The saying used to be New Year, New Me but ever since ITV’s hugely popular series The Masked Singer took over our Januarys, it’s New Year, New Masks.
The Masked Singer 2023 is just about ready to sing and strut its way to our screens, spurring on what will be no doubt weeks of frustrated guessing as 12 new celebs perform while in disguise.
Returning for its fourth season, we now know the costumes for this year’s series.
The Masked Singer 2023 will include the likes of its first ever double-act, Cat & Mouse, a Jacket Potato, and a Ghost.
But what time is the show starting and how long will it run?
When does The Masked Singer start?
The Masked Singer 2023 starts on ITV1 tonight, Sunday, January 1 at 6:30pm.
You can also catch up on episodes online, through ITVX.

At the end of the episode, one contestant will be unmasked.
What days is The Masked Singer on?
After the launch episode on New Year’s Day – a Sunday – the Masked Singer will start airing every Saturday from January 7 for an eight-week run.
