Vicky McClure ‘to sit on The Masked Singer panel’
It has been reported by The Sun that Vicky will join The Masked Singer panel early in the New Year. She will sit alongside its regular judges Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Mo Gilligan and new panellist Maya Jama.
A source told The Sun: “Vicky might play a string of serious roles in dramas. But she is actually a big fan of The Masked Singer. And she jumped at the chance to spend a day among the madness.
ITV decided to keep a fifth chair in the mix to include all manner of household names.
They also acknowledged how “fans will love it”. Especially after everyone thought she was Llama on the 2021 series of the sister show, The Masked Dancer.
The source continued: “She joked online about it back then. So she was thrilled to have the chance to legitimately be in the loop this year.”
As far as what she will bring to the table (other than her detective skills), the source said Vicky adds “an actor’s eye to the proceedings and really adds to the mix”.
