Peter will join Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall and Oti Mabuse to watch the performances very closely to try and work out the identities behind the costumes.

Peter is replacing comedian Mo Gilligan as he’s unable to join the panel due to touring commitments.

However, Mo will be back to join the four panellists for a surprise appearance during the series.

Other special guests will also make appearances.
