Lindsay Lohan’s chances at conquering Australia are officially over, after a new report claimed the American star has been sensationally dumped from the judging panel of The Masked Singer Australia.
New Idea has revealed that, with news of a second season of Ten’s surprise hit show expected to be announced soon, producers are not planning on inviting the Mean Girls star back onto the show.

“She is being replaced,” came the blunt response from the on-set source.
According to the publication, producers are worried about the negative publicity Lindsay is getting from not knowing the contestants and her rumoured diva demands have drummed up negative publicity for the show.
“She was tricky with demands and had a complete lack of respect for time schedules,” says the source. Instead, a local – most likely Kate Ceberano who is The Lion – is tipped to replace her.
Last week, Lindsay knocked back claims of diva behaviour during an interview on The Kyle and Jackie O Show.
Wendell Sailor, aka the Rhino, insinuated that the Mean Girls star had displayed some diva behaviour during filming.
“There were some things that were said that weren’t a part of what was happening on the show,” Lindsay began.
The 33-year-old noted that Wendell had left the stage momentarily because his costume was hot, during which time she left the set to have dinner.
“None of us had had anything to eat for a very long period of time,” Lindsay explained.
“The audience only had pretzels. Everyone needed to eat real food.”
Jackie O Henderson – who is also a judge alongside Lindsay on The Masked Singer – agreed with the star.
“Yeah, because we’d been gone all day!” the mother-of-one said.
“Twelve hours,” Lindsay said.
“I was like Jackie, do you want me to get up and go tell them that we have to have our thirty-minute break? Because legally we have to have a break.”
“We had 15 minutes to eat!”
“Yeah we never had an hour to eat, mind you,” Jackie added, and mentioned that she was grateful that Lindsay asked for a break because she was too scared to ask.
