surprised when they find out he’s Piranha Danny said: “I think that the boys (in McFy) will be very surprised. I am my own worst enemy, so I’m always like, “That wasn’t very good”, so they always build me up. They’ll guess me straight away.”
