Comedian Urzila Carlson rumoured to be replacing Lindsay Lohan on The Masked Singer Australia
New Zealand comedian Urzila Carlson has addressed rumours she will replace Lindsay Lohan on the upcoming season of The Masked Singer.
Speaking to Nova 100’s Chrissie, Sam & Browny on Tuesday, the 44-year-old played coy when she was asked about her rumoured new gig.
‘I heard that, I’m sitting in Auckland right now in my PJ pants, Haven’t they already started filming that already, wouldn’t I need to be there?’ she asked.

Radio host Chrissie Swan told Urzila that filming hadn’t started yet.
Urzila responded: ‘Ah, if it was true, I pity those wardrobe ladies because I don’t know if I will fit in Lindsay’s wardrobe and I’ve got nothing flash enough.’
But Nova presenter Sam Pang was convinced the rumour was true, saying: ‘You are the worst liar in the history of the world. This is an absolute certainty.’

Refusing to confirm the speculation, Urzila said: ‘Is it? You and I both know Ed Kavalee is going to be that person filling in for Lindsay and not me.’
The funnywoman then tried to divert the conversation by saying she hadn’t even heard of show until fans started speculating she was joining the cast.
It comes after Channel 10 confirmed American actress Lindsay had been forced to step down from her role as a celebrity guesser due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.
