Imagine a giant toad storming off stage mid-performance—sounds bizarre, right?
That’s exactly what went down on The Masked Singer UK when Macy Gray, the American music legend, left in dramatic fashion after being voted off.
Host Joel Dommett, however, couldn’t help but see the humor in the unexpected moment, calling it “the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”
The Masked Singer’s Surreal Moment
Speaking to Paddy McGuinness on BBC Radio 2, Joel shared his unique perspective on Macy’s exit.
The singer, dressed as a towering toad, was revealed after losing a musical face-off against other quirky characters like Bear, Wolf, and Bush.
According to Joel, Macy’s early departure wasn’t necessarily a bad thing:
“You get the same money and don’t have to do anything else,” he quipped, adding, “This show isn’t about being the best singer.
It’s about the mystery, and once we know who you are, it kind of makes sense to move on.”
Joel humorously emphasized that it’s hard to be upset while dressed as a toad: “In my career, I’ve never seen anything funnier than a 6-foot toad storming off.”
Behind the Scenes: Macy’s Reaction
While Joel was laughing, Macy wasn’t.
Reports suggest she was blindsided and disappointed, especially after reaching the final of the U.S. version of the show in 2023 as the Sea Queen.
Sources revealed the singer was “shellshocked” and had a “raw, human reaction” to her unexpected exit.
Once backstage, Macy reportedly removed her mask, visibly upset, and gave blunt, one-worded responses during the post-reveal interview.
The moment left fans stunned, with many taking to social media to label the incident as “awkward.”
Fans and Judges React
Joel wasn’t the only one finding the humor in the situation.
Judge Maya Jama joined in, sharing a cheeky TikTok captioned, “Me at any inconvenience,” in reference to Macy’s walk-off.
Joel also posted a clip of the incident to Instagram, simply captioning it with “lol.”
Despite the drama, the show continues to thrive.
Joel hinted that this season is “weirder than ever,” with new twists and more freedom for him to embrace the show’s quirky format.
A New Chapter for The Masked Singer
With its unpredictable antics and eccentric costumes, The Masked Singer remains a fan-favorite for Saturday night entertainment.
The next episode airs January 18 on ITV1 and ITVX, promising even more surprises.
Will we see another moment as hilariously unexpected as Macy Gray’s toad tantrum? Only time will tell!
