ITV The Masked Singer fans say âitâs the biggest reveal yetâ in show shake up
Viewers of the show were delighted when a Hollywood 'legend' appeared for the semi-final
ITV The Masked Singer fans were blown away when a Hollywood celebrity joined the judging panel for the semi-final - with some saying âits the biggest reveal yetâ.
The quirky singing competition returned to our TV screens on Saturday night for the semi-final. It sees celebrities dress up in extravagant costumes to perform songs, with judges Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Maya Jama and Mo Gilligan having to guess who they are.
Five celebrities remain - Pufferfish, Bush, Wolf, Bear and Dressed Crab. In tonightâs show there will be a double elimination ahead of the final next week.
But in this week's show there was a major change to the format as judge Mo was missing from the line-up. Instead the judges were joined by Richard E. Grant

The actor has starred in numerous films, including Whitnail and I, Saltburn and Warlock. Heâs also featured in TV shows including Game of Thrones.
