The guessing has begun as The Masked Dancer returned to our screens. The equally as bonkers spin-off to The Masked Singer was back on ITV on Saturday night (September) with new celebrities hiding their identities and a slight change to the judging panel.
After this year's characters kicked off the show with a joint performance, host Joel Dommett was back on stage to introduce who will be guessing again this year. Former Strictly Come Dancing pro Oti Mabuse, chat show host Jonathan Ross and TV presenter Davina McCall were joined by former footballer Peter Crouch as they started their latest efforts to work out who is behind the mask.
And the extravagant characters of Candlestick, Odd Socks, Prawn Cocktail, Astronaut, Scissors, and the show’s first duo – Pillar and Post – all took to the stage during episode one. But it was Astronaut who became the first to be unmasked with the panel left open-mouthed at their identity.
