ITV2 one-off special[edit]
On 26 April 2020, Dommett invited panellists McCall and Ross to appear on his show, Home Alone with Joel Dommett, on ITV2 to take part in a one-off special of The Masked Singer. With COVID-19 spreading and residents of the United Kingdom under lockdown, Dommett had to conference call the panellists where they had to guess the identities of three masked celebrities. McCall and Ross were tasked with not only guessing their identities, but also deciding on an overall 'winner' and 'runner-up'.
The celebrities' performances were pre-recorded and consisted of them singing, followed by a hint to their identity, before their reveal at the end of the segment. Rather than the typical costumes and masks that contestants usually wear on the show, the recordings were edited to hide each singer's face with a specific image.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Teddy Bear | 'Sex Bomb' by Tom Jones | Ore Oduba | RUNNER-UP |
| 2 | Smiley Face | 'Sweat (A La La La La Long)' by Inner Circle | James Argent | THIRD |
| 3 | Robot | '...Baby One More Time' by Britney Spears | Chesney Hawkes | WINNER |
