As a longtime fan of The Masked Singer, I must say that I am absolutely thrilled with the recent news about Maya Jama joining the show as a panelist! With her infectious energy and knack for engaging audiences, she’s bound to bring a fresh perspective to the panel.

In the upcoming Masked Singer Christmas special, Joel Dommett experiences a stunning surprise when ITV producers reveal a colossal look-alike of him. This unexpected event leaves him in a state of astonishment.

Beneath the large figure of Joel, there lies a widely admired public figure whom both the audience and the distinguished panel are striving to identify, based on their clues about his identity.

Jennifer Saunders (age 66) and Dawn French (age 67) are teaming up for the holiday special. They will be accompanied by their regular panelists, including Davina McCall (age 57), Jonathan Ross (age 64), and Mo Gilligan (age 36).

They’ll be responsible for identifying the famous personalities concealed within four freshly designed holiday characters named Star, Christmas Cracker, Turkey Crown, and Nutcracker.

Although it’s still a mystery who the celebrity is playing the role of Joel during the holiday special that will be aired on Boxing Day, viewers won’t find out the identity of the star until the premiere of the new series on January 4th.

When Joel first saw the costume, he commented, “It struck me, ‘Could my nose actually look like that?’ Everyone agreed it did… and it seems my teeth are quite as large!

Additionally, it was disclosed that after the performance, Joel’s wife, Hannah Cooper, has stated that he can’t retain the costume because their living space doesn’t permit it.

He explained that his wife forbids him from keeping the item due to lack of room, so he suggested they consider purchasing a slightly larger home.

‘Maybe we can turn it upside down and turn it into a really cool laundry bin or something.’

The presenter disclosed that so far, he’s only shown Hannah her look-alike, and he can’t wait for the rest of his family to catch a glimpse of it when they appear on the program.

He added: ‘I actually haven’t shown my family yet! I’m excited for them to see it. The only thing weirder than watching your son on the telly is watching a big version of your son on telly standing next to your son on telly!’

Fans of The Masked Singer are confident they’ve figured out who Kingfisher is, several weeks ahead of the new season’s premiere.

As an absolutely thrilled and eager fan, I simply cannot contain my excitement upon catching sight of the tantalizing sneak peek of the extraordinary outfits set to grace our screens in the coming year, straight from the upcoming season of that unmissable ITV show!

The collection also features creatures such as a blowfish, a toad, a crustacean, a shrub, a pasta dish full of noodles, and a group of noisy incisors.

Additionally, you’ll find a knight-costumed unicorn, a frog inside a cupcake, and a vividly colored kingfisher bird in the mix.

In the video, you’ll notice that the kingfisher is wearing green overalls with a black and white striped sweater underneath.

Their costumes display several fishing-themed logos, among them a compass and a crescent moon.

Some spectators have speculated that it might just be EastEnders actor Shane Richie, famous for his role as charming rogue Alfie Moon on BBC One’s soap opera, who is behind this.

One viewer speculated on Reddit, saying, ‘Perhaps it’s Alfie Moon from EastEnders – the moon’s name seems to suggest that it might be him.’

A second agreed and said: ‘It could be, the moon is a giveaway.’

While a third replied: ‘I said the same thing! And he’s been known to sing.’ 

Joel Dommett is set to return to the 2025 series, while Rita Ora will be replaced by Maya Jama.

This is the first time Maya will appear on a prime-time ITV1 program, having achieved significant fame as the host of Love Island previously.

Regarding being part of the show, Maya expressed her excitement, stating: “Being a fan of The Masked Singer, I’m thrilled about the opportunity to sit on the panel alongside Davina, Jonathan, and Mo. Not forgetting the added joy of collaborating with Joel – it promises to be an enjoyable experience!

I’m eagerly anticipating discovering who’s behind those amazing costumes, enjoying their acts, and securing a prime spot for the grand reveals.

‘I’ve watched the show for a long time, so I’m definitely bringing my A-game to the panel!’

Another source shared with The Sun: “This is a significant development for Maya, who has rapidly become one of television’s most promising newcomers.

Each Saturday evening, she stands before a vast crowd, a show that captivates viewers ranging from young children to the elderly, making her a weekly presence.

So far, her fanbase has predominantly been young, largely due to Love Island. However, joining The Masked Singer could elevate her career to an entirely different level.

Actress Vicky McClure, known for her role in Line of Duty, is set to join as a temporary judge on the show, joining the existing panel which includes Jonathan Ross, Mo Gilligan, and Davina McCall.

Last year, I couldn’t believe my eyes when the season finale rolled around and McFly’s Danny Jones was revealed to be the one hiding beneath the Piranha costume! It was a thrilling victory that left me absolutely obsessed!

Runners-up were The Last Leg co-host Alex Brooker (as Bigfoot) and singer Lemar (as Cricket).

Winners from this particular show have been musicians like Charlie Simpson of Busted, Natalie Imbruglia who sings for Torn, Joss Stone, a multiple Grammy winner, and Nicola Roberts, a member of the band Girls Aloud.

With over 37 million viewers since its 2020 launch, the show continues to be a must-watch.

Currently, when this is being written, the well-liked series has been given another season to air, predicted to premiere in the year 2026.

On the joyous occasion of Boxing Day, I’m thrilled to share that ‘The Masked Singer Christmas Special’ is all set to unfold its mysteries at 7:30 PM, not just on ITV1, but also on ITVX, STV, and the STV Player. And here’s a treat for us dedicated followers! The brand-new series of ‘The Masked Singer’ will commence on the 4th of January, every Saturday at 7 PM. Let’s unmask the celebrities together!
