MASKED Singer judge Maya Jama has poked fun at the moment Macy Gray walked off the stage on Saturday evening’s show, by sharing a playful video.

Maya's response to Macy's exit

Maya, 30, has now taken to her Instagram stories to share the clip of Macy departing the stage. Over the top of it, the meme reads: "Me at any minor inconvenience." During the episode, Maya tried to soften the blow of the elimination by calling her "an icon and an idol" and sharing she used to sing Macy’s songs growing up.

Joel Dommett's take on the situation

Host of the show, Joel Dommett, has also since broken his silence after the scenes played out on the show. Joel spoke to Paddy McGuinness on his BBC Radio Two show, after her ‘diva strop.’ Joel added to Paddy: "The funny thing is, I think it’s a win win scenario on that game – whether you go through to the final it’s a win as you’re winning it."

Macy Gray's reaction and unmasking
