The Masked Singer’s Rita Ora replaced by huge TV star after ‘going missing again’ in show shake-up
THE Masked Singer judge Rita Ora was replaced by a huge TV star on the panel after going missing again.
TV legend Jennifer Saunders stepped in for the pop star on Saturday night.
The comedian, 65, sat in for Rita on the ITV show and was dressed as a head teacher for the school disco themed night.
She joined Jonathan Ross who was dressed as a janitor, Davina McCall who slipped into a sexy PE teacher ensemble and Mo Gilligan who was the 'class jock.’
Meanwhile, the programme’s host Joel Dommett wore a green suit as a geography teacher.
Davina was all smiles as she posed in a red sparkly bomber jacket and white shorts.

She completed the look with red wrist sweatbands and a headband, as well as a pair of white pristine trainers.
The panel have been scratching their heads to figure out who the celebrities are behind the crazy costumes.
So far Rat (Shirley Ballas), Chicken Caesar (Alexander Armstrong) and Weather (Dionne Warwick) have left the competition.
Owl, Piranha, Maypole, Air Fryer, Eiffel Tower, Bubble Tea, Bigfoot, Dippy Egg and Cricket will be back tonight to show off their amazing voices.
Rita has missed three episodes of the show and viewers think there's a good reason.
The fifth season of the singing competition kicked off in December with a character called the Maypole.
And fans speculated that it was Rita behind the mask as she was conspicuously absent from her usual spot.
Stand up comedian Mo Gilligan was the first to voice the theory, saying: "I think it might be Rita Ora."
Viewers across the UK took to X to share the sentiment.
One person mused: "I think it's Rita Ora. If so, what a curveball."
Another added: "I fully think Maypole is Rita Ora btw."
A third agreed: "I could almost believe that IS Rita Ora in Maypole, just for a twist."
