Jonathan Ross' major BBC comeback details shared - and it's not Strictly


The Masked Singer star is in talks to appear on one of the country's biggest reality shows as he prepares to return to the BBC following an on-air scandal

And while it had been widely thought he would be making an appearance on Strictly Come Dancing, it's been revealed he's actually in talks for the celebrity spin-off of The Traitors, hosted by Claudia Winkleman and one of the most successful reality shows since launching in 2022. A controversial broadcast on Ross’s Radio 2 show in October 2008 led to him being suspended for 12 weeks without pay and saw comedian Russell Brand resign from the corporation, reports The Sun. Jonathan, a guesser on ITV’s The Masked Singer since 2020, this week said his chat show will return next year, which is when the celeb version of The Traitors will be filmed.
