ITV\u2019s The Masked Dancer<\/a> is returning for a second season and, while Mo Gilligan recently stepped down from the judging panel due to scheduling conflicts, he\u2019s hinted that he may pop up on the show after all.<\/p>\n Gilligan joined the panel for season one alongside Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall and Rita Ora, however ITV announced earlier this month that he\u2019d be replaced by footballer Peter Crouch.<\/p>\n Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a> for The Big RT Interview<\/a> \u2013 which arrives on the site tomorrow morning \u2013 the comedian spoke about quitting the spin-off to The Masked Singer<\/a>, saying: \u201cCalendar crossover really is why I can\u2019t be on The Masked Dancer this year,\u201d he told RadioTimes.com<\/strong>.<\/p> He continued: \u201cBut Peter Crouch \u2013 he\u2019s a wicked replacement man. And it\u2019s so funny because everyone\u2019s like, \u2018Peter Crouch?\u2019 And it\u2019s quite funny that people were like that because I remember when I joined the panel [of The Masked Singer] and everyone\u2019s like, \u2018Mo Gilligan? A bit random. What does he know about singing?\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not a singing competition. You just guess who\u2019s in the costume \u2013 and I think it\u2019s the same again. He\u2019ll be great on the show, he\u2019s really nice. I\u2019ve met him a few times as well.\u201d<\/p>\n He went on to add that he may stop by The Masked Dancer\u2019s upcoming season after all. \u201cYou never know, I might make an appearance. You never know in this entertainment industry. I could be one of the characters!\u201d<\/p>\n The first series of The Masked Dancer was won by Carwash, who was revealed to be Olympic gymnast Louis Smith, while actress Bonnie Langford (Squirrel) and singer Howard Donald (Zip) were runners-up.<\/p>\n You can read the full Big RT Interview<\/a> with Mo Gilligan tomorrow at 9am on RadioTimes.com<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan begins on Friday 27th May at 10pm on Channel 4.
