The Masked Singer announces Maya Jama will replace Rita Ora for 2025

As an avid fan of The Masked Singer, I am beyond thrilled about the upcoming change in the judging panel for the 2025 season. Maya Jama stepping into Rita Ora’s shoes is not just a shift, it’s a breath of fresh air!


2025’s season of “The Masked Singer” is going to see a change in the judging panel, as ITV has announced that Maya Jama is set to take over from Rita Ora on the panel.

Since the show first aired in 2020, pop star Ora has been a member of the panel. However, starting from now, Love Island host Jama will take over her position, joining returning panelists Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, and Mo Gilligan.

Each time, I find myself immersed in the intriguing role of a sleuth, unraveling the mystery of who’s concealed behind a collection of intricate disguises. After these celebrities perform musical pieces and drop subtle hints about their real identities, it’s up to us to guess who they truly are on stage.

For the upcoming sixth season of the popular series, Joel Dommett will be back as the host yet again.

I’m really excited about being part of The Masked Singer panel with Davina, Jonathan, and Mo, not forgetting Joel, it promises to be a blast!” – Jama expressed.

I’m absolutely thrilled to discover the identities behind those extraordinary costumes, groove along with their performances, and secure a front-row view of the unmaskings. With years of watching this show under my belt, I’m more than ready to give it my all during the panel discussion!

Katie Rawcliffe, ITV’s Head of Entertainment & Daytime Commissioning, praised Jama by calling her “exceptional.” She also expressed her eagerness to witness Jama participating on the panel.

Daniel Nettleton and Derek McLean from Bandicoot TV stated that when they decided to introduce an exciting element to the panel, they felt there was no one else more fitting for the role other than Maya.

As a cinephile, I’m thrilled to express my excitement about our latest addition to the Masked Singer family – a renowned figure who graces fashion magazines and sets style trends, yet behind the scenes, she’s an unapologetic music enthusiast, even going so far as to label herself a “nerd” in this field! Her deep-rooted love for music might just be the key that unlocks the clues to her identity. I can hardly wait to see her in action!

As a die-hard film fan, let me share some exciting news from last year’s television event. The show’s grand prize went to Danny Jones from McFly, who enlivened the Piranha character, while the second place was snatched by Alex Brooker, co-host of The Last Leg, in his Bigfoot role, and singer Lemar, who captivated us as Cricket.

Past victors encompass Charlie Simpson from Busted, Natalie Imbruglia of Torn fame, multi-Grammy winner Joss Stone, and the talented Nicola Roberts, formerly of Girls Aloud.

The Masked Singer will return to ITV1 and ITVX in 2025.
