Jackie O & Hughesy to join music game show ‘The Masked Singer’
KIIS 106.5‘s Jackie ‘O’ Henderson and Hit Network‘s Dave ‘Hughesy’ Hughes will join an all-star panel for Ten’s new music game show The Masked Singer.
The radio hosts will play the biggest game of guess who, alongside homegrown hitmaker Dannii Minogue and popstar/actress Lindsay Lohan.
The Masked Singer franchise began in South Korea and now has half a billion fans around the world.
The reality show sees 12 celebrities singing beneath bizarre disguises, with Jackie O, Hughesy, Minogue and Lohan tasked with uncovering their identities.
Contestants will range from sportspeople, comedians, models and TV personalities, so they won’t all necessarily be good singers.
Former Hit105 host Osher Gunsberg will act as the show’s host.
“I was really excited by the concept, it’s so unique and like nothing we’ve seen on Australian TV before,” said Jackie.
“I love that everyone can play along at home trying to guess which celebrities are under the mask. I’m also excited for my daughter to see it, she will love it.”
“Never has the phrase ‘thorn between the roses’ been more apt,” added Hughesy.
“I will attempt to give the common man’s view while sitting amongst these goddesses.”
This show was big in Thailand and Korea.
Good seeing Radio stars like Jackie doing TV much better than TV peeps trying to do Radio like Osher, Denyer, Rove etc
Is Hughesy setting up his exit strategy from radio. He does a lot of television.
Rumour is Kate Lambroek is not returning to Hit preferring to holiday in Italy. Good for her.
Who’s show is going to rate best – Trial by Kyle or Jackie’s The Masked Singer ? This will be fun to watch.
Really not a fan of Hughesy to be honest. His voice is just very irritating and his jokes arnt funny.
