He’s famed for his robot dance moves so Peter Crouch will be able to give experienced critiques from The Masked Dancer panel when he stands in for Mo Gilligan.
The 6ft 7in former footballer, who used to celebrate goals with his clunky robotic moves, will join Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall and Oti Mabuse to guess which celebrities are behind outlandish masks.
Peter, who has four children with wife Abbey Clancy, says: “The show is a firm favourite in our household and when asked I jumped at the chance.
“I’m currently scrolling through friends’ socials looking for those tell-tale dance moves.
“Another plus is by being on the panel my social media, family and friends won’t be constantly speculating that I’m hiding behind one of the masks.”
Mo, who will be on tour during filming, says: “I’m gutted to be missing most of the series this year as I’ll be working in the US.
“But I’ve got the perfect sub to take my place.”
Host Joel Dommett said he has “always looked up to” Crouchy – “because he is massive”.
Davina said she was looking forward to another “bonkers but brilliant” series.
Cocky Jonathan, who won last series by guessing gymnast Louis Smith was behind Car Wash, said: “As the current reigning champion amongst the panel, I will be using my expert knowledge in all things dance to take the title again. Who knows, this year my dream might come true and Mary Berry might just be behind one of the masks.”
Finding the 87-year-old former Bake Off host under a mask would be the icing on the cake.

Ozzy Osbourne
Shaaaarroooooooon!
Ozzy Osbourne FaceTimes with Sharon and their pup Rocky from his Covid isolation, after contracting the virus last week.
Son Jack laughed: “One might think Dad gets more excited over things about his Pomeranian than anything else.” “My baby,” gushed Ozzy. “He’s my baby dog.”
Speaking about his dad’s experiences with Covid, Jack has said: “I’ll save the colourful language, but he says it sucks.”
Sharon abruptly flew to the US to be with Ozzy, though she assured the 9,000 viewers of her TalkTV show that she would return.
Pete Davidson
They’ve been dating since October, so of course it’s time for Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson to move to the inevitable next level: tattoos of each other.
Comic Pete has got Kim’s initials and the initials of her children – North, eight, Saint, six, Chicago, four, and Psalm, two – inked as KNSCP.
He also has a tattoo seemingly in reference to Kim, which reads My Girl Is A Lawyer, as she is studying for the bar.
Pete, who has dated Ariana Grande, Phoebe Dynevor and Kate Beckinsale to name but a few, is definitely not going to regret his new body art.
