Clue packages will accompany every Masked Dancer to help the panel and at home detectives crack the case of who the famous faces behind the masks are.

In March, ITV announced the show will air in late Spring. 

At the time, ITV’s head of entertainment commissioning, Katie Rawcliffe, explained the decision to add a new twist to the show that viewers “can’t get enough” of.

“The Masked Singer is a huge hit for ITV and our viewers can’t get enough of this colourful guessing game,” she said.

“The Masked Dancer will build on that success and create a new format that will be just as much fun and entertaining for our viewers.”
