THE MASKED SINGER RETURNS FOR SECOND I'M A CELEBRITY SPECIAL ON ITV

The Masked Singer is returning for a second I'm A Celebrity special on ITV this Autumn following the success of the first special last year.

In celebration of the iconic reality series, the celebrities may not be facing a Bushtucker Trial, but instead will compete whilst dressed head to toe in extravagant and utterly bonkers outfits, as the panel and viewers at home attempt to guess who is hiding behind the mask.

Before the famous cast can scream, I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here, the panel will attempt to guess who could be masquerading in costumes such as a Witchetty grub or a kangaroo?

Former jungle campmate and regular host, Joel Dommett will be back to preside over this TV extravaganza, with Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Rita Ora and Mo Gilligan on the panel. ITV have not confirmed whether any guest panellists will join.

Katie Rawcliffe, ITV’s Head of Entertainment Commissioning said last year: "What a perfect way to celebrate the return of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! than with a unique mash up of two hugely successful series...

"Viewers will get to enjoy all things Jungle with a wonderfully bonkers Masked Singer twist. With flamboyant costumes that pay homage to the iconic series as it returns to Australia, families will be able to play alongside our panel in TV's favourite guessing game."

Bandicoot Scotland founders, Derek McLean and Daniel Nettleton added: “We are huge fans of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! and are thrilled to be able to celebrate this ground breaking and hugely successful series with a special edition of The Masked Singer...

"The celebrities may think the jungle is an endurance test but singing on national TV dressed head to toe in a giant costume is no mean feat.

"They may not be playing to win food for their campmates but they will have to hone their singing skills as they attempt to fool the panel and keep them in the dark. With costumes that reflect all things Jungle, this is definitely a show viewers won’t want to miss.”

The Masked Singer: I'm A Celebrity Special is expected to air this November on ITV1.
