ITV Masked Singer star throws ultimate diva strop and storms off – refusing to reveal identity

The Masked Singer was "thrown into chaos" when a celebrity "stormed off" the stage after being voted out of the competition. The ITV show returned for its new series last weekend, with a host of masked celebrities performing in the launch episodes. The next unmasking however is said to have come after the contestant walked off stage in disappointment over leaving.
The "dramatic scenes" will air on Saturday night's episode when Pufferfish, Bear, Toad in the Hole, Wolf and Bush are set to perform again. The outlet described the celebrity contestant, whose identity has yet to be revealed, 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.
The source added to the Sun: "But instead this character turned around and shuffled off stage, which was hilarious in their costume obviously - but we were all stunned. We knew something was going on because we saw lots of to-ing and fro-ing with crew before the person eventually came back on stage." The source said that it added "even more" intrigue to the audience finding out who was behind the undisclosed mask.
The outlet adds that one source that said bosses behind-the-scenes worked on encouraging the celebrity to finish the show, whilst host Joel Dommett entertained the audience. The source said that the contestant was "basically gutted" to be leaving the contest "so soon" into the new series.
