The comedian is back for more masked fun.
Speaking about series two, he said: ‘It looks amazing. The costumes are, I think, even better than ever. The characters are wonderful. They’ll be characters that the kids fall in love with and some really cool characters that I think the grown-ups will love.’
‘The people under the masks are even more impressive and harder to guess.’
Davina McCall

Peter Crouch

Former footballer Peter Crouch is swapping matches for masks as he replaces Mo on the panel.
Describing his time on the show, Crouch said: ‘It’s madness. Completely different to anything that I’ve ever done before.’
‘My kids love the show. I played football for England and Liverpool, I played in Cup finals, played in the Premier League and played in World Cups but my kids, the only thing they want to talk to me about is The Masked Dancer. They absolutely love it.’
The panel will also be joined by some very special guests throughout the series, ITV confirm.
