Previous winners of the competition – Season 3 – Natalie Imbruglia
After taking to the stage to impress the star-studded panel and those watching at home, in February 2022, Natalie Imbruglia was crowned the winner of The Masked Singer UK.
The Australian singer, model and actress first rose to fame after appearing on Neighbours in the early ’90s.
She then went on to enjoy a successful pop career, creating hits including Torn, Smoke and Wishing I was There.
After winning the show as Panda, the singer said: “I just loved being Panda. When I put the costume on I would just become Panda.
“I stayed in an American accent the whole time so if I sound weird that’s because I have been flipping.”
Natalie, below, added: “I just had so much fun. I made friends with a traffic cone and a mushroom.
“This is an amazing show and I am thrilled to have been a part of it.”
Previous winners of the competition – Season 2 – Joss Stone
In 2021, The Masked Singer UK returned to screens with a brand new selection of stars.
After battling it out on stage, singer, songwriter and actress Joss Stone took home the title of the winner and was revealed to be the celebrity hiding behind the character “Sausage”.
Speaking about why she signed up to the singing competition, she said: ”Life can be too serious, we should just dress up in chips and sausage and have a sing song.
“This has been the funnest, most hilarious job I have ever had. I have laughed so much.”
Joss, below, has won several awards for her music, including a Grammy Award and has performed in nearly 200 countries.
In case you missed it …
Giant Joel was revealed as…. Mo Farah. Did you guess?
To be honest, Maya Jama kind of gave that one away after she told fans on Instagram that Mo Farah was a “guest judge” on The Masked Singer. Er…. whoops!
Spot the newbie…
Twist fury
Fans were not thrilled by Saturday night’s massive twist at the end of The Masked Singer.
Just as host Joel was about to unmask Spag Bol, he suddenly told viewers they will have to wait until Sunday night to discover her identity.
Fans of the show were left fuming by the cliffhanger and took to social media to complain.
One raged on X: “Nope. Not having that. What’s the point of making us wait? Kinda kills the whole point of the show. If they do that every episode I tech just need to watch the first few mins of each and not the rest. Suppose it saves time.”
Another added: “I’m not happy! #MaskedSingerUK you knew we were going to watch tomorrow anyway. You already drag it out enough ffs even the panel look like they’ve lost the will to live by the end of the show.”
As we later found out, Spag Bol was, of course, GMB’s Kate Garraway.
This year’s panel judges – Davina McCall
Also joining Maya and Jonathan on The Masked Singer 2025 judging panel is TV presenter Davina McCall.
Like fellow judge Jonathan, Davina also joined the panel in 2020.
In addition to putting her guessing skills to the test, the presenter has also tried her hand at singing.
In December 2024, Davina conned the Christmas special’s judges by hiding behind one of the show’s whacky and wonderful characters.
During her career, Davina has also presented popular shows such as Big Brother, Long Lost Family, Million Pound Drop, and My Mum, Your Dad.

Previous winners of the competition – Season 4 – Charlie Simpson
The star of The Masked Singer UK season four was musician Charlie Simpson.
Charlie was part of the popular band Busted from 2000 to 2005 when he left to pursue a solo career after also playing in Fightstar.
In February 2023, viewers were left impressed when the musician was unmasked as Rhino on The Masked Singer UK.
After being revealed, Charlie, below, joked it was “so much weirder” to be on the stage without the mask.
The Masked Singer continues next weekend

One new judge hoping to put her detective skills to the test is Maya Jama, who will replace Rita Ora on the panel.
Speaking ahead of the new series, Maya said: “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!
“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 unmasking’s.
“I’ve watched the show for a long time, so I’m definitely bringing my A-game to the panel!”
Rita Ora officially left the ITV programme after five series.
In addition to her new role on the judging panel, Maya is also a successful presenter and radio DJ, who hosts the hit dating show, Love Island.

This year’s panel judges – Jonathan Ross
Jonathan Ross has been a familiar face on the show since 2020.
Revealing his secrets to his Masked Singer success at guessing the names behind the disguises, Jonathan told The Sun: ”I write a big long list of people who, I think conceivably, UK celebrities or Americans or people who are in the UK, might do the show.
”And I make another list of people who I think absolutely wouldn’t do it, because it is good to guess an outrageous name.
”Then I’ll do a list of comedy guesses just so I’ve got kind of lots of names at my fingertips.”

Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts won the first season of The Masked Singer UK as Queen Bee.
After winning the competition, the singer said: ”Literally last time I sang like this must’ve been Popstars: The Rivals. And when I found out [Davina] would be on the panel, I said yes!”
Nicola first shot to fame back in 2002 when she starred on Popstars: The Rivals, aged just 16.
Following her stint on the show, she became part of the winning band with Kimberley Walsh, Cheryl Tweedy, Nadine Coyle, and Sarah Harding, pictured below, with Nicola second right.
In addition to appearing on The Masked Singer UK, Nicola has also co-hosted the fashion competition Styled To Rock for Sky Living HD.
