ITV Masked Dancer host Joel Dommett has let slip a huge hint to the identity of two celebrities on The Masked Dancer this year. The popular guessing game is returning to our screens on Saturday, September 3, and host Joel - who will appear on the show alongside the likes of panellists Peter Crouch, Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross and Oti Mabuse - has revealed some more details about a couple of the celebrities' identities ahead of the brand new series.
As the show returns, fans will be keen to work out who's behind the masks with a record number of 13 celebrities taking part in this series. Costumes include Pearly King, Pillar and Post - the first ever duo, Scissors and many more. But Joel has let slip a big detail about two of the celebrities, which might be key to viewers cracking the identity later on!
Speaking at the ITV Autumn Entertainment Launch in west London, Joel teased: "Definitely there's some international stars! I can think of two right now that are so huge. I just couldn't believe they came over.

"I think now the restrictions have eased so there are more people coming over. There was definitely a few. I was like, oh my gosh. I was totally starstruck by these people and the fact they were there. It was amazing."
He added: "Even I had interactions with people the whole time. So I hold their hand and hugged them or something and then after the reveal, I was like oh my gosh I was holding your hand and hugging you!"
Joel's favourite costume is Pearly King - and whilst they aren't the best dancer, they are "really enjoying" their experience, which the audience have also been enjoying too, reports The Mirror.
"I do think that Pearly King is my absolute favourite. They're really good and embrace the whole character. It's amazing and what makes this show wonderful is that it's not really in any way a talent show," he said.
"You can be an amazing singer or dancer, but Pearly King isn’t the best dancer by country mile but he's embracing it and courts the audience, he’s really enjoying it and I think that can get you really far."
He added: "The more you enjoy it, the more people enjoy watching you. It's really fun."
