Each week it features celebrities competing against each other while completely disguised in an elaborate costume to conceal their identity, from a unicorn, monster, robot or spider to octopus, lion or wolf.

The show is hosted by Osher Gunsberg with a guessing panel of Lindsay Lohan, Dannii Minogue, Jackie O and Dave Hughes who hear them sing, follow the clues and try to guess the celebrity.

The 12 singing celebrities are said to include winners of an ARIA Award, MTV Award, Logie Award, World Cup, Order Of Australia and Hall of Famer.

It starts 7.30pm, Monday, September 23 as the AFL’s night of nights is underway on Seven.

The Brownlow Medal is traditionally held on the Monday before the AFL grand final and this year is not any different.

What has changed is Hamish McLachlan replacing Bruce McAvaney as host, and he has some pretty sizeable shoes to fill.

It is a clash between this year’s most prestigious AFL honour and masked mystery celebrities.

And it is time to make a decision.
