The Masked Singer UK viewers watched on Saturday evening as Toad In The Hole was unveiled as American singer Macy Gray. Bear, Pufferfish, Bush, Bear and Toad in the Hole all performed, but, unfortunately, one mystery person had to go home and it was none other than Toad. As per the show's routine, the person behind the costume had to remove their disguise to reveal their identity.
However, before Macy's identity was revealed, she walked off the stage when host Joel Dommett announced the sad news that she had to go home. Fans at home were shocked and, moments later, the star returned to the stage and was revealed to be American singer Macy, who did not look impressed about leaving the reality show.
And now, a source has claimed Macy was simply "blindsided" by being one of the first to leave the The Masked Singer after reaching the final of the US version as Sea Queen in 2023. The 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.".
Speaking to The Sun, they claimed: “It was the shock of it for her as well as the upset and in that moment she had a very raw, human reaction and wanted out. For a professional performer to reach that point shows how badly she felt." The insider added that it took the people backstage a while to 'talk her round'.
The Mirror have reached out to her reps and ITV for comment. 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.".
