So what can viewers expect tonight? Who’s judging, what characters are involved and what time is it on? Here’s all you need to know…
What time is The Masked Singer on tonight?
The Masked Singer will air for an hour and a half tonight from 7pm on ITV.
As with last series, Joel Dommett will take the reins as host on the surreal singing show.
Who is judging?
Jonathan Ross, Rita Ora and Davina McCall have all returned as judges/ paid celebrity guessers, and will be joined by newcomer Mo Gilligan.
Comedian Mo has replaced last series’ judge Ken Jeong, who was unable to take part due to coronavirus restrictions.

Which characters will be battling it out tonight?
This evening, there will be six mystery celebrities battling it out on stage – Robin versus Alien, Swan versus Dragon and Sausage versus Badger.
Other characters in the second series, who will sing next Saturday, are Harlequin, Blob, Viking, Bush Baby and Grandfather Clock.
Each of the characters’ true identities are kept top secret and there is a rigorous process in order to keep it that way.
As the show is pre-recorded, the audience watching the show have to leave the studio when the celebrities are unmasked.
Speaking earlier this year, host Joel admitted that he was incredibly worried about being axed because he was so bad about keeping secrets.
He told The Mirror in February: “The prospect of not being asked back for series two because I had told everybody who Queen Bee is, is enough of a scare not to tell anybody.”
