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. ITV viewers were shocked but 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.

Now a source has claimed that Macy was completely 'blindsided' by being one of the first contestants to leave the UK show after reaching the final of the US version in 2023 which she was disguised as the Sea Queen. Macy was reportedly 'shellshocked' and 'gutted' to be leaving the hit ITV show so early as she enjoyed participating in the American version.

Speaking to The Sun, the insider claimed: '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. '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.'.
