Since launching in 2019, The Masked Singer has been a massive hit with fans desperately trying to find out which unseeming celebrity could be hiding behind the hilariously bizarre characters such as Jellyfish and Rubbish.
With a stellar judging panel, made up of legendary presenters Davina McCall and Jonathan Ross, singer Rita Ora and comedian Mo Gilligan, and a perfectly fitting host, Joel Dommett, it seems as though nothing could go wrong.
But the show has seen botched unmaskings and accidental reveals, bikini blunders off-screen and painful injuries that have shocked both viewers and judges, but luckily haven’t distracted too much from the aim of the game.

‘I did not see a head at all. It’s like you turned into a tortoise real quick!’ joked judge Dave Hughes.

The Big Bang Theory star Mayim Bialik suffered a shoe and dress malfunction while sat on the judging panel of The Masked Singer’s spin off show The Masked Dancer.
Owning the mishap on Instagram, Mayim posted a snap of her dress, which had been quickly pinned back together and her patched up heels.
“My dress split open, a blister on my heel got infected so I couldn’t even wear a shoe all day, but I had a blast judging Masked Dancer for FOX with @kenjeong, @paulaabdul, @ashleytisdale, and @brianaustingreen!,” she wrote.
Mayim continued: “What a day. @maskeddancerfox #igottabeme #blisterinthesun #dirtyfoot.”

In one of the show’s off-screen blunders, The Masked Singer US judge Nicole Scherzinger risked a cheeky wardrobe malfunction as she did handstands in the sand during her luxurious getaway to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines with fiancee Thom Evans.
The 44-year-old posted the video to her Instagram, showing off her flexibility in the daring string bikini which almost revealed more than she’d bargained for.
“Balance is not something you find. It’s something you create,” she wrote as the caption.

The Masked Singer character, McTerrier, faced an unfortunate fate when American TV chef Duff Goldman was accidentally revealed to be behind the mask after a wardrobe blunder.
As he thanked panel for their kind words after his performance, McTerrier took a tumble at the edge of the stage. While reaching up to keep the head of his costume on, Duff accidentally pushed it off.
The panicked pastry chef was heard asking, “What do I do? What do I do?” as the panelists tried to hide themselves from the shock revelation.

Speaking to Variety, Duff said: “I sang the whole song and right at the end I have this big howl that I do. And I felt no stage under my foot,”
“You can’t see, you are blind in that costume. And I didn’t realize I was that close to the edge of the stage,” he added.
‘Embarrassing’ malfunction

Davina shared an “embarrassing” wardrobe blunder that she claimed “a lot of people saw” during a walk with her dog.
Sharing the story with her 1.6 million Instagram followers, the 55-year-old explained that she was left “dying” of embarrassment at the thought of people seeing the malfunction.
“I’ve just been on quite a long dog walk and I walked past quite a lot of people. I said hello to literally everybody- you know what I’m like, and my top button of my thing is undone, bra was out and everything!” she said.
McCall captioned the video, “Oh god. No one told me. I’m dying”.

Joel Dommett put on a colourful display while hosting The Masked Singer’s spin-off show, but fans couldn’t help but notice the naughty placement of two of the nebula-themed splashes on his suit.
One distracted fan wrote: “Anyone else really distracted by @joeldommett ‘s ‘blue balls’? #maskeddancer.”
Another quipped: “Am I the only one questioning @joeldommett suit pattern? Blue crotch anyone! #MaskedDancer.”
Joel addressed the mishap on his Instagram, sharing a video of the suit with the caption: “SPACE SUIT – With an accidental blue galaxy situation [laughing emoji]. Someone shouted ‘around the back you can see Uranus’.”
Barely there LBD
Rita Ora, current judge on this year’s series of The Masked Singer, put on a revealing display as she showed off her strappy little black dress, which could easily have become a wardrobe malfunction with the slightest move.
Taking to Instagram, the 32-year-old wowed fans with the unusual criss-cross design of the dress which had large cut outs along the side of the torso, allowing Rita to display her toned abs.
After posting pictures of the skimpy frock, Rita added the caption: “My first week of 2023 pt 1 listening to my new single every day!! I can’t wait for you all to hear it! #youonlyloveme.”
