The Masked Singer host Joel Dommett will be surprised by a guest character called 'Giant Joel' in this year's Christmas special.

The one-off episode will feature a number of celebrities concealed behind extravagant costumes, including 'Star', 'Turkey Crown', 'Nutcracker' and 'Christmas Cracker'.

A bonus addition to the lineup is Giant Joel, who will perform for judges Mo Gilligan, Davina McCall and Jonathan Ross, as well as special guests Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders.

Talking about meeting Giant Joel for the first time, Dommett said: "I thought, 'Is my nose really that shape?' Then everyone confirmed it is.... and [my] teeth are that big!"

"My wife has said that I'm not allowed to keep it because we don't have space," he continued, "so I have told her that we need to buy a marginally bigger house. Maybe we can turn it upside down and turn it into a really cool laundry bin or something."

The Masked Singer's Christmas special airs Boxing Day at 7.30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, while the new series begins Saturday, January 4 at 7pm.
