‘I’ve stuffed it already!’ How Katie Noonan was exposed as a contestant on The Masked Singer BEFORE her official reveal
She was unmasked as the sloth on Tuesday night’s episode of The Masked Singer.
But Katie Noonan’s identity on the reality singing series was almost revealed prior to the show’s premiere.
The singer, 43, revealed on Hit Network’s Hughesy & Ed on Wednesday, that she was seated next to co-judge Dannii Minogue and her son Ethan on a flight from Brisbane to Melbourne to begin filming the show.

Katie explained: ‘I got my flight from Brisbane because I live on the Sunshine Coast but that airport is shut.
‘So I went to Brissy to get a flight down and I found myself sitting next to this little boy called Ethan who I then realised was sitting next to his beautiful mother called Dannii Minogue and I was like “Oh s**t, I’ve stuffed it already!”‘
Katie explained Dannii however didn’t notice who she was because they were both wearing masks and didn’t communicate.
‘Luckily our masks were so big that you can’t really recognise anybody anyway. And Ethan is such a sweetie, he was trying to talk to me but I just turned the other way,’ she said.

After rattling off Katie’s list of musical accomplishments, host Osher Günsberg labelled her as ‘one of the greatest voices in the country’.
‘One hundred per cent she is! Breathe is my favourite song!’ added judge Dave Hughes, who was visibly annoyed he hadn’t guessed Katie.
The 49-year-old comedian later added: ‘I’m so embarrassed. One of the best voices Australia’s ever produced. I listen to you all the time.’
Even fellow judge Jackie ‘O’ Henderson admitted she was surprised that none of the show’s panelists had been able to guess correctly.
