The Masked Singer UK is back on our screens, and we're so excited to don our detective hats and play the best guessing game on telly once again.
The ITV show sees mystery celebs perform a song while dressed in bizarre costumes, and the panel - Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan, Rita Ora, and Jonathan Ross - are tasked with guessing who they are.

One of the mystery characters is Mushroom - here's what we know about who could be behind the mask...
Who is Mushroom?
Mushroom used a mixture of accents, including Irish and Yorkshire, and at one point said that they want to "Want to bring peace and love man".
Guesses have included Aisling Bea, Liam Gallagher, Rebel Wilson, Sia, and Vicky McClure.
Some fans have also guessed Mushroom is Sheridan Smith, after viewers appeared to spot 'two pints of milk' in her VT - which could be a reference to her role on Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps.
