Oti Mabuse is replacing Rita Ora, to sit alongside returning judges Jonathan Ross, Mo Gilligan and Davina McCall. Joel Dommett returns as host.

The new series, taking place over one week, will see celebrity contestants perform unique dances, whilst covered from head to toe in extravagant, colourful costumes and face masks leaving the viewers and star panel to guess their identities. 

12 celebrities will be stepping onto the dancefloor to take on character alter egos in a bid to wow the panel and confuse with their moves.

The new disguises feature a Zip, a Carwash, a Beagle and a Squirrel.

Holly Willoughby said of joining as a guest panelist: ‘How the Masked Dancers are able to pull off the moves they’re doing in these costumes is mind blowing!

‘I absolutely loved joining the panel as a special guest and getting to play detective. You’re all in for a real treat.’

John Bishop added: ‘I went to The Masked Dancer recording not sure what it would be like, but it was the most fun I’ve had for a long time.

‘The show is crazy – but in a good way – and seeing the video wall with all the viewers and families at home watching gives it an extra spice. It was a really fun evening and I thoroughly enjoyed it.’

And David Walliams – usually seen behind the Britain’s Got Talent judging desk, said: ‘I had a blast being a guest judge on the show. It is so silly and fun that you can’t help but have the best time.

‘Joel and the other judges made me feel so welcome. It is much harder than judging BGT though. This is more like having to be a detective!’

The Masked Dancer kicks off on Saturday 29 May at 7PM on ITV.
