How much do The Masked Singer UK judges get paid?
THE Masked Singer panel is made up of four star-studded judges.
But who are they and how much do they get paid? From the judges salaries to how to watch the 2025 series of the singing competition – here’s all you need to know.
How much do The Masked Singer UK judges get paid?
Jonathan Ross and Davina McCall
According to reports, judges Jonathan Ross and Davina McCall earn around the same amount of money for their role on The Masked Singer.
Discussing the star’s salaries, PR expert Robyn Munro told the Daily Star: ”I would predict the iconic pair earn an estimated £200-225k per episode.
”Jonathan has previously said the panel took a pay cut at one point, so I think Davina and Jonathan’s figure was considerably higher when the family show first aired.”
In July 2023, Davina revealed that when the series launched in 2020, Jonathan shared details of his pay cheque to protect her from a possible gender pay gap.
She explained: ”When I [got] my job, [Jonathan] called me and said: ‘This is what I’m being paid’.
“I think you and I should get paid the same amount.”
Mo Gilligan
Like fellow judges Davina and Jonathan, as of 2025, Mo Gilligan’s salary is not officially known.
However, in 2021, a source told The Sun: ”Mo has proved a mega-hit on The Masked Singer — with fans and with everyone working on the show.
”It’s a relief for the bosses as he takes home £100,000 per episode.
”Backstage he’s been nicknamed Mo Money because of what he’s said to be getting. His pay packet is the talk of the industry too — it’s an incredible figure.
”Mo is proving his worth though. He’s brought a real spark to the panel and he and host Joel Dommett bounce off each other really nicely.
”Behind the scenes he’s one of the most popular people on the panel because he’s so down to earth and seriously funny.”
Maya Jama
As she is the newest judge to join the panel, there isn’t much much known about Maya Jama’s salary for The Masked Singer UK.
The Love Island host will join judges Jonathan, Davina and Mo, after Rita Ora announced her exit from the show.
Although Maya’s The Masked Singer sum isn’t officially known, in November 2024, The Sun did reveal the stars huge earnings.
In 2023, Maya made an impressive £2.5 million.
