The Masked Singer is back with a twist, with the franchise making a return with an I’m a Celebrity special to get fans ready for a new season.

The special episode will see the Masked Singer get a jungle makeover, with four new characters ready to wow the audience and judges with their singing voices.

Dressed in “utterly bonkers outfits”, the judging panel and viewers at home will have to try and guess who is hiding behind the mask before revealing their identity.

Joel Dommett previously teased “exciting plans” for the next Masked Singer special.

Speaking to RadioTimes.com, Dommett said: “We may or may not have some very exciting specials in the works. It feels like it really worked last year, people really liked the I’m a Celeb special and it felt like a really lovely introduction to the entire series…

“It works really well, and so, yeah, hopefully we’ve got some specials planned this year – but I won’t tell you what they are or whether they’re happening… wink, wink.”

Read on for all you need to know about the characters in the Masked Singer: I’m a Celebrity special hoping they can go all the way and win all the stars for camp.

Ready for a night on the REP-TILES is the Bearded Dragon.

A former I’m a Celebrity campmate has had to face a bearded dragon in a truly terrifying Bushtucker trial. Back in 2018, Harry Redknapp faced a number of reptiles, including lizards, pythons and bearded dragons. Scary!

Wombat

Like a WOM-BAT out of hell, it’s Wombat. Wombats are native to Australia, but they definitely look different to the celebrity posing as one in this I’m a Celebrity special.
