Also joining them is special guest panellist, Leona Lewis, while Joel Dommett returns to host once again.
Teasing what’s to come, singer Rita said: “The show is just that crazy and the costumes are just as crazy as well!”

It will feature its silliest line-up yet - with an air fryer, an owl in school uniform, a yeti with a broken foot, a rat wearing a tool belt, a storm cloud and a cup of bubble tea all taking to the stage.
They will hope to follow in the footsteps of previous winners Nicola Roberts (AKA Queen Bee), Joss Stone (Sausage), Natalie Imbruglia (Panda) and Charlie Simpson (Rhino).
The Sun previously revealed Olly Murs and Jennifer Saunders will be helping out on the ITV talent show in the New Year.
Reigning champion Charlie Simpson also lends a hand.
The Busted star, who crooned his way to victory as Rhino on the last series, covers Rita’s seat for one episode of the new run.
It means that Rita is missing almost half of the season, which usually runs to eight episodes.
She has been forced to sit them out after committing to other work projects.
Of the clash, Rita said: “I’m gutted to be missing some episodes.
“But keeping my seat warm are some great guest panellists, who I’m told are also super-competitive and will keep the others on their toes.”
A source said: “Skipping three out of eight episodes feels like a pretty big chunk so viewers are bound to miss Rita, she’s such a fan fave.
“But shaking up the panel is also another fun way to keep the programme fresh.
"Jennifer brings a whole new energy, whilst Olly is of course such a safe hands when it comes to talent shows.

“It will be interesting to see what Charlie brings to the table.”
Olly’s signing came as somewhat of a TV lifeline after he was dumped by The Voice following six years as a coach.
