Davina McCall has confirmed she'll be returning as a Detective on The Masked Singer.

The TV star will re-join fellow judges Rita Ora, Jonathan Ross and Ken Jeong for a second series of the hit BBC show. Comedian, Mo Gilligan, will also be joining the panel.

The official Masked Singer account announced the news, tweeting, "We're SO EXCITED to welcome back Detective @ThisIsDavina."

She added, "Absolutely loved playing Detective Davina last year, I've really missed it. Can't wait to play all over again."

In fact the 52-year-old is that excited she's already started to hunt for outfits to wear on the whacky show. "I'm already sourcing outfits," she confessed.

The Masked Singer is based on the South Korean version of the show King of Mask Singer - in which celebrity's identities are hidden until they are unmasked on stage in a wild guessing game.

The show is one of Davina's more fun projects since splitting from her husband of 17 years in 2017.

Recently, fitness fanatic and telly hosting pro Davina has bared all about the split that left her in "emotional turmoil".

Following the break up from the father of her three children, Holly, 18, Tilly, 16, and Chester, 13, Davina is thought to have been dating celeb hair stylist, Michael Douglas.

Davina said, “I will never sit here and go into great details [on her relationship with Michael]. And the reason for that is all down to respect. I have a huge amount of respect for Matthew, I have respect for my children and the same goes for Michael’s family.”

Candidly speaking about her divorce, the former Big Brother host told You magazine, “Going through a divorce is a traumatic experience and it is something that needs to be navigated as carefully as possible.

“Two years on, we have both grown as people, and we can now co-parent happily and acknowledge that it was the right thing for us to go through, even though it involved absolute emotional turmoil.”
