The sequins are out in full force!The Masked Singer is once again bringing us a huge helping of festive merriment – and here’s a first look at the 2025 Christmas Special.
Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Maya Jama and Mo Gilligan have slipped into their finest sparkles to bring us sheer joy with the one-off episode.
Joel Dommett is of course hosting – and he’s really pulled out all the stops with his Christmas wardrobe.
Silver trousers? Check. White faux fur jacket? Check. He’s good to go!
ITV has also confirmed who the guest judges will be on The Masked Singer Christmas Special. Read on to find out who they are and what date the show is on over Crimbo.
The Masked Singer Christmas Special: First look
The Masked Singer is back and is looking as spangly as ever.
In these first look pictures, Davina and Maya are looking very festive in their Christmas ensembles. Maya is wearing a sexy black dress with tartan jacket, while Davina has opted for a pretty off-the-shoulder red number.
Jonathan is keeping it cool in a gold jacket, white shirt and trousers, while Mo is looking particularly suave in his dickie bow and red velvet jacket.
The Masked Singer’s set has also been given a festive glow-up and a row of brightly-coloured Christmas trees sit behind the judging panel. Check out all those baubles on the desk as well.
Sadly, ITV is yet to reveal exactly what characters the celebrities inside the masks will be this year. Last year’s singers were hiding underneath a Nutcracker costume, a giant Star and Turkey Crown and a Christmas Cracker.
We’ve previously had a Sprout, Partridge in a Pear Tree, Decorations and even a Reindeer to name a few.
Who will we be calling at to “take it off” this year?
Who are the guest judges?
ITV’s sneak peek pictures have revealed who the guest judges are on The Masked Singer this Christmas.
In one shot, pantomime favourite Christopher Biggins is all smiles dressed as a dame. The actor is wearing a brightly-coloured patchwork dress, purple tights and a bright red wig that is really giving Annie!
Basil Brush can also be seen sitting in between Jonathan, Maya, Davina and Mo on the panel.
Lesley Joseph is also seen, pulling her best Wicked Witch pose. The Birds of a Feather legend is standing next to Joel on stage, while he clutches a microphone.
Finally, Su Pollard is also among the on-set photos. Dressed as a Christmas fairy in silver DM boots, she has her arms outstretched while brandishing a tinsel-clad wand.
Could this be more panto?!
