Maya Jama to appear in one episode of The Masked Singer

Maya Jama will appear in one episode of the next series of The Masked Singer, ITV says.

She is due to join the programme’s Legends panel in episode two, alongside Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross and Mo Gilligan.

The series will air in 2027 and introduces a rival team called the Wild Cards, led by Alan Carr.

ITV says Jama was never scheduled to film every episode because of this format change.

Her future on the show is not confirmed; reports say she may not return, but ITV says no decisions have been made about the next series.

Jama has also left Love Island and signed a multi-project deal with Netflix.

The Netflix deal points to her next career chapter, though details of the projects have not been announced.
