This season features not only a new set of contestants, but some fresh new faces on the judging panel each week including Elizabeth Hurley, Dawn French, Maya Jama, Jessie Ware, Sheridan Smith, Lorraine Kelly, MNEK and Jourdan Dunn, who are all set to appear throughout the season. Meanwhile, regular judges Michelle Visage, Graham Norton and Alan Carr are back in their rightful seats too.
