The Masked Dancer: Everything you need to know about the new ITV show

A flamingo, a frog, an ice cream and a rubber chicken doing the cha-cha...it can only mean one thing. The Masked Dancer is nearly here!

If you were a fan of The Masked Singer (who wasn't?) then you'll be pleased to hear that it's inspired a new show The Masked Dancer, which finally starts this Saturday night.

It will follow a similar format, with celebrity contestants performing unique dances (instead of songs!), whilst covered from head to toe in extravagant, colourful costumes and masks.

And it will be down to the viewers and star panel to guess their identities.

Joel Dommett will once again by the punning presenter and Strictly pro dancer Oti Mabuse will join the panel, alongside Jonathan Ross, Mo Gilligan and Davina McCall.

What else do we know?

Oti will join the panel to provide a bit of dancing expertise

The Masked Dancer follows in the footsteps of the successful The Masked Singer - which had 10 million viewers for the final episode.

The new show will feature 12 celebrities stepping onto the dancefloor to take on characters and show off their best moves in a bid to wow the panel.

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

But in the US version of the show - which is on now - viewers ALSO get clues to the mystery identities in the dances themselves AND viewers and panellists also get to hear the contestants' actual speaking voices.

Oti said: "I'm so thrilled and honoured to be joining the panel on The Masked Dancer. I'm a huge fan of The Masked Singer... so I just can't wait to start on this show. As a dancer I will be watching the dancers... looking for clues - it's going to be so much fun!!!"

The Masked Dancer wouldn't be complete without some extravagant costumes.

The celebrity contestants will perform their routines whilst disguised in bizarre costumes which include: Flamingo, Knickerbocker Glory, Carwash, Beagle, Squirrel, Viper, Llama, Beetroot, Frog, Rubber Chicken, Scarecrow and Zip.

Let's hope these fantastical outfits don't affect their performances.

"Well, this is set to be an amazing fun twist…will someone do the twist?! I'm looking forward to some incredible costumes, epic performances and accidentally saying Masked Singer at least five times," added presenter Joel Dommett.

But which panellist will solve the clues first?

"What people don't know is that secretly I am an expert in dance and can spot a ball change from a box step no problem. The title of best detective on the panel is most certainly coming my way!" said Jonathan Ross.

Erm... we're not too sure about that Jonathan!
