GUESS WHO?

'This is one of my favourite years on the show,' enthuses Mo, 36, who has been a panellist since the second series. 'The performances are epic, the costumes are brilliant and it's really fun to have themes such as Superheroes and Holiday Week.

'The best costume is Dressed Crab-it is very flamboyant and very cool. And there's a character who has one of the best voices I've ever heard on The Masked Singer.

'Maya's great on the show; she brings new ideas and a new energy. And we have some great guest panellists, too, including Suranne Jones and Vicky McClure. They come from the world of acting, so they give some different guesses.

'Also, you're not meant to blow your own trumpet, but I think I'm really good at guessing this year. Sometimes the audience might doubt how I piece clues together, but when I'm right, I'm right.'

DAVINA MCCALL

'This series, our masked singers have got better at disguising every aspect of their voice, so we really have no idea what they sound like or where they're from,' says Davina, 57, who has sat on the panel since the show's launch in 2020.
