It\u2019s time to spend your Saturday evenings trying to guess which celebrity is behind the mask of a bizarre costume, as ITV\u2019s The Masked Dancer<\/a> is back for 2022.<\/p>\n

The show returns with a brand new line-up and a new detective as Peter Crouch takes over from Mo Gilligan alongside Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross and Oti Mabuse.<\/p>\n

Together, they\u2019ll be trying to guess the true identities of this year\u2019s contestants, with the guessing game kicking off from Saturday 3rd September.<\/p>\n

As the show airs, here\u2019s everything we know so far about this year\u2019s characters \u2013 one of whom is called Onomatopoeia (we can\u2019t wait to see how this turns out!).<\/p>

Onomatopoeia will be dancing to their own tune when they take to the stage, but will viewers be able to guess who is behind the mask?<\/p>\n
