      Gabrielle Admits Struggles With Panic Attack During 'The Masked Singer' Stint

      by

      ITV

      Having been voted off the British competition show, the ‘Dreams’ singer explains why she is quietly relieved to be unmasked and why it was hard for her to keep her cool inside her Harlequin costume.

      Feb 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Singer Gabrielle is glad she was voted off British TV hit “The Masked Singer” on Saturday, February 6, because she was suffering panic attacks in her costume.
      The “Dreams” singer admits she struggled as the Harlequin and is quietly relieved she didn’t make it to the final.
      “I’m a very nervous performer and I thought by doing this maybe I can go out of my comfort zone,” she said after she was unmasked, revealing that giving birth was easier than appearing on the show.
      “I got really scared, like a big baby,” she told The Mirror. “The mask is heavy. Nothing prepares you for the panic. I was getting panic attacks… I couldn’t breathe. You have to sing a song and your mouth is so dry.”

      “The panic attacks, the heat, the costume… it was all so hard, but it was also incredible,” she added.
      Gabrielle reveals she needed three fans in her costume to keep her cool. “I thought I was doing a great job at masking my voice, but clearly not. You have a vocal coach. They try and say, ‘Can that be a bit less Gabrielle-ish’. For ‘Diamonds’, they wanted me to be posh and for Fast Car they wanted me, not Cockney, but a Lily Allen vibe,” she added.
      “I was like, ‘I can’t do that. It’s just not me!’ But I did try. When I listened to ‘Diamonds’ I thought, ‘I wasn’t meant to sound like that,’ ” she continued. Gabrielle added she also kept her “The Masked Singer” stint a secret from her daughter. “My daughter didn’t know anything about it,” she revealed.

      First off, the three of them still had one last performance each to deliver that night. Crocodile wowed with a dramatic rendition of Journey’s “Open Arms”. He gifted his clue, an angel figurine, to Jenny McCarthy. The panelist joked it was fitting for her as it was “just as plastic.”

      Sun came up last to belt out Brandi Carlile’s “The Story”, showcasing her powerful vocals. Her gift and clue was a mistletoe which she handed to Robin Thicke. Ken Jeong joked as Robin received the gift, which symbolizes romanticism on the holiday season, “You can kiss yourself for hours.”

      Without further ado, host Nick Cannon then announced the third place winner based on the votes by the panelists, studio audience and fans at home, which went to Crocodile. Ken’s first impression guess was Bradley Cooper, but he changed his mind to Nick Lachey, which was Nicole’s first prediction. Nicole than changed her guess to Jordan Knight, which was Robin’s initial pick. Robin himself ultimately went with Backstreet Boys’ Howie Dorough, while Jenny stuck with her initial guess, Howie’s bandmate Nick Carter. Jenny got it right because Croc was revealed to be boybander Nick.
      Moving on, Cannon crowned the season 4 winner. Sun won the Golden Mask Trophy, meaning Mushroon was unmasked next. Jenny, who wrote Maxwell as her first guess, changed to Ne-Yo. Ken went from Justin Timberlake to Pharrell Williams, while Nicole, who initially guessed Donald Glover, changed to Aloe Blacc. Robin agreed with Nicole and discarded his first guess, Billy Porter. Nicole and Robin’s gut was right, because Mushroom was unveiled as the “I Need a Dollar” singer.
      Next, the judges made their final guesses for the person behind Sun. Jenny initially wrote down Demi Lovato as Sun, before she came up with LeAnn Rimes. Nicole agreed with Jenny, after initially thinking it was Katharine McPhee. Robin guessed Katharine after initially writing down Natasha Bedingfield, while Ken replaced his first guess Gwyneth Paltrow with Mandy Moore. Jenny and Nicole were once again right as Sun and this season’s winner was unmasked as “How Do I Live” hitmaker LeAnn.
      “This has been an overwhelming experience,” the 38-year-old singer/actress said of her time on the show. “I didn’t expect this to be this much work, I have to say. I was thinking, ‘I’ll come on, this will be easy, this will be fun.’ And it was a blast!”
