The Masked Singer’s Jackie ‘O’ Henderson says filming for the finale was interrupted by a security guard over a noise complaint
The Masked Singer was forced to suspend filming last month after several dancers tested positive to COVID-19.
And judge Jackie ‘O’ Henderson revealed that they were able to remotely film the finale with herself and host Osher Günsberg in a Sydney hotel, while Dave Hughes and Dannii Minogue were in Melbourne and Urzila Carlson was in New Zealand.
But it wasn’t without a hitch, as the radio queen, 45, revealed on the Kyle and Jackie O show on Wednesday.
Oh dear! The Masked Singer judge Jackie ‘O’ Henderson revealed that filming for the finale was interrupted by a security guard over a noise complaint
She explained that two masks had already been revealed and they were getting ready to unmask the final singer, when filming was interrupted at 1.30am.
‘Urzila gets a busting knock on the door, we’re talking “bang, bang, bang!” Urzila’s like, “Oh my god, someone’s at the door, they’re banging on the door!” Jackie said, as reported by news.com.au.
The banging on the door came from security at the Kiwi comedian’s hotel, who warned her about the loud noises coming from her room.
Jackie continued: ‘I said to her, “Why would you be getting a knock on the door at this time?” She said, “Probably because for the last hour and a half I’ve been yelling out, “Take it off, take it off, take it off!”‘
‘Someone’s at the door!’ Jackie explained that filming was interrupted at 1.30am when loud knocking was heard from Urzila’s hotel room in New Zealand
Hilarious: Jackie continued, ‘I was in tears thinking about the people in New Zealand in hotel quarantine hearing some girl on her own at 3.30 in the morning just yelling out these things’. Pictured is Jackie and Urzila
‘I was in tears thinking about the people in New Zealand in hotel quarantine hearing some girl on her own at 3.30 in the morning just yelling out these things,’ the KIIS FM host laughed.
