The Masked Singer UK Adds Comedy Royalty Alan Carr

ITV1 and ITVX today announced that award-winning comedian, broadcaster, and national treasure Alan Carr will officially join the show for the upcoming series of the smash-hit entertainment show, The Masked Singer.

But in a series twist, Alan – with his razor-sharp wit, infectious laugh and hilarious commentary – will be bringing his own rival team of detectives, the Wild Cards, to the show with him to guess the identities of the celebrities hidden behind the masks. Alan and his team will go head to head against rival super-sleuths Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan, Maya Jama and Jonathan Ross, now known as the Legends. Carr and his team will aim to give the Legends a run for their money to work out who is behind the masks and be crowned the best detectives of The Masked Singer 2027.

Joel Dommett also returns to host the musical guessing game, as they attempt to unmask a brand-new cast of bold and beautiful characters.

No stranger to the show, Alan previously charmed audiences as a guest panelist. Alan said ‘I can’t wait to play detective – so excited to be shouting “take it off” in the actual studio rather than on my settee at home. A dream come true.’
