The Masked Singer completely took the UK by storm! After its first series in January 2020, people were very equally divided - but we came together for the second series as it's exactly the sort of silly, harmless telly we needed to get us through lockdown.

The Masked Dancer has now been confirmed by ITV, and we cannot wait to see it! After weeks of rumours, we now know that a UK version of the US spin-off show The Masked Dancer is on its way - and we are VERY excited about that, so we've pulled together a list of celebrities we would absolutely love to see on The Masked Dancer...

What IS The Masked Dancer?

It's basically the same as The Masked Singer! Celebrities dress up in weird and wonderful costumes, and viewers at home along with the judging panel have to guess who it could be from clues they give us. Here's a little snippet of the US version and what we could expect over here...

19 celebrities we'd love to see on The Masked Dancer:

Cheryl

Not only was Cheryl a successful singer as part of Girls Aloud AND with her solo career, but her dance skills have always been a huge part of her life. Having learned ballet from a young age, Chez always gave the steps her all when performing live! And let's not forget that she was a judge on The Greatest Dancer... C'mon Chez, don a leopard costume or something and get on the show!

Ed Sheeran

We know he didn't exactly wow the judges with his moves on Britannia High, but he's probably got more to give these days. Plus, let's not forget his incredible dancing in his music video for 'Thinking Out Loud'!

Curtis and AJ Pritchard

The dancing brothers have said they'd love to work together on some sort of dance show - so what could be a better opportunity than this? We've seen contestant pairs over in the US, so it's about time we brought it this side of the pond!

Fleur East

Fleur East would be SUCH a good addition to the show. We all know she's got some powerhouse vocals, but imagine what she could do dance-wise on the show?! Everyone knew she had the full package after her incredible performance of 'Uptown Funk' on The X Factor!

David Walliams

We reckon Britain's Got Talent judge David Walliams has picked up enough over his almost 10 years on the show to be able to give us some good moves. Especially after his Little Britain co-star and best pal Matt Lucas sat on the judging panel of The Masked Singer as a guest judge during the last season!

Piers Morgan

Similarly, we think Piers Morgan would give everyone a run for their money! Especially now he's left Good Morning Britain!

Ed Balls

Speaking of Strictly moves... We've GOT to see more of Ed Balls' Gangnam Style - whether he's dressed as himself or in some sort of grizzly bear costume.

Gemma Collins

The Queen of Reality TV has SURELY got to give this one a go! We loved seeing Gemma on Dancing On Ice, and she definitely had more to give before her departure - so why not swap those moves for a non-slippy dancefloor?

Jedward

Jedward may have risen to fame with the hopes of becoming singers, but let's not forget THAT classic dance routine to their version of '...Oops I Did It Again' by Britney!

Danny Dyer

Danny Dyer just oozes the sort of confidence you need to be a good dancer... We'd love to see what moves he could bring to the show! And there's got to be some brilliant clues using Cockney Rhyming Slang.

Jesy Nelson

Jesy Nelson has always been a fantastic dancer - from childhood through to her time on The X Factor and with Little Mix, Jesy's dance talents have never shied away! We'd love to see her on this show.

Johannes Radebe

Strictly star Johannes would be a dream on this show! Not only is he a super talented dancer, but he's got such a wonderful personality too - he could win the whole thing!

Kevin Clifton

Another Strictly face we'd love to see is Kevin Clifton! He's always been a talented dancer and he's looking for new projects after leaving the show following the 2019 series.

Theresa May

The Dancing Queen herself would be a brilliant addition to the show! We've already seen some of Theresa's moves before.

Ashley Banjo

If Jordan wouldn't be up for it, perhaps his older brother Ashley would be! Often considered the face of the dance troupe, Ash has proved his dancing skills a million times over - plus he's sat on the panel of Dancing On Ice and Britain's Got Talent!

Torvill and Dean

More potential Dancing On Ice candidates come in the form of Jayne Torvill OBE and Christopher Dean OBE! Surely dancing on normal floor is easier than pirouetting on ice?!

Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes

After Ruth's stint on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017, her husband Eamonn teased her mercilessly... So now it's his time to shine - show us what you've got, Eamonn!

Paul Hollywood

We've just got a feeling Paul is secretly blessed with the talent of rhythm. There's just something about those steely eyes.
