The Masked Singer viewers quickly expressed their disbelief after learning Dame Joan Collins would be taking a seat on the panel of the ITV series next weekend.

Saturday night’s episode saw two more secret singers unmasked, as both Firework and Doughnuts were eliminated.

Actress Jaime Winstone and footballing legend Michael Owen were the famous faces forced to take off their masks, as the competition continues to narrow down

But there were more surprises in store at the end of tonight’s episode, as another guest judge was unveiled for the upcoming semi-final.

Viewers were told Dame Joan would be sitting alongside Mo Gilligan, Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall and Rita Ora to watch another two stars’ identities revealed.

Fans were buzzing after being told the news at the end of the show, taking to social media to express their excitement.

‘”Well, that was a bit of an anti-climax. I don’t know if I’m going to watch it next wee…..JOAN COLLINS!” #MaskedSingerUK.’ joked a fan.
