Macy Gray's 'childish' behaviour on The Masked Singer has done her 'no favours'

The Masked Singer UK left viewers in shock on Saturday night after Toad In The Hole stormed off stage, before later being unveiled as singer Macy Gray. In dramatic scenes, the I Try icon fled backstage after the judging panel revealed they had opted to save Bear in the sing-off. Host Joel Dommett then quipped: "Toad in the Hole has gone already," before later adding: "What is going on?".
Viewers then watched as the star returned to the stage a few moments later, where she shared her identity and responded with one word answers to the judges. It was later reported that ITV bosses had spent nearly an hour trying to coax Macy back on stage, after she was "totally blindsided" to be one of the first to leave the new series.
Speaking to The Sun, a source revealed that the singer may have been expecting to reach the later stages of the competition, after making the final in the US version in 2023. They said: "This has never happened on The Masked Singer before. "When Macy stormed off stage everyone was frozen in shock but as soon as she reached backstage, crew removed her mask so they could talk her down. Macy was almost shellshocked to start with and was basically gutted to be out so early because she really enjoyed being on the American version - when obviously she did brilliantly - so was totally blindsided.".
And now, it has been revealed that the chaos didn't just end with Macy looking unimpressed when she eventually returned to the stage. A TV insider has told The Mirror that the American singer refused to take part in the post-show interview, which celebrities have done over the years after leaving the show.
