Launched for the first time on TF1 in 2019. The program entitled Mask Singer becameone of the unmissable events of the first channel over the years. Played by Camille Combal, this show is a competition between several masked and fully disguised celebrities. Their performances are judged by a jury of investigators and the present public. To which may occasionally be added a guest investigator. This was precisely the case in the issue broadcast on Friday May 22, 2026.
“For this ‘World Tour Special’ show. Kev Adams, Laurent Ruquier, Chantal Ladesou and Michaël Youn will welcome 2 mystery investigators alongside them for the first time! After performing on stage and being unmasked. They will then carry out the investigation with them to try to unmask the other celebrities still in competition, who will compete on our favorite hits by taking us on the five continents!“, indicated TF1 in a press release.
The Worlds Apart were hiding under the costume of Russian Dolls
In the end, the two mystery investigators were the YouTuber Pidi, who became known in 2021 with the songÇa va aller. And content creator LeBouseuh, that we had already seen in the 7th season of Mask Singer. During the show, the Russian Dolls were eliminated. The three personalities hidden under this costume were therefore unmasked. It was in fact the famous boy band called Les Worlds Apart.
Since the launch of the 9th season of Mask Singer on TF1.
No less than 13 costumes in competition were revealed. Among the personalities who have already been unmasked so far. We can notably cite the famous actress Firmine Richard. The latter was hiding under the Lawyer’s costume. The actress Véronique Jannot, hidden under the mask of the Panther, was also ousted. Just like singer Michael Jones, who dressed up as a Mummy. For his part, international star Jason Derulo performed on stage in the Hedgehog costume.
Mask Singer was replaced by The Voice on TF1 on Friday May 15, 2026
As a reminder, Mask Singer was not broadcast on TF1 on Friday May 15, 2026. Instead, viewers of the first channel were able to discover a new episode of The Voice that day. In fact, the emblematic TV show of the first channel is usually broadcast on Saturday evenings in prime time. However, its programming had been brought forward by a day in an exceptional manner.
The management of TF1 wanted to protect its tele-hook by replacing it with a number from the Grand Concours des animators on Saturday May 16, 2026. That day, the grand final of the Eurovision 2026 contest was broadcast live on France 2. With Camille Cerf and Stéphane Bern on comments. Given that this event allows the public channel to achieve audience ratings each year. TF1 a donc préféré avancer la diffusion
de The Voice. Even if it means deprogramming Mask Singer for a week
