Comedian Alan Carr is set to join the judging panel for The Masked Singer, according to reports from Belfast Telegraph and the Irish Mirror. Both outlets say Carr has confirmed his appointment as a judge for the ITV entertainment show, where a panel of celebrities assesses the identities of performers hidden by costumes. The coverage focuses on Carr’s new role, describing it as him bringing “intelligence” to the programme, a phrasing used in one report, while the other highlights that he will be sitting on the judging panel. The articles do not provide further details on the series’ air date, the full judging line-up, or the format of the upcoming season beyond Carr’s participation. Overall, the accounts agree on the central point: Carr has been confirmed as a judge for The Masked Singer, joining the panel ahead of the show’s next run.
