Macy Gray bombshell over behaviour on The Masked Singer – ‘shows how unhappy she was’
The Masked Singer viewers were lost for words as Toad in the Hole stormed off the stage after being voted off the ITV programme this weekend
The Masked Singer star Macy Gray shocked viewers when she refused to take off her Toad in the Hole mask over the weekend.
Macy, 57, sent fans into a frenzy on Saturday night after she ‘threw a strop’ after being eliminated as Toad in the Hole, with producers reportedly spending nearly an hour convincing the singer to return for her unmasking and final performance. She was reportedly ‘blindsided’ by being voted out so early in the competition after reaching the final in the American version.
Not everything was shown to the audience at home as Macy took off from the stage and refused to return. While a shot of the panel’s shocked faces was aired, the frantic backstage scramble was kept secret. Following the chaos, judge Jonathan Ross was even praised for taking control of the situation.
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.

A TV source said: “It is normal for the celebs to answer some questions for a Q&A sent out by ITV but Macy didn’t do it. This is only second time in history of the show this has happened so it shows how unhappy she was after the show.” When host Joel Dommett announced that Toad in the Hole was going home, Macy didn’t stay around for the customary reveal and instead walked off the stage.
However, it’s not the first time Macy reacted in this manner on a TV competition. When she took part in the Australian version of the programme three years ago, Macy was unmasked as Atlantis but judge Dave ‘Hughesy’ Hughes said she ‘refused to leave’ despite being told it was time to take off her mask and say goodbye.

He told 2Day FM’s Morning Crew: “Macy Gray had such passion for The Masked Singer that when she was told that she had to leave the show, which you saw last night, she refused to leave the show. She said: ‘No, I’m continuing in the show,’ and there had to be a discussion which went for quite a while as to: ‘No, you have to leave.’ She said: ‘No, I’m not leaving.'” Explaining her antics put the programme in jeopardy, he continued: “The thing is, we can’t do the end of the show unless the head comes off.”
Elsewhere during Saturday night’s show, new panellist, Maya Jama said Pufferfish’s performance of Girls Just Want to Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper was “stunning”. Wolf performed Copacabana (At the Copa) by Barry Manilow and special guest Suranne Jones said the famous face behind the mask could be Spandau Ballet’s Tony Hadley, while panellist Davina McCall guessed Duran Duran vocalist Simon Le Bon.
Bear and Toad In The Hole performed again after Wolf, Bush and Pufferfish were saved. Bear performed Stay by The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber, while Toad In The Hole sang It Must Have Been Love by Roxette, with the panellists ultimately choosing to save Bear. Last weekend, Sir Mo Farah was revealed as the celebrity inside the costume portraying host Dommett.
