The Masked Singer's return comes after season seven mixed things up with the introduction of 'teams', with 'Team Good' ultimately triumphing over 'Team Bad' and, erm, 'Team Cuddly'.

In May's grand final, American Horror Story star and RuPaul's Drag Race guest Cheyenne Jackson was unmasked as The Prince, while The Goldbergs' Hayley Orrantia – who also appeared in the first season of The X Factor in the US – was unveiled as Ringmaster.

Last but not least, singer-songwriter Teyana Taylor was revealed as the celebrity identity behind the victorious Firefly.

Meanwhile, over in the UK, spin-off series The Masked Dancer is preparing to air its second season, with the character line-up and even a brand new judge recently confirmed.
