ITV 'secures UK rights to The Masked Dancer'

ITV reportedly secures the format rights to The Masked Singer spinoff The Masked Dancer.

ITV has reportedly picked up the rights to remake The Masked Singer spinoff The Masked Dancer in the UK.

The show, which first aired on Fox in the US last month, sees mystery celebrities perform dance routines while dressed head to toe in elaborate costumes.

According to The Sun, the UK version will be filmed this summer and form part of ITV's autumn schedules.

"Everyone's really excited about The Masked Dancer - it's a huge success in the USA so producers can't wait to bring it to the UK," a source told the newspaper.

"Like The Masked Singer it is brilliant fun with high production values and everyone is convinced it'll be a hit this side of the pond.

"ITV struck the deal over the rights to the format at the start of this week and now the producers are compiling a team to start work on it.

"It's still very early days and casting has yet to properly begin on the show, which they hope can be filmed this summer.

"After Britain's Got Talent had to be delayed they wanted another big show to fill that gap and The Masked Dancer has it all – stars, music and performances."
