Masked Singer’s big change after tragedy - news.com.au

WARNING: Masked Singer spoilers below.

With only four contestants left in the competition, Monday’s episode of The Masked Singer saw a brand new “wildcard” enter the show.

And just as soon as he’d entered, singing the DJ Otzi party-starter Hey Baby, the Captain was unmasked and sent packing from the competition. The one-episode wonder was revealed to be...

... former AFL player, now radio host, Brendan Fevola.

Speaking on Melbourne’s 101.9 The Fox’s breakfast show, Fifi, Fev & Nick, the morning after his elimination aired, Fevola revealed that his costume and set had to be changed at the last-minute due to a real-life tragedy.

Fevola’s character was meant to be the “Titanic” - but was hastily changed after the Titan submarine tragedy, in which five people died while attempting to visit the shipwreck in a submersible in June.

“Two days before [filming] the submarine, the Ocean Gate, exploded,” he said, revealing that his original video package included victims of the Titanic screaming “Jaaaaack!” in reference to the 1997 hit movie.

“There was dead bodies and drowning and I was surrounded by boats, and I was the Titanic. So, they couldn’t use that as my costume because it was literally happened a week before,” Fevola revealed.

“They had to change everything, change my name, change everything. The sub exploded and all those people died... it was awful. I didn’t think I was going to be able to do it. The costume was made - I thought, what are they going to do?”

Fevola said after his reveal that while he’d had a great time during his brief time on the show, he wasn’t sure the audience and judges had enjoyed it as much, considering his complete lack of signing talent.

“Man, did you butcher that song royally,” Mel B told him, which Fevola owned: “I can’t sing! I can’t sing, but I was having a good time.”

While judge Dave Hughes scored a rare correct guess in identifying Fevola, the other judges had guessed Captain might be Aussie actor Gynton Grantley, rugby league great Wally Lewis or Jessie’s Girl singer Rick Springfield.

With Captain in and out of the competition in one episode, there remain four contestants left on the show this season: Bouncer and Grim Reaper, who many viewers have guessed since day one are singers Conrad Sewell and Darren Hayes respectively.

Then there’s Snow Fox and Cowgirl, who we guessed at the start of the season could be US Glee star Amber Riley and Aussie drag icon Courtney Act.

Last week saw one of the biggest surprises of the season: That “Burger Gal” was none other than a member of pop music’s royal family, the Jacksons.
