The Masked Singer UK fans declare that replacing Rita Ora with Maya Jama was a ‘genius idea’
The sixth series of The Masked Singer UK kicked off tonight (January 4) and fans are happy to see that Maya Jama has signed up for the show.
The 30-year-old TV star joined The Masked Singer to replace singer Rita Ora, who had been on the panel for the first five series. However, it was announced last year that Rita would not be returning due to joining the panel on the US version. As a result, viewers couldn’t be more pleased with the switch-up.
