Rita Ora signs up for judging panel on ITV’s wacky new reality show The Masked Singer

RITA Ora is one of the big name signings of wacky new reality series The Masked Singer, The Sun can reveal.

The bonkers format is already a huge hit in America, where it was won by rapper T-Pain, 33.

It will be her third high-profile judging gig following appearances on BBC1’s The Voice and ITV’s The X Factor.

A source said: “Rita already has judging experience on reality shows and is chomping at the bit to get started.

“Given that she is somewhat eccentric and likes to dress up this really is the best of both worlds for her.

“She cannot wait to see where this takes her and, most importantly, get down to judging talent.”

We can reveal that The Hangover star Ken Jeong, 50, who judges the US version of the show, will join the For You star on the panel.

The Sun already told how chatshow host Jonathan Ross, 58, was a fellow judge — and comedian Joel Dommett will host the series when it starts early next year.

It’s thought there will be one more signing on the panel.
