The Masked Singer UK announces changes to eliminations and judging panel

The Masked Singer UK has proved hugely popular among ITV viewers.

For those who are unfamiliar with the premise, the show sees celebrities conceal their identities in an attempt to stump viewers and the panel alike as they sing on stage under a guise. You can see the extreme lengths they go to in order to remain secret here.

Season two is well underway and judges and viewers at home all have their own theories on which celebrities are behind the mask.

So far, Alien, Seahorse, Swan, Grandfather Clock and Bush Baby have all been revealed. You can find a list of unmasked contestants here.

But with seven celebrities left in the competition, including Badger, Harlequin and Dragon, ITV has announced a huge shake-up to the show, with two changes being made ahead of Saturday's episode.

The Masked Singer eliminations

The first five weeks of season two have seen one celebrity eliminated per episode.

However, Saturday's show will see two contestants unveiled in a double elimination.

ITV said: "Next week, it's a double elimination as seven masked singers take to the stage."

Left in the competition are Sausage, Dragon, Viking, Blob, Harlequin, Badger and Robin.

The Masked Singer judges

The expert panel is made up of Rito Ora, Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross and Mo Gilligan, however, it will be changing on Saturday.

This weekend, comedian Alan Carr will be joining the judges line-up.

ITV added: "Plus for one night only Alan Carr joins the panel as TV's most addictive guessing game continues."

The Masked Singer UK continues Saturday at 7pm on ITV.
