RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Alan Carr and Graham Norton will all be returning to judge, but as always, they will need some celebs to give them a helping hand.

Alexandra Burke has caught the Drag Race bug after taking part in a Snatch Game last series (Snatch Game is a mock game show where the queens compete in character as an iconic celebrity), and will now be joining the show as the queens’ vocal coach. Her services will be required in iconic challenges such as the Ru-sical and the Girl Group Challenge.

BBC One announces celebrity panel for I Can See Your Voice

Comedian Jimmy Carr and TV favourites Alison Hammond and Amanda Holden will be guiding the players guessing who can and can’t sing from a group of unknown singers standing before them.

Each week a different popstar will also join the panel.

Holden said: “I’ve seen first hand over my many years as a judge how acts can shock you with an incredible voice.

“With my experience on stage, television and radio I think I have one of the best pair of eyes in the business for spotting talent, so the masqueraders will really have to up their game to fool me!”
