For the second year running, the guessing game will air an extra special edition all focused around the return of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here.

The show will air this Sunday evening at 7:30pm ahead of the jungle's big return at 9pm.

Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan, Rita Ora and Jonathan Ross will once again become detectives as they aim to uncover who is behind the mask.

The costumes featured in this weekend's edition include the aptly-named Dunny, Huntsman, Wombat and Bearded Dragon.

More on The Masked Singer

Whilst their identities are being kept tightly under wraps, we do know that is will be a former campmate lurking underneath.

But with 22 series to pick from, it won't be a simple task.

Last year, Vernon Kay, Alison Hammond, Russell Watson and Sinitta were all unveiled as masked jungle critters.

All four will be unveiled in Sunday's one-off show.

The regular series will then return in the New Year after another extra Christmas special.

It will lead fans in nicely to the launch of I'm A Celeb where 10 celebrities will be forced to take on a series of terrifying and stomach-churning Bushtucker Trials.

This Morning host Josie Gibson, actress and Britney Spears' sister Jamie Lynn Spears and former politician Nigel Farage head up this year's line-up.

Made in Chelsea's Sam Thompson, former EastEnders actress Danielle Harold, YouTuber and Tapped Out star Nella Rose and JLS singer Marvin Humes will also be hoping to impress in the infamous Bushtucker Trials in order to win 'stars' and food for camp.

Rounding out this year's cast is food critic and MasterChef star Grace DentFirst Dates frontman Fred Sirieix and Hollyoaks star Nick Pickard.
