The Masked Singer has unveiled a first look at its star panel for the 2025 series, with Davina McCall debuting a stunning new look.
McCall has recently undergone brain surgery for a benign tumour, but had filmed the series which is always pre-recorded before her operation.
Her new look in the ITV1 show’s promotional pictures is said to be a coincidence, but McCall has opted for a very short blonde bob in place of her usual longer, dark do. She is thought to be wearing a wig in the photo as social media posts before and after her surgery showed her with her usual hairstyle.

My Mum, Your Dad presenter McCall has said she hopes to return to work in January following her November operation, but the new Masked Singer series, set to air in the new year, was already in the bag.

Her partner Michael Douglas gave a positive update at the end of November when he said on social media: “She’s off [work] until mid-January. She’s got a lot of time to relax and recuperate. It’s been a very, very emotional and quite an incredible experience. We’re definitely out of the woods.”
The Masked Singer’s new panel
As well as seeing McCall return to screens, the Masked Singer will also feature a new member of the panel when it comes back in 2025.
Love Island host Maya Jama joins the line-up in place of Rita Ora after her casting was announced earlier in the year.
She and McCall will sit alongside returning judges comedian Mo Gilligan and broadcaster Jonathan Ross, with Joel Dommett back in the driving seat as the show’s host again.
Who are the new series Masked Singers?
Season six will have a whole new line-up of mystery celebrities performing in costume each week, but while you may have glimpsed some of the characters in the new TV ad, the full list will not be announced until after Christmas.

Just some of the costumes spotted in the TV trailer include spaghetti, a set of wind-up chattering teeth, a zebra, a kingfisher, a toad dressed as a cupcake, and a crab.
Of course, we’ll have to wait until the first unmasking to work out who’s behind the mask, but fans of the show can’t wait for the guessing to begin.
When is The Masked Singer on TV?
Season six is confirmed to air and has started promoting the new episodes, which will begin on ITV1 and ITVX on 4 January at 7pm.
Masked Singer fans will have even less time to wait for their new fix of who’s behind the mask, though, as a Christmas special is set to air on Boxing Day at 7:30pm on ITV1.
The Christmas special is a one-off with a reduced cast that will all be unmasked during the same show, before the main series returns just over a week later.
The Masked Singer series 6 airs on ITV1 at 7pm from 4 January.
