Jackie ‘O’ Henderson says she’s been FIRED from The Masked Singer after being accused of ‘drinking champagne every night’ before filming
Jackie ‘O’ Henderson pretended she’d been fired from The Masked Singer Australia in a hilarious radio prank on Wednesday.
The 46-year-old called up fellow judge Urzila Carlson on The Kyle and Jackie O Show and lied about being given her marching orders by Channel 10.
‘I’m not coming back to The Masked Singer; they’re firing me,’ she told the comedian as part of an Only Lying segment.

‘He just said they needed to change up the panel,’ she said. ‘I haven’t even done anything.’
She added: ‘I was having so much fun on that show. I’m in shock.’
Perhaps figuring out it was a prank call, Urzila suggested that Jackie may have been sacked for ‘drinking champagne every night’ before taping.

The purpose of the prank was to test Urzila’s reaction to news of Jackie being fired, and whether she’d be willing to resign in protest.
It comes after Jackie admitted in July she had almost passed out on the set due to a lack of sleep and low blood sugar.
She told host Osher Günsberg: ‘You guys had to take a 20 minutes because I came so close to fainting and I had to go backstage for 20 minutes.
‘I have never felt that before in my life.’
Osher admitted the cast and crew were ‘all really worried’ about Jackie’s health after her dizzy spell.
‘I wasn’t going to say anything, obviously, but we were all really worried about you. That was a very long day, we’d been on set for like 15 hours,’ he said.

Apologising for delaying production with her health scare, Jackie confessed: ‘I felt so bad, but it just came on.’
‘You know what it was? I’d had no sugar in my body at all and I had this black, tight dress on which was probably cutting off my circulation. And with the lights and everything, I just suddenly felt, ‘Woah! What’s coming over me?”
Jackie has been working as a judge on The Masked Singer since the show’s first season in 2019.
