The comedian-and-presenter - who was the runner-up on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' three years ago - has landed his first prime time gig on the channel with bosses signing him up to be the face of the exciting new talent show after a successful stint fronting quiz show 'Hey Tracey!' this summer.
A source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre TV column: "Joel has impressed head honchos at ITV and they think he is the perfect fit for this zany show.
"They're hoping he can help make this new series a hit, especially after 'The X Factor' and 'The Voice' have failed recently to bring the big audiences."
'The Masked Singer' - which first started in South Korea with a US version pulling in 12 million viewers earlier this year- will see 12 stars disguised in costumes head-to-toe as they sing in front of a panel of celebrity judges.
ITV's Head of Entertainment Commissioning Siobhan Greene preciously said: "Not very often, a show comes along that seems to abandon all the rules ... and this is it. 'The Masked Singer' is original, bold, funny and a proper guessing game, that we hope will have the nation hooked. We all loved it from the moment we saw it and are so excited to be bringing it to a UK audience."
