The panel typically consists of Davina McCall, Maya Jama, Jonathan Ross and comedian Mo Gilligan.
However this week Mo was nowhere to be seen, with the panel instead adding their star panelist in his seat instead.
Hollywood actor Richard E. Grant joined the line up to judge the remaining masked characters as they took the stage with the final five left.
The panellists took their seat with the ITV show appearing to ignore Mo's no show, but viewers were quick to ask where the comedian was.
