Macy Gray has revealed one of the most challenging moments she had during her time on The Masked Singer Australia.
The singer told KIIS FM’s The Kyle and Jackie O show on Tuesday, wearing the heavy mask on the show was very difficult.
She also joked that the heavy head may have given her ‘brain damage’.
‘They are so heavy and they are heavy on your head. I could have brain damage and I wouldn’t know,’ she told hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O Henderson.
Jackie, who was a judge on the show, agreed adding: ‘I tried on one of those masks backstage and I couldn’t believe how heavy they were.’

One of the show’s judges Dave ‘Hughesy’ Hughes, said at the time Macy had ‘refused to leave’ despite being told it was time to take off her mask and say goodbye.
‘Macy Gray had such passion for The Masked Singer that when she was told that she had to leave the show, which you saw last night, she refused to leave the show,’ the comedian said on 2Day FM’s Morning Crew.
‘She said, “No, I’m continuing in the show,” and there had to be a discussion which went for quite a while as to, “No, you have to leave.” She said, “No, I’m not leaving.”
‘The thing is, we can’t do the end of the show unless the head comes off.’

Co-host Ed Kavalee then said: ‘So, she still had the head on, and they’re saying, “Hey, Macy-slash-Atlantis, we need you to take the head off so you can go.”
‘[And] she’s responding, “No I’m keeping the head on”?’
Fellow anchor Erin Molan then speculated that Macy wanted to stay on the show longer to secure a bigger payday.
‘I don’t know the contractual situation…’ Hughesy responded, adding that Macy took a lot of convincing before she agreed to take her mask off and leave.
