THE MASKED Singer will have a whole team of guest judges on this series, I can reveal.

Daytime queen Lorraine Kelly, comics Sir Lenny Henry and Rob Brydon and pop star Ellie Goulding will join the regulars Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Rita Ora and Mo Gilligan for the new series.

That’s in addition to Olly Murs, Charlie Simpson and Jennifer Saunders, who will sit in for Rita for three episodes of the latest run.

It begins on Saturday at 7pm on ITV1, with a host of mystery madcap characters including Air Fryer, Bubble Tea and Weather.

Host and new dad Joel Dommett said: “I think it’s definitely my best series just because of my child arriving.

“I feel like it’s all so joyous and fun. I am viewing it all in an entirely different way.”

Lorraine and the other first timers probably had fun, too.

Earlier in the month, the presenter threatened to quit her ITV daytime show live on air.

The Scottish presenter’s comments came as a chat with Good Morning Britain anchor Ben Shephard, 48, went wrong.

Lorraine, 64, was proudly set to tell a “really bad” Christmas cracker joke as she gave her daily preview of her chat show.

She asked Ben and co-host Susanna Reid, 52: “Why does Santa have three gardens?”

Yet before she could get the punchline out, Ben quipped: “It’s because he’s got a hoe hoe hoe.”

Lorraine was left stunned as she said: “You’ve ruined – I’ll get my coat,” – threatening to quit her show because of the interference in her joke.
