This announcement marks a new chapter for the beloved series.
Maya will replace singer Rita Ora on the judging panel. Rita has presented The Masked Singer UK since 2020.
However, in September 2023 – it was announced that Rita would be jumping ship to judge the American version.
Maya will be sitting alongside returning judges Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, and Mo Gilligan. Meanwhile, Joel Dommett will reprise his role as the host.
“I’m such a Masked Singer fan, so joining the panel alongside Davina, Jonathan, and Mo – and of course working with Joel – is going to be so much fun!” Maya gushed.
“I can’t wait to figure out who’s underneath all those incredible costumes, vibe to their performances, and get front-row seats to the unmaskings. I’ve watched the show for a long time, so I’m definitely bringing my A-game to the panel!”
The series has attracted 37 million viewers with its unique blend of mystery and performance.
In the upcoming season, a fresh batch of celebrities will don elaborate costumes to conceal their identities as they perform.
