‘They were really upset,’ said host Joel Dommett. Filming for an episode of The Masked Singer reportedly turned into chaos when an unhappy celebrity contestant stormed off stage without revealing their identity. The ITV gameshow returned last week (4 January) with host Joel Dommett, panellists Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan and a new judge, the Love Island presenter Maya Jama.

The show features celebrities performing while disguised in elaborate costumes, as the panel of judges decipher their real identities based on their voices and a series of clues. An audience member, who was present for a pre-recording of the show in September, has revealed that one star was so disappointed when they got voted off the competition that they stormed off stage and refused to reveal their true identity to the audience.

They told The Sun: “Usually the celeb with the lowest votes takes off their mask and then chats to the panel and sings again.”. “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 reports come after the show’s host Dommett recounted someone “storming off” stage during filming for the new series, but he admitted that he wasn’t sure if the moment would ever make it to screens.
