The Masked Singer is back! (Picture: ITV)
The Masked Singer is back for its fifth series, and so the chants of ‘Take It Off Take It Off’ can once again be heard echoing around living rooms in the UK.
We’ll have to wait quite a few weeks to find out who’s hiding behind all the 12 costumes, but it’s not just Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan, Rita Ora, and Jonathan Ross who are predicting the celebrities, we’ve got some pretty good guesses.
Taking to the stage this year are animals Owl, Rat, Cricket, and Piranha, along with Weather, Bubble Tea, Air Fryer, Chicken Caesar, Dippy Egg, Eiffel Tower, Maypole and Bigfoot, who will all be hoping to follow in the footsteps of 2023 champion Charlie Simpson, who was disguised as a Rhino, and Ainsley Harriott who was crowned winner while dressed as a Partridge (in a pear tree) of the Christmas special.
The famous faces who’ve already been unveiled are below, and we’ll be continually updating as the ITV series progresses…
Weather – Dionne Warwick

Jonathan, guest judge Charlie, and Davina all guessed the star correctly, and she was the first to leave the competition.
Dionne told the panel that it was impossible to conceal her voice, and they agreed that her beautiful distinctive tones were easily distinguishable.
She then sang ‘I Can See Clearly Now’ once more, this time with her mask firmly off.
This isn’t the first time that Dionne, 83, has entered The Masked Singer universe. In 2020, she competed in the USA version dressed as a mouse and finished in fourth place.
The Masked Singer airs Saturdays at 7pm on ITV1.
