American Comedian and actor, Nick Cannon, has tested positive for coronavirus.

The 40-year-old will be stepping down as the host of Fox reality competition ‘The Masked Singer’ while he quarantines and recovers from the virus.

Nick Cannon will be temporarily replaced by Niecy Nash in the first few episodes of ‘The Masked Singer’ fifth season, set to begin production on Thursday.

Nash had appeared on the show’s fourth season as a guest judge sometime ago.

The fifth season of ‘The Masked Singer’ will premiere in March, with Nicole Scherzinger, Ken Jeong, Robin Thicke, and Jenny McCarthy returning as judges.
