‘THIS JOB IS MY TOTAL DREAM'

When Joel Dommett left the I’m A Celebrity… jungle in second place back in 2016, the stand-up comedian never dreamed he’d go on to front a huge prime-time hit. “If you’d have said, ‘Joel, in a couple of years, you’ll be standing next to a massive car wash in a very bright suit on Saturday night television,’ I would never have guessed it!” Joel, 35, tells OK! as we catch up at our at our exclusive shoot.

But fast forward to 2021 and that’s exactly what he’s doing, as Joel fills us in on ITV series The Masked Singer’s even crazier spin-off, The Masked Dancer. The show, which will air next week, follows the same format, but this time the all-star panel and fans will be trying to guess which famous face is showing off their dance moves under an elaborate mask.

“It’s such a ridiculous notion, the whole show is so stupid, but that’s what makes it brilliant,” Joel laughs.

The comedian-turned-host has hit the jackpot in his personal life too, marrying model Hannah Cooper in an intimate Mykonos ceremony in September 2019, after meeting at what he describes as an important crossroads in both their lives.

Here, Joel tells us about the big name signing that will shock The Masked Dancer viewers, his friendship with the show’s panellists, including Davina McCall and Jonathan Ross, and how it was a case of right person, right time for him and Hannah.

Hi, Joel. The Masked Dancer sounds even crazier than The Masked Singer!
