Format

The show will follow a similar format to that of the British version. A total of 12 celebrities will be competing, split into two groups of 6 for the first episodes, with everyone competing at once starting from the fifth episode. The contestants will be paired up in one-on-one duels, with the loser of each duel being up for elimination. The least voted contestant will be unmasked and eliminated from the competition.

It has also been confirmed that some episodes will include guest masked performers who will reveal themselves after their performance.[2]

Panelists and host

Arturo Valls will be serving as the show's host, and will be joined by a permanent panel of 'investigators' composed of actors Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, singer Malú and comedian José Mota. Some episodes will also feature guest panelists whose identities have not yet been disclosed. Classical singer Ainhoa Arteta was initially slated to be in the panel, but pulled out due to delays in production caused by the coronavirus pandemic and was replaced by Malú. Also, Vanesa Martín stood in for Malú when she missed a taping due to injury and Eva González appeared as a guest investigator.[3][4][5][6][7]
