Inside Macy Gray and The Masked Singer's fallout and what ITV really think of chaotic exit

The Masked Singer UK viewers were lost for words when Toad in the Hole stormed off stage this weekend after being voted out of the show. Toad was revealed to be American singer Macy Gray, who was less than impressed to be voted off the show so early on in the competition. A source claimed bosses behind-the-scenes worked on encouraging Toad in the Hole to finish the show, whilst host Joel Dommett entertained the audience.
An insider claimed she was "almost shellshocked to start with" and was soon "gutted to be out so early because she really enjoyed being on the American version - when obviously she did brilliantly - so was totally blindsided." She was Sea Queen in the US version of the singing competition.
During the awkward moment of Macy returning to the stage looking unimpressed, fans took to social media to comment on what happened. One person wrote on X: "Well that was awkward… #maskedsingeruk." A second added: "Wow is Macy Gray really that heartbroken that she's been kicked off Masked Singer".
What exactly happened on The Masked Singer UK?. Days before the episode was aired, it was reported that the show was "thrown into chaos" when a celebrity "stormed off" the stage after being voted out of the competition. At the time, the source said the incident was due to air on Saturday night. An outlet described the celebrity contestant as a "world-renowned star".
A source said that it was "absolutely bonkers," noting that the celebrity with the lower number of votes each week usually takes off their mask shortly after the result. The unmasked contestant then speaks to the panel and performs again, but this time without their mask on.
