The presenter, who is set to host the National Television Awards<\/a> next week, revealed that he would \u201clove\u201d to follow in the footsteps of The Masked Singer US host Nick Cannon, who took a break from hosting after contracting COVID before secretly competing as a Wildcard contestant on the show.<\/p>\n When asked whether he would be interested in pulling off a similar surprise move, Dommett told RadioTimes.com<\/a> in an exclusive interview: \u201cI\u2019d love to do that. Yeah!<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a great idea. We\u2019re always looking for new twists. To be honest, I think I wouldn\u2019t like to give someone the chance to host the show because they would enjoy it too much and want to take over.\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cThat would be the huge insecurity of mine that someone would take over just for a bit while I could be in the mask. And then everyone would be like, \u2018To be honest, that person is actually better, let\u2019s get that person instead.\u2019 I\u2019d be out of a job. But yeah, I\u2019d love to do that.\u201d<\/p> Dommett is currently hosting season two of ITV\u2019s The Masked Dancer, with last weekend\u2019s premiere revealing Desperate Housewives star Jesse Metcalfe<\/a> to be the celebrity behind Astronaut<\/a>.<\/p>\n The presenter will be returning to host the National Television Awards<\/a> next week, which will see stars from Heartstopper<\/a>, Bridgerton<\/a>, Peaky Blinders<\/a> and other shows descend on Wembley in the hopes of taking home an award.<\/p>\n The National TV Awards take place on Thursday 13th October, while The Masked Dancer continues on Saturday at 6:50pm on ITV. <\/strong>Find something to watch with our\u00a0<\/strong>TV Guide<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0or visit our\u00a0<\/strong>Entertainment<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0hub for all the latest news.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>subscribe now<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.
