The Masked Singer is holding out for a hero

Best on the Box choice for January 18th…

Is it a bird?  Is it a plane?  No, it’s the return of The Masked Singer as this week’s show gets a ‘superhero’ makeover. In the next instalment of the hidden celebrity series the panel and Joel get ready to ‘marvel’ at this week’s Masked Celebs.

Snail, Tattoo, Kingfisher, Dressed Crab and Teeth will all take to the stage once again in an attempt to fool the panel and viewers at home. Joining Maya Jama, Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan and host Joel Dommett on the show tonight is celebrated Olympic diver Tom Daley.

Last weekend there was controversy as singer Macy Grey was unmasked, and having stormed off the stage – dressed as a Toad in the Hole – it took producers an hour to get her back on to ‘unmask’. Thankfully on-screen it was all seen in a few minutes.

Others to depart this run have been Giant Joel who was unmasked as celebrated Olympian Mo Farah, Spag Bol was revealed as Smooth Radio and Good Morning Britain regular Kate Garraway and culinary expert Dame Prue Leith who appeared as Pegasus.
