Macy’s onscreen meltdown comes as it’s reported that she was left ‘totally blindsided’ by the result, after she previously reached the final of the US version in 2023.
And while to viewers it may have seemed like Macy returned to the stage moments after storming off, it’s said that it actually took producers nearly an hour to coax her back out – with the scenes being cut from the show.
A source told The Sun: ‘This has never happened on The Masked Singer before.
‘When Macy stormed off stage everyone was frozen in shock but as soon as she reached backstage, crew removed her mask so they could talk her down.
‘Macy was almost shellshocked to start with and was basically gutted to be out so early because she really enjoyed being on the American version – when obviously she did brilliantly – so was totally blindsided.
‘It was the shock of it for her as well as the upset and in that moment she had a very raw, human reaction and wanted out.
‘For a professional performer to reach that point shows how badly she felt.’
The insider added that the show is a ‘bit of fun’ and the vote was ‘no indication of her talent’, however ‘no one could believe’ that the superstar had ‘lost it’ in that way.
