The Masked Singer UK will return to UK television screens again tonight (January 6) after the 2024 series got under way last Saturday (December 30, 2023).
Celebrity judges Mo Gilligan, Davina McCall and Jonathan Ross will return again this week, while Rita Ora is expected to re-join them after missing last week's show.
The panel will once again try and figure out which celebrity is behind the mask of each costume.
Joel Dommet will also be back as host, fresh from his presenting role on Survivor.
The Masked Singer sees 12 celebrities compete undercover in costumes, to keep their identities a secret, while Ora, Gilligan, McCall and Ross try and decipher clues to guess who is under the mask.
Who was unmasked on week 1 of The Masked Singer 2024?
The first episode of The Masked Singer UK 2024 saw six characters - Cricket, Weather, Rat, Maypole, Dippy Egg and Bigfoot compete in the singing competition.
The first celebrity to be unmasked and therefore eliminated from the series was American singer Dionne Warwick - who was competing as Weather.
Warwick is known for hits including Walk On By and I Say A Little Prayer.

Will Rita Ora be on tonight's episode of The Masked Singer?
Rita Ora was absent from the her usual spot on the celebrity panel in week one of The Masked Singer 2024.
Dommet explained that Ora would be unable to be a part in the first week's show as she was in America.
But the host went on to explain that she would only be missing one week, and is expected to be back on The Masked Singer tonight (January 6).
Fellow panellist Davina McCall also posted on X (formerly Twitter) following last week's show to say: "See you next week with out @RitaOra."
See you next week with our @RitaOra ✔️🩷💞💯

Busted's Charlie Simpson took Ora's place on The Masked Singer panel last week.
Simpson is no stranger to the ITV programme having taken part in the last series of the show in 2023, being crowned the winner.
He performed as Rhino throughout the last series and kept the panel guessing until the very end.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
