The Masked Singer: Axle Whitehead left microphone on using the toilet

The Masked Singer winner Anastacia reveals runner-up Axle Whitehead left his microphone on when he used the toilet


Anastacia was crowned the winner of The Masked Singer Australia on Tuesday night.

And the American pop star, 53, has now revealed an awkward behind-the-scenes detail about second runner-up Axle Whitehead, who was unmasked as the Mullet.

She told Nova’s Ben and Liam on Wednesday that Axle, 40, would leave his microphone on when he relieved himself backstage.

Radio host Ben Harvey asked the I’m Outta Love singer what happened when a performer in full costume needed to use the bathroom.

Anastacia then recounted a ‘great story’ that happened just before she, Axle and runner-up Em Rusciano were to perform a Kylie Minogue song together.

She said: ‘Mullet, Dolly and I are in the box… Now, granted, I just found out who Mullet and Dolly were like just two seconds ago.

‘We’re all waiting to go on and sing our song that we do together… and all of a sudden I think his mic was open and I hear…’ 

TMI! 'We're all waiting to go on and sing our song that we do together... and all of a sudden I think his mic was open and I hear...' she said. Anastacia the seemingly confirmed Axle had been given some sort of cup or bucket to urinate in while inside his costume (pictured)

Co-host Liam Stapleton said: ‘Oh, I see… his mic was on while he was in the toilet?’

‘So I actually heard Mullet take a little something in his costume, and he does not know that I could hear him the whole entire time,’ she said, hinting Axle had been given some sort of cup or bucket to urinate in while inside his costume.

‘He passed it back to someone and said, “I swear I didn’t spill a drop, I swear!” It was the best moment and you are the first people I am telling this story to,’ she giggled. 

Liam jokingly asked: ‘So you heard Axle Whitehead drop a “blind mullet”?’

Anastacia said: ‘I definitely heard something in there that I really wish I didn’t hear.’

She laughed: ‘I’m sorry I can’t tell it to him first, but he’s going to have to hear it… I hope he hears it last.’

Anastacia took out the season three winner’s title of The Masked Singer Australia.

Runner up was former radio host Em Rusciano in the Dolly costume, followed by third placer Axle.
