What is The Masked Singer?

Everything you need to know about the wacky new singing show - by Nadia Elshawarby
  • 19 Sep 2019

We’re just days away from The Masked Singer Australia’s official launch date, but for those of you still scratching your head about Ten’s latest reality TV offering, we’re giving you the low-down on everything you need to know about the wacky singing competition.

The Channel 10 series will see 12 celebrities performing anonymously in elaborate costumes designed by Hwang Jae-geun (including lion, dragon, octopus, monster, wolf, unicorn and prawn costumes) as viewers and a panel of star-studded judges attempt to guess their identity.

Lindsay Lohan will join Dannii Minogue, Jackie O' Henderson and Dave Hughes as celebrity judges, and the show will be hosted by Bachelor star Osher Gusnberg.

Earlier on today, judge Dannii Minogue shed some more light on the secretive new series during an appearance on Nova’s Fitzy & Wippa.

“It’s nuts, and I love crazy, nuts stuff,” Dannii laughed when asked about the new show.

“It’s very hard to explain. When my friends ask me about it, the more I explain, the more confused they are.

The Aussie star went on to say that there will be 12 performances. And while she and her fellow celebrity panel won’t be judging the performers on their singing abilities, they’ll be trying to guess who they are.

“The costumes are hideous. The masks are so incredibly heavy,” said Dannii when asked about the costumes.

“[The concept] is a bit like Dancing With The Stars. You may see a performance and love it even though it’s a footballer with two left feet…so, the personalities come through the costumes.”

Earlier this year, Dannii was hit with rumours that she was embroiled in a bitter feud over pay cheques with fellow judge, Lindsay Lohan.

However, the Aussie star was quick to dismiss the claims, insisting the American former child star is “good fun.”

“She was really cool, she invited all the guessing panel on a night out.”

In fact, the pair have more in common than fans may realise, with Dannii noting that both star’s began their careers in the industry at the tender age of five.

“We both bring an incredible amount of our own baggage to the show,” she laughed.

Dannii even insisted she loved Lindsay’s new song ‘Xanax’.

“It’s awesome! I keep texting her asking her when she’s going to release it.

The Masked Singer airs on Monday, September 23 at 7.30pm on 10 and WIN Network.
