Production
On 25 January 2020, it was announced that the show would be returning for a second series. On 30 April 2020, it was reported that they were considering filming the new series without an audience due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom. It was later announced on 17 August 2020 that filming would begin on 14 September with safety precautions in place.

Panellists and host
Following the announcement of the series, it was confirmed by ITV that Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall and Rita Ora would all return to the panel for the second series. It was also confirmed that Joel Dommett would also return as host.

On 19 August 2020, it was announced that British comedian Mo Gilligan would replace Ken Jeong on the panel for series two, due to travel restrictions from COVID-19 preventing his participation.

Guest panellists included Alan Carr in the sixth episode, Matt Lucas in the seventh episode, and series one winner, Nicola Roberts, in the eighth episode.

A 10-second teaser revealing the first two costumes was released in November 2020. The series has 12 contestants.
