The Masked Dancer UK first clues as ITV drop new trailer

The Masked Dancer is coming to the UK soon, airing on ITV later on in May.

Earlier this week ITV released the full character line-up for the first series, which is a spin-off of The Masked Singer, including this year's judges and host.

Among the cast is Carwash, Beetroot, Viper, Rubber Chicken and Llama. You can see the line-up of 12 characters and their costumes here.

Jonathan Ross, Mo Gilligan and Davina McCall will all be returning to the panel after judging The Masked Singer earlier this year. Joining them is Strictly Come Dancing professional Oti Mabuse, replacing Rita Ora.

And now, in the first teaser clip for the brand new show the judges can be seen making their guesses for the first time.

During the trailer Oti can be heard joking that "she doesn't know what she's signed up for," while Mo calls the concept "madder than mad."

Introducing the show, host Joel Dommet says: "Welcome to the all new The Masked Dancer, or as I like to call it, 'Who's who in a tutu?' The show that's unlike anything you've ever seen before... apart from The Masked Singer, it's quite a lot like that."

In the clip the judges guess big names such as Carol Vorderman and even Margot Robbie, Elton John and Shania Twain.

ITV said of The Masked Dancer UK: "Hot on the heels of hit show The Masked Singer, this new series will see celebrity contestants perform unique dances, whilst covered from head to toe in extravagant, colourful costumes and face masks leaving the viewers and star panel - Oti Mabuse, Jonathan Ross, Mo Gilligan and Davina McCall - to guess their identities.

"Joel Dommett will present the show that features 12 celebrities stepping onto the dance floor to take on character alter egos as they trip the light fantastic in a bid to wow the panel and confuse with their moves. From ballet to ballroom, salsa to swing and everything in between."

The Masked Dancer airs on ITV later this month.
