The Masked Singer fans go wild after judging panel shake-up for Christmas special
THE Masked Singer fans were very excited about the latest edition to the judging panel.
X Factor winner Leona Lewis has joined Rita Ora, Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall and Mo Gilligan for the Christmas special.
The show was festive as Decorations, Reindeer, Sprout and Partridge (in a pear tree) all took to the stage.
However, it was Leona who stole the show.
"Leona Lewis still looks fresh," one wrote.
"Omg yay Leona looks gorgeous," a second added.

"Leona Lewis is actually so beautiful," chimed a third.
She was wearing a black dress with huge puff-ball sleaves and plunging neckline.
But it was the skirt of the gown that really wowed the audience as it was designed to look like a Christmas tree.
The Bleeding Love singer added elbow-length gloves and had her hair in long curls.

"That colour looks gorgeous on you," added a fourth.
Leona, 38, recently told fans what she gets up to when she's not singing - and it's not what you'd expect.
Inspired by her parents' "bricks and mortar" business, she has opened two vegan cafes in LA with her husband Dennis Jauch.
Christine Lampard, who was standing in for Lorraine on her ITV show, interviewed Leona on her passion-project.
"In a side step from music you're very very passionate about the fact you have coffee shops now in LA," Christine said.
"And it's very health based, vegan based, plant based, you take it very seriously.
"It's a very important passion project for you."
Leona, speaking of her "important mission", replied: "Yeah so my husband and I actually opened up these two shops and I think we had always seen our own parents working, and building up their own businesses.
"I think we wanted a brick and mortar store.
";And I love coffee shops, I love sitting and writing and reading books in shops, so we decided to open a couple up.
"And yeah we just love it it's like our passion project."
She added: "It is very much a family business and Carmel [her daughter] is always with us in there and it's lovely."
Leona made her big baby reveal in August 2022.
At the time, the star and her husband told fans that they had called their baby girl Carmel Allegra.
Along with a cute snap she wrote: "And then there were three. Our little Carmel Allegra arrived 22.7.22."
