The Masked Singer announces one-off I'm A Celebrity special
The special episode will air later this year on ITV.
ITV has announced a brand new one-off special of The Masked Singer which will be centred around another of the channel's hit shows, I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!.
The special is set to air later this year and will feature the music competition show getting a jungle makeover, with costumes including a witchetty grub and a kangaroo.
As is to be expected, the celebrities taking part haven't yet been confirmed, nor have their exact relationships to I'm a Celebrity, the survival reality show which has been hosted by Ant and Dec since it started back in 2002.
However, ITV has confirmed that Jonathan Ross, Rita Ora, Davina McCall and Mo Gilligan will all be back as panellists, and they will be joined by special guest stars for this episode only. Joel Dommett will also be back as host, providing a link between the two shows, both of which he has made his stamp on.
ITV has also teased that the special will feature a "bonkers show-blending new twist", which will see Dommett put through his paces. In the special, instead of earning food for camp, he will be "tasked with hunting down those all-important mind-bending clues for the panel".
