LET'S DANCE!

Secret celebrities bust a move in a spin-off from The Masked Singer...

In the wake of ITV’s huge success during lockdown with The Masked Singer, the channel is upping the ante with spin-off show The Masked Dancer. This time, the secret celebrity performers will dazzle with ballet, hip-hop, contemporary dance and more – and the guessing game is much, much harder.

Many familiar faces from The Masked Singer are back for this series, including host Joel Dommett and panellists Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall and Mo Gilligan, while Strictly Come Dancing’s Oti Mabuse takes over from Rita Ora.

‘When we began filming the series, Oti started off brilliantly,’ explains Dommett. ‘For every guess, she’d have a really good list of names, or an amazing clue nobody else saw. But she’s sat next to Jonathan, so slowly but surely, I felt like she was being influenced by his guesses!’
