The Masked Singer finished its third series this year, but its popularity has continued to rise with the confirmation it will be back for two more seasons, so it's no surprise that a spin-off series could be on its way too.

The bonkers show, which originally started off in South Korea, called The King of Mask Singer, is now a global success with programmes in more than 56 countries!

So, what better way to celebrate the show's success, than by bringing together winners from the localised shows in one place for One World, One Masked Singer - on the search for The Global Masked Singer Champion.

Variety report the US show's executive producer Craig Plestis saying in a statement: 'This project has been a dream of mine since I realised that The Masked Singer was going to be a global phenomenon following the success of the format in the US.

'It is now in more than 56 countries, and I cannot wait to gather together delegates from each and every one, in brand new costumes, for an epic competition series to air across the planet in each Masked Singer territory.'

Craig bought the US rights to the show from MBC (a South Korean television and radio broadcaster). Speaking about the new show, MBC America's managing director of content & channel business, Nahee Kim said: "This will be a fantastic opportunity to expand our global brand of The King of Masked Singer and we expect this to be a big global success."

Participating countries have not yet been announced for this new show but we can't wait to see who's involved. So far in the UK, our winners have been Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts as Queen Bee, Joss Stone as Sausage and Natalie Imbruglia as Panda.

Check out which other celebs took part in The Masked Singer series three:

Panda - WINNER

Panda was crowned the third winner of The Masked Singer, with 'Torn' singer Natalie Imbruglia being behind the mask.

Mushroom - SECOND PLACE

Mushroom made it all the way to final, but was pipped to victory by Panda. Turns out it was Welsh singer Charlotte Church behind the mask!

Robobunny - THIRD PLACE

Robobunny had us all guessing throughout the series, but it was Westlife singer Mark Feehily under the mask! The star finished in third place behind Mushroom and Panda.

Rockhopper

RUMBLED: Destiny's Child singer Michelle Williams shocked the judges when she revealed herself as Rockhopper during the double elimination on Saturday 5th February!

Chandelier

RUMBLED: Poor Chandelier was rumbled in the first episode of The Masked Singer, but no one guessed that it was soul singer Heather Small - who had voice coach sessions to help hide her incredibly recognisable voice.

Snow Leopard

RUMBLED: Snow Leopard was unveiled as Loose Women's Gloria Hunniford after belting out Shirley Bassey's hit Big Spender.
Judge Jonathan Ross was spot on with his guess, as he admitted he would "recognise that voice anywhere".
