The third series of The Masked Singer will feature celebrities disguised as dazzling chandeliers, colourful poodles and futuristic robobunnies.

The ITV show, in which a panel guesses the identities of mystery stars performing live in disguise, is returning for season three with a new cast of 12 characters.
