The Masked Singer is making a bold comeback in 2026, the stakes are even higher.
Series seven is set to deliver more celebrity reveals than ever, promising an unmissable double weekend with back-to-back unmaskings.
For the first time in the show’s lively history, a headline Masked Singer Band will open each of the first two episodes.
On Saturday 3rd January, Goldfish and their band No Trout take centre stage, followed by Emperor Penguin and the Antarctic Funkeys on Sunday 4th January.
The dream team of celebrity detectives – Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan and Maya Jama – are not just guessing which celebrities are beneath the masks.
They’ll also have to figure out who’s singing lead for the Masked Singer Band.
With four unmaskings across the first two episodes alone, get ready to shout ‘Take It Off’ more often than ever.
