Earlier this month, ITV has confirmed Oti Mabuse will be joining the judging panel for The Masked Dancer, while Rita Ora will not appear.
The singer, 30, whose reputation has been rocked by two COVID rule-breaking scandals, is the only Masked Singer judge not returning for the new series – with Jonathan Ross, Mo Gilligan and Davina McCall and Joel Dommett on board.
The Masked Dancer will see 12 celebrity contestants perform unique dances, whilst covered from head to toe in extravagant, colourful costumes and masks, leaving the viewers and star panel to guess their identities. It is due to air in late Spring.

Two-time Strictly champion Oti, 30, who was previously a judge on the now-defunct The Greatest Dancer, said: ‘I’m so thrilled and honoured to be joining the panel on The Masked Dancer.
‘I’m a huge fan of The Masked Singer and I loved the US Masked Dancer so I just can’t wait to start on this show. As a dancer I will be watching the dancers intently looking for clues – it’s going to be so much fun!!!’
Hot Right Now hitmaker Rita is currently in Australia where she will appear as a judge on The Voice.
