Maya Jama is set to replace Rita Ora on The Masked Singer ahead of the programme's 2025 series.

The Love Island icon will now join Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall and Mo Gilligan as they attempt to guess the celebrities behind the masks.

Joel Dommett will also return as host ahead of the reality show's sixth series.

This year's celebrity intake will follow in the footsteps of huge names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Lorraine Kelly, Jason Manford, Sir Lenny Henry and Joss Stone.

Maya Jama 'can't wait' to join The Masked Singer

According to TV Zone, Maya Jama said: “I'm such a Masked Singer fan, so joining the panel alongside Davina, Jonathan, and Mo—and of course working with Joel—is going to be so much fun!

"I can't wait to figure out who's underneath all those incredible costumes, vibe to their performances, and get front-row seats to the unmaskings. I've watched the show for a long time, so I'm definitely bringing my A-game to the panel!"

Katie Rawcliffe, Head of Entertainment & Daytime Commissioning, ITV said: “The Masked Singer is back and promises to kick off 2025 with a bang.
