The BAFTA-winning hit The Masked Singer UK is back with its brand new series launching this Saturday night.

This season brings a major shake-up, as broadcaster and entrepreneur Maya Jama joins the panel of celebrity detectives.

Fresh off hosting the fan-favourite Love Island, Maya is stepping into a whole new guessing game alongside returning panellists Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, and Mo Gilligan.

Joel Dommett will also reprise his role as the affable host, guiding us through the twists and turns of the show’s sixth series.

This year’s first episode introduces six new fantastical characters: Teeth, Snail, Tattoo, Kingfisher, Spaghetti Bolognese, and Dressed Crab.
