Audiences can expect a new guest judge or two…
With season five of The Masked Singer UK on the way, ITV viewers can prepare to watch more hidden celebrities flex their vocal chops on live telly.
That said, if online rumours are to be believed, the show’s next outing might be a little different to its previous incarnations, especially when it comes to its celebrity judges.
Here’s everything we know about season five of The Masked Singer UK so far.
When is The Masked Singer back on TV?
New episodes of The Masked Singer UK are heading our way and we won't have to wait long to see them.
Season five will kick start just before 2023 comes to an end on Saturday 30 December at 7pm on ITV and ITVX.
We were treated to a festive special on Christmas Day, which was won by Ainsley Harriott, and an I'm A Celebrity special in November, which was won by Joe Pasquale.
Who is judging the new series of The Masked Singer?
Fans will be pleased to learn that the show's familiar judging panel of Rita Ora, Jonathan Ross, Mo Gilligan and Davina McCall will be back for The Masked Singer UK season five.
They will be joined once again by host Joel Dommett in a variety of glitzy suits that match the off-the-wall nature of the show's format.
While The Masked Singer's judging panel is set to return, it has been reported in various outlets that Ora may miss a few episodes due to filming commitments on The Masked Singer's American counterpart.
However, it's strongly rumoured that Absolutely Fabulous star Jennifer Saunders, pop singer Olly Murs and Busted's Charlie Simpson will keep Ora's judge's seat warm while she's away.
Season five of The Masked Singer UK starts on Saturday, 30 December 2023.
