Masked Singer winner Joss Stone returns to show as guest judge
LAST year’s Masked Singer winner Joss Stone is returning for the show’s finale — ditching her sausage costume to be a guest judge.
And the 34-year-old pop star will be joined on Saturday by a trio of top names who have appeared on previous series of the ITV show.

They are comedian Jason Manford, 40, JLS singer Aston Merrygold, 33, and Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts, 36.
Dressed in the costumes they wore when they were finalists, the trio will duet with the three remaining mystery contestants — Mushroom, Robobunny and Panda.
But despite singing along beside them, the three guests will be in the dark as to who they are. A TV insider said: “All four celebrities were sensational finalists on the first two series, so this almost feels like an all-stars episode to see out the current season with a bang.
“As last year’s winner, Joss is the perfect choice to invite back to be the latest in a series of guest judges.
“And it’s going to be hilarious to see Jason return to wear his Hedgehog outfit, Nicola in her Queen Bee costume and Aston return as Robin to perform duets.” All of the stars who have already been eliminated from this year’s show will return to perform again on Saturday’s finale.
Soul singer Joss triumphed last year as Sausage, with Aston finishing third the same year as Robin.
Nicola won as Queen Bee in 2020 and Jason came second as Hedgehog.
Joss is the latest in a series of guest judges on this year’s show who have joined panel members Rita Ora, 31, Jonathan Ross, 61, Mo Gilligan, 33, and Davina McCall, 54.
