The former football forward represented Liverpool and Tottenham.
Peter Crouch is replacing Mo Gilligan as a judge for part of the second series of The Masked Dancer.
The comedian says he's "gutted" to step away from the show due to scheduling conflicts but says the ex-England footballer's perfect for the position.
The new series airs later this year with Oti Mabuse, Jonathan Ross and Davina McCall also on the judging panel.
