The Masked Singer viewers stunned by announcement at end of show as they make another demand

Viewers of The Masked Singer were left stunned when an announcement was made at the end of the latest show.

The ITV singing competition was back on screens on Saturday night as the extravagant characters performed again for the judging panel and studio audience.

There were also more clues as to the identity of those still hiding behind the masks.

The remaining characters - Panda, Firework, Doughnuts, Mushroom, and Robobunny - all performed another hit song in front of the panel.

Years & Years singer Olly Alexander joined as a guest on the latest show alongside the regular line-up of presenter Davina McCall, singer Rita Ora, broadcaster Jonathan Ross and comedian Mo Gilligan.

However, the time was soon up for England striker Michael Owen and actress Jaime Winstone who were unmasked in a double elimination on The Masked Singer.

The sports star, 42, and Jamie, 36, who is the daughter of actor Ray Winstone, had their identities revealed after landing in the bottom three alongside Rockhopper.

Michael, who issued an apology after the show, had been dressed as Doughnuts, while Jamie had been masquerading as Firework - in front of close pal Rita.

Robobunny, Panda, Mushroom, Rockhopper, and Traffic Cone remain in the competition, and will compete in next week’s semi-final.

But fans of the ITV singing show were distracted by an announcement at the end of last night's episode.

It was revealed that next Saturday's special guest judge will be none other than Dame Joan Collins.

But the latest episode actually left The Masked Singer viewers making the same demand.

@estellej_xox said: "Petition for Olly to be a permanent judge pls #TheMaskedSinger."

"Can we just have Olly Alexander as a judge every week? He's so much more bearable and doesn't need to scream loudly like other certain judges do. #TheMaskedSingerUK," @Tre_Animation tweeted.

@carriehayler shared: "#TheMaskedSingerUK All we need is Olly Alexander on our TV on a Saturday night and all ready the world is a much better place."
