Host Joel Dommett commented on how it felt to be back on the show and said: “Very excited. It’s really cool.
“I think it’s certainly the best series, but I think definitely my best series just because of my child arriving. I feel like it’s all so joyous and fun.
“I am viewing it all in an entirely different way. I think that’s what happens when you have children anyway and the fact that kids in the audience love it so much, I think it puts that entirely into a new context for me and I just love being a part of it.”
Last series, Davina McCall made history after she guessed the most amount of celebrities correctly and opened up about her secret.
“I have no secret because it’s gone this year! I might be a one-hit wonder! I don’t like it when I know 100% who it is.
“It actually takes the fun out of it for me. It’s much more enjoyable when you think, “Do you know what? I think it’s this person, but I’m probably wrong”.
When commenting on the costumes this year, Jonathan Ross added: “I love all of them. I really loved Weather. I thought that was a really beautiful, quite romantic, quite poetic-looking costume.
“I liked Piranha a lot. They’re fun, I have to say. Bubble Tea is great. Well, Bubble Tea and Air Fryer make the show very, very modern, don’t they?
“There’s a couple of phrases that weren’t in common conversation two or three years ago, and now we’ve got them dancing on primetime ITV1!”
Rita Ora and Mo Gilligan also touched on being back as Rita noted: “This show in general, the format is just so insane.”
Before Mo added: “It’s good to be back on a new series. I think that’s the cool thing about doing The Masked Singer, it never feels the same.
“You are always second guessing who might be taking part. Is it someone I just spoke to recently? Is it someone I’ve grown up watching and idolising?”
The Masked Singer returns Saturday 30th December at 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
