The Masked Singer 2020: Jackie O drops Dragonfly spoiler on air
Jackie O Henderson has dropped the first major gaffe of The Masked Singer 2020 on live radio, inadvertently confirming a famous face who is not on the show.
Appearing on The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Tuesday morning, Jackie fielded exactly one question from co-host Kyle Sandilands and newsreader Brooklyn Ross before she cracked, confirming that Sophie Monk is not the face behind the Dragonfly mask.
Sophie was many a fans’ pick for the famous face behind the elaborate Dragonfly mask, but has now been struck from the list of possible names after Jackie’s major stumble.
She let slip the news after Brooklyn Ross theorised on Sophie’s possible part on the show.
“Watching the Dragonfly, it sounded a lot like Sophie Monk, but then I was like, Jackie would have just clicked on that, surely,” he said to the host.
Kyle tried to give Jackie a helping hand, pointing out the live audio can differ vastly from what viewers hear at home.
“So different, so different,” Jackie responded. “Just wait until you hear next week. Wah, nothing like Sophie Monk.”
The awkward spoiler was immediately picked up by the host, who audibly cringed on-air, admitting she was going to be in ‘trouble’ with Channel 10 over the slip.
“Oh, jeez, I've said too much already,” she bemoaned. “I really have to be careful. I'm going to get in so much trouble.”
The Masked Singer hinges on the identity of its star’s being kept under strict wraps, as they perform a hit song weekly to a judging panel who try desperately to guess their identity based off the performance, and clues released every episode.
