The Masked Singer UK is set for a shake up on the judging panel (Image: ITV) ITV has reportedly recruited Maya Jama as a new judge on The Masked Singer UK after original judge Rita Ora is said to have quit after five series. Rita, 33, has been on the panel since the first series but is reportedly leaving so that she can make a movie and will now feature on the American instalment instead. Love Island host Maya Jama, 29, has bagged her first primetime role on ITV1 and according to The Sun , will be joining Davina McCall , Jonathan Ross and Mo Gilligan on the judging panel.
A source told the publication: "This is a huge deal for Maya, who’s now one of telly’s fastest-rising stars. It puts her in front of a huge Saturday night audience every week on a show watched by everyone from kids to pensioners. "Up to now she’s had a following which is very young due to Love Island, but signing for The Masked Singer would take her career into a whole new league.
" During the last series which concluded this year in February, singer Rita had to sit out of some episodes due to scheduling conflicts where she was filling in for Nicole Scherzinger on the US version. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
