In the first premiere episode, the identity of Googly Eyes has finally been revealed, and it is 10-time MLB All-Star and World Series champion David Ortiz. Kelly Osbourne is slated to return after she appeared as a contestant on the show during Season 2 to honour her father, Ozzy Osbourne, during “Ozzfest Night.”

Before getting to all of that, though, returning panelist Rita Ora kicks the night off with a showy performance of KPop Demon Hunters smash hit, "Golden," where she is eventually joined by fellow panelists Robin Thicke, Ken Jeong, and Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg.

The Masked Singer Season 14 premiered on January 7, 2026. The reality show featured interesting characters and fantastic costumes.

ITV's reality series has a host of new hidden singers hoping to keep their identity a secret from the judges and audiences at home.

From new costumes to “bigger” reveals, our Masked Singer Season 14 set visit teases the wildest premiere yet — with Nicole Scherzinger rumors, too.

Contestants must wear special sweatshirts that say "Don't Talk to Me" on them, so people on The Masked Singer team know who to avoid. Pestis made clear that the shirts didn't come about "because of publicity," but rather to prevent confusion between staff and the stars.
