TV's greatest guessing game since Through the Keyhole is back for a second series, and though Ken Jeong has had to drop out because of travel restrictions, the show's producers have chosen a brilliant replacement in the comedian Mo Gilligan. Ready for some more utterly ludicrous costumed singing action? Our guide explains how to watch The Masked Singer season 2 for FREE in the UK - and also from other parts of the world.

Gilligan will be joining regular panellists Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross and a hopefully regular-sized Rita Ora, rather than the terrifying giant AR version in *that* 5G ad.

The Masked Singer series 2 comprises eight episodes that will air on ITV every Saturday at 7pm GMT, starting from Boxing Day (December 26). This means you can watch The Masked Singer FREE in the UK on ITV Hub - and if you're outside of the UK and don't want to miss a second of the preposterous costumed, singing, sleuthing action, all you need is a good VPN to tune back in to your favourite shows from home.

But enough about the panellists - let's talk characters. The series 2 lineup features a saveloy wrapped up in newspaper (Sausage), a hairy, heavily armed Viking, and what appears to be a grown-up version of Edgar the Dragon from last year's John Lewis ad, with a stack of glow-sticks strapped to his chest. 

Six of the 12 celebrity contestants will take to the stage in episode one, and one of them will be unmasked at the end of the show. Fingers crossed it's one of those big reveals that leaves everyone on the panel completely non-plussed. There really is nothing better.

If you've never watched The Masked Singer before, you'll be hooked right away, and if you have, we know you'll already be scouring the costumes for clues. Follow our guide below to stream The Masked Singer series 2 live online – no matter where in the world you are, we'll show how to watch The Masked Singer free in the UK or from other parts of the world.
