 The Masked Singer Introduces This British Musician as New Panelist in First Look at Season 11

Rita Ora is stepping in for longtime host Nicole Scherzinger on season 11 of The Masked Singer, joining panelists Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg and Robin Thicke.

Now we know what Rita Ora is up to.


The "Praising You" singer joined her fellow panelists Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg and Robin Thicke—as well as host Nick Cannon—in a new trailer for season 11 of The Masked Singer, premiering March 6.


"I am so thrilled to be stepping as season 11's new panelist," the 33-year-old said in a new promo for the show, with Ken adding, "This season goes to 11, innit."


"Don't think twice, you and I can be together for the brand new season of The Masked Singer," Rita continued, referencing her hit songs. "I'll be waiting for you."


Back in September, the FOX show revealed the British singer would be taking over for longtime panelist Nicole Scherzinger, who was stepping away from season 11 to star in the West End's revival of Sunset Boulevard.


And luckily for Rita—who married director Taika Waititi in 2022—she's already a pro when it comes to competition shows, having been a panelist on the U.K. version of The Masked Singer since January 2020 and previously serving as a coach on The Voice Australia and a judge on The X Factor UK.

The next season promises to shake things up, with Ken touting the incredible theme weeks like The Wizard of Oz, Queen and Transformers.

As for the new characters hitting the screen? Fans can look forward to performances from singers dressed as an Ugly Sweater, a Clock and even a mustachioed book.

In December season 10 came to an exciting end as singer Ne-Yo took the crown with in his Cow costume. Dukes of Hazzard alum John Schneider finished second as the Donut, with Janel Parrish's Gazelle coming in third and Grammy winner's Macy Gray as the Sea Queen finishing fourth.

During the season 10 kickoff special on Sept. 10, Demi Lovato was revealed as Anonymouse. However, she won't be competiting, it was a special one-time appearance.


"I wanted to be on your show," she told host Nick Cannon during the episode, "because it seemed so fun, and it has been so fun. And I get to sing, so its the best of both worlds."
