A fresh lineup of Masked Singer characters for the Christmas episode has been unveiled, just as Davina McCall gears up to guess who’s behind the disguises.
Davina, 58, appeared in a red velvet dress with twinkling lights braided into her hair during the ITV guessing game, which airs on Boxing Day.

Four new celebrities will squeeze into whimsical costumes to perform for Davina and the show’s other judges, Jonathan Ross, Maya Jama, and Mo Gilligan.
The festive characters they’ll attempt to identify are Mistletoe, Goose A-Laying, Figgy Pudding, and Santa’s Sack.
Pantomime favorites will join the panel to help crack the clues, including Su Pollard as Fairy Godmother, Christopher Biggins as the Panto Dame, Lesley Joseph as Wicked Stepmother, and Basil Brush appearing as Prince Charming.

Filming for the special took place in September, just before Davina learned she had breast cancer. She discovered a lump after spotting Lorraine Kelly’s Change and Check posters encouraging breast self-exams.
Davina, who recently married celebrity hairdresser Michael Douglas in a private ceremony, has arranged five days of radiotherapy in January as a precautionary measure.
Meanwhile, The Masked Singer is set to return with a full season on January 3, marking the first time the show features two musical groups on screen simultaneously.
