Masked Singer’s Toad in the Hole revealed as global megastar – after storming off stage

The latest Masked Singer to remove their mask and reveal their identity was Toad in the Hole, but their unmasking was chaotic as they left the stage before they could be revealed

Five more celebrities each took their turn to impress the audience and judges on The Masked Singer on Saturday night.

One contestant had to go home, of course, and as Bear, Pufferfish, Bush, Toad in the Hole and Wolf all sang their hearts out, it was Toad in the Hole who was voted off the show and had to take off their disguise and reveal their true identity. The celebrity turned out to be none other than soul singer Macy Gray.

There was a shocking moment before Toad in the Hole’s identity was revealed, however. When 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. A source who was at the show recording told The Sun: “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 source said that it added “even more” intrigue to the audience finding out who was behind the mask.

The outlet added that one source that said bosses behind-the-scenes worked on encouraging Toad in the Hole to finish the show, whilst host Joel Dommett entertained the audience. The source said that the contestant was “basically gutted” to be leaving the contest “so soon” into the new series.

As usual, during the show the judges had come up with some entertaining suggestions for who this week’s masked singer contestants could be. Bear, who sang the Will Smith song Miami, was suspected to be comic actor Adrian Edmondson, former EastEnder Richard Blackwood or Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe.

Next up was Pufferfish, who sang Cyndi Lauper classic Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. The judges suggested it could be Gwen Stefani or Gillian Anderson, but Jonathan Ross took a gamble and decided it had to be TV’s Gino D’acampo. Their performance was followed by Bush, who sang Jess Glynne’s Hold My Hand, and was suspected to be comic actress Diane Morgan, Rivals star Katherine Parkinson or TV personality Kim Woodburn.

The last performer of the night was Wolf, who sang Copacabana, the Barry Manilow classic hit. The judges decided the singer behind Wolf’s mask could be Richard E Grant, Spandau Ballet’s Tony Hadley or even Duran Duran’s Simon Le Bon.

The judges had been largely convinced that Toad in the Hole was Macy Gray, who sang the classic Boney M hit Sunny on the show, and that was why they decided to send her home rather than Bear, who was the other contestant who had to sing twice to save themselves.

The singers who live to see another show are Bush, Pufferfish and Wolf so their identities, along with saved singer Bear, will remain secret for a while longer.
