The Masked Singer season 2: ITV unveils full line-up ahead of show return – but who’s hiding behind the costumes?-Charlotte Manning-Entertainment – Metro
Who’s that behind the mask?
Season 2 of The Masked Dancer will include a brand-new crop of secret stars, and we already can’t wait to find out who’s hiding behind the costumes.
Last year saw the first spin-off of the hit ITV series, The Masked Singer, come to screens.
A haul of much-loved famous faces showed off their moves to the panel of Oti Mabuse, Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan and Jonathan Ross, as they tried to work out which celebs were disguising their true identities.
It was gymnast Louis Smith who ended up winning the first series, after he was unveiled as the star hiding behind Carwash.
This year, 12 new stars will be desperately trying to conceal their identities as they perform in some weird and wacky costumes.
The characters taking part this year are: Onomatopoeia, Tomato Sauce, Sea Slug, Scissors, Cactus, Astronaut, Pillar and Post, Candlestick, Pearly King, Pig, Prawn Cocktail and Odd Socks.

There will also be a new addition to the panel, as Mo Gilligan takes some time away for commitments elsewhere.
Former England footballer Peter Crouch and professional dancer Oti Mabuse will join returning panellists Jonathan Ross and Davina McCall as they try to work out who is behind the mask.

Peter, who has a legendary Robot dance move of his own, was announced as Mo’s replacement back in May.
He said: ‘The show is a firm favourite in our household and when asked I jumped at the chance to take part.
‘I am competitive and I’m currently scrolling through friends’ socials looking for those tell-tale dance moves. Another plus is by being on the panel my social media, family and friends won’t be constantly speculating that I’m hiding behind one of the masks.’

Mo will be back to join Peter, Davina, Jonathan and Oti on the panel for a surprise appearance during the run, with other special guests set to get their detective hats on throughout the series.
‘I love being a part of the Masked Team so I’m gutted to be missing most of the series this year as I’ll be working in the US,’ Mo said.
