Macy Gray Revealed as Toad in the Hole After Elimination Walkout on Masked Singer

Macy Gray, the acclaimed US singer, was eliminated from The Masked Singer in a dramatic reveal that took place on January 11, 2025. Unveiled as Toad in the Hole, Gray’s departure from the show was anything but graceful, as she stormed off the set before her identity was revealed.

Toad in the Hole found themselves in the bottom two alongside Bear, after receiving the least votes from the audience. Both contestants had to perform again to plead their case to the panel, which included Davina McCall, Maya Jama, Jonathan Ross, Mo Gilligan, and guest judge Suranne Jones. Ultimately, Toad in the Hole became the third contestant to be voted out.

Following the announcement that Bear was saved, Gray expressed her dissatisfaction by walking off the stage, leaving host Joel Dommett to awkwardly address the audience, admitting it was a first for the show. When she eventually returned, the panel had various guesses about her identity, but both Maya and Suranne were quick to identify her, recognizing her distinct vocal tone. The judges were stunned to discover that the Grammy-winning artist had participated, with Maya revealing her long-time admiration for Gray’s music.

However, Macy’s mood after her unmasking seemed far from celebratory. Throughout her interview with Joel, she offered terse responses, appearing visibly emotional about her exit and seemingly indifferent to the situation.

Viewers took to social media to voice their opinions, with some branding Macy a “diva” for her behavior. Comments included criticisms like, “Why is she such a sore loser?” and “What an embarrassment!” Many felt that her reaction did not align with the fun spirit of the show, especially since she was dressed as a character in a light-hearted competition.

As the dust settled on this unexpected elimination, fans were left wondering about the show’s future eliminations and whether Toad in the Hole’s exit was justified.
