The Masked Dancer line-up has been revealed by ITV1 - albeit not the stars behind the costumes.

An official air date hasn't been announced but ITV has said it's coming soon to ITV and the ITV Hub.

It will air in May, it was also confirmed.

On Lorraine Kelly's ITV talk show on Friday, the Scottish TV host spoke with an array of guests about the upcoming show.

Oti Mabuse has been recruited as judge, and Joel Dommett presents the spin off.

Jonathan Ross will also be back on the judges' panel, alongside Davina McCall, and comedian Mo Gilligan as well.

From ballet to ballroom, salsa to swing and everything in between, here are the characters that will be dancing on to screens:

  • Zip
  • Carwash
  • Beagle
  • Squirrel
  • Scarecrow
  • Frog
  • Beetroot
  • Viper
  • Rubber Chicken
  • Flamingo
  • Knickerbocker Glory
  • Llama

The official Twitter account said: "Dancing onto your screen this spring on @ITV @WeAreSTV and ITV Hub."

Oti said: "I'm a huge fan of The Masked Singer and I loved U.S. Masked Dancer so I just can't wait to start on this show... It's going to be so much fun!!!"

ITV said: "Twelve celebrities will be stepping onto the dancefloor to take on character alter egos as they trip the light fantastic in a bid to wow the panel and confuse with their moves.

"Clue packages will accompany every Masked Dancer to help the panel and at home detectives crack the case of who the famous faces behind the masks are."

The Masked Dancer UK will air on ITV1 this May, the broadcaster has confirmed.
