Macy Gray has finally addressed why she stormed off the Masked Singer stage earlier this year.
For a mini recap, the I Try hitmaker appeared on the UK version of the hit ITV show earlier this year as Toad in the Hole.
After just two appearances on the show, Toad in the Hole was sent packing after landing in the bottom two alongside Bear, who was later revealed as British rapper Example.
Host Joel Dommett tried to keep the show going and admitted: “This has never happened before,” after Macy immediately walked off. When she finally returned and revealed herself, the Grammy Award winner appeared visibly upset and annoyed about the situation.
Finally, 10 months later, Macy has explained why she decided to throw a strop for millions to see.
Macy Gray breaks silence on Masked Singer drama
During an appearance on the GRIND 365 podcast, Macy discussed her short appearance on the show. Host Justin Callahan admitted that “everyone freaked out”, which led him to ask: “Are you competitive?”
“Yes!” she replied. “I’m up there, singing my heart out and they picked a guy and the guy couldn’t even sing. It was like: ‘What am I doing here?'”
Justin defended Macy, stating he “didn’t like” that the panel had a feeling she was underneath the costume, making that their reason for voting her off.
“It was so wrong! I was so offended,” Macy added.
The soulful star, who has also appeared on the American and Australian versions, confessed that taking part in the show is not fun. However, she did admit they “pay really well”, making it “hard to say no”.
Macy ‘turned down’ Celebrity Big Brother
Following the ordeal, The Sun later claimed that Macy was set to enter the Celebrity Big Brother house. However, she reportedly opted out.
“Macy’s fury at being voted out as Toad In The Hole earlier this year was such a talking point and bosses thought she would also make a great housemate,” an inside source revealed.
“She’d seemed keen to rewrite her narrative after The Masked Singer drama but in the end decided not to go ahead.”
