'The Masked Singer' Reveals Judge Switch-Up for Season 11
For the first time in the history of The Masked Singer, a shake-up is happening at the judges' table. For the eleventh season of the hit Fox reality series (not to be confused with the tenth season premiering in two weeks), Nicole Scherzinger will be replaced by Rita Ora.
Fox revealed that the former member of the Pussycat Dolls would be stepping away from the judging panel for Season 11. It comes as no surprise, considering that it was previously announced that she would be performing the lead role of Grizabella in Cats on the West End in the fall. The question fans had, though, was who was going to replace her, if anyone?

The answer comes, ironically, from the place Nicole is going to miss out on the season: The U.K.
British singer-songwriter Rita Ora sports more than 10 billion streams and four No. 1 U.K. singles, and holds the UK. record for most Top-10 singles for a British female artist with a total of 13. She also is no stranger to The Masked Singer, having appeared as a panelist during The Masked Singer U.K. since the show began.
Season 11 of The Masked Singer is currently filming, and expects to air in spring 2024. Season 10 aired its anniversary kickoff special on Sept. 10, culminating in its biggest star appearance in Demi Lovato. The season proper premieres on Sept. 27 at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.
