Maya Jama Receives Praise as She Takes Over from Rita Ora on The Masked Singer UK

Fans of The Masked Singer UK are buzzing with excitement over the show’s latest twist as Maya Jama steps in for Rita Ora. The highly anticipated sixth season premiered on January 4, 2025, marking a significant shift in the panel lineup. Rita Ora, a mainstay for the first five seasons, has moved on to participate in the US version of the show, opening the door for Jama, the talented 30-year-old TV personality.

This casting change has garnered overwhelmingly positive feedback from viewers eager for fresh energy on the panel. Social media platforms lit up with fans expressing their delight at the switch. One viewer remarked on X that “Maya Jama is just phenomenal,” while another stated, “I can’t even remember who Maya replaced, but I’m already a huge fan!” Others echoed these sentiments, emphasizing how Jama’s presence feels invigorating. “Replacing Rita Ora with Maya Jama was clearly an amazing call,” declared one avid fan.

Before the season kicked off, Jama took to Instagram to share behind-the-scenes glimpses, expressing her enthusiasm about joining The Masked Singer family. “Thrilled to be joining The Masked Singer,” she wrote, admitting to feeling a mix of nerves and excitement as the new panel member.

Returning with Jama are familiar faces Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, and Mo Gilligan, alongside host Joel Dommett. The episode featured a surprise reveal as fans learned the identity behind Giant Joel—a comical rendition of host Joel—was none other than Olympic champion Mo Farah. The unmasking added a layer of thrill as the panel, guessing names like Ant and Dec, finally landed on the correct answer.

As the audience cast their votes to determine who would stay in the competition, Spag Bol found themselves eliminated first. Viewers will have to tune in tomorrow night to uncover the identity of this contestant.
