Joel Dommett has finally addressed the surprising exit of American singer Macy Gray from The Masked Singer UK.
Macy, who was dressed as a giant toad, walked off the stage after being eliminated during Saturday night’s episode, leaving both the audience and the host in disbelief.
Joel, known for his witty commentary, described the moment as the “funniest thing” he had ever witnessed in his career.
Joel Dommett’s Humorous Take on Macy Gray’s Walk-off
Speaking with Paddy McGuinness on BBC Radio 2, Joel couldn’t help but joke about Macy’s exit.
He pointed out that while leaving early might seem disappointing for some, it actually has its perks.
“You get the same money and you don’t have to do anything else,” Joel quipped, adding that Macy, as a well-known artist with a distinct voice, was easily recognizable, making her departure less of a loss.
He also mentioned that contestants who leave early still get paid, making it a “win-win” situation.
Despite the lighthearted comments, Joel emphasized the absurdity of the situation, particularly when Macy stormed off stage dressed as a towering toad.
He admitted it was the funniest thing he had ever seen in his career, joking that it was “hard to be vexed when you’re dressed as a toad.”
Macy Gray’s Unexpected Reaction Stuns Viewers
Macy’s dramatic walk-off, which took place after her unmasking, shocked both the audience and ITV viewers.
Once her giant toad costume head was removed, Macy’s facial expression was far from pleased.
She answered Joel’s questions with brief, one-word responses, making it clear that she wasn’t happy with the outcome.
Fans watching the moment took to social media to express how awkward and uncomfortable the situation felt.
Behind Macy Gray’s Emotional Exit
A source later revealed that Macy was “blindsided” by her early exit, especially after her success on the U.S. version of The Masked Singer in 2023, where she reached the final.
According to the insider, Macy was visibly upset and “shellshocked” by her early elimination, explaining that she had enjoyed her time on the American show.
The moment was so overwhelming that backstage crew had to remove her mask and help her process the situation.
The Masked Singer Continues to Surprise Fans
While Macy’s exit was certainly dramatic, Joel Dommett continued to make light of the situation, sharing a clip of the walk-off on his Instagram with a simple caption: “lol.”
Meanwhile, other judges and hosts have also commented on the evolving oddness of the show, with Joel admitting that The Masked Singer has become “weirder” than ever, with more surprising twists and turns in each episode.
The show is set to return on Saturday, January 18, at 7 pm on ITV1 and ITVX. Fans can expect more surprises and strange moments as the competition continues.
