It’s another week and yet another judge from The Masked Singer Australia has quit the show. But why are they leaving?

On Saturday, June 4, KIIS FM radio host Jackie O Henderson announced that her time with the unique singing competition had come to an end.

The departure followed in the footsteps of Urzila Carlson and Dannii Minogue, who have also confirmed they will not be returning this year, however, Dave “Hughesy” Hughes seems to be staying put.

Jackie O Henderson Revealed The REAL Reason She Decided To Leave The Masked Singer Australia

Jackie O’s announcement shocked that she was leaving, shocked fans, however, the 47-year-old isn’t moving on to a new project.

Instead, the radio legend has decided to spend time with her daughter, Catalina Mae Henderson, who would be on school holidays at the same time. Aww!

“Filming always coincides with school holidays and after three years of missing out I’ve decided to spend my mid-year radio break holidaying with my daughter whilst she’s still happy to hang out with her mum,” she wrote on Instagram.

Alongside the caption, Jackie O shared a selfie with her Masked Singer judging crew, explaining the show about “singing and dancing prawns, unicorns and an octopus” was the best television experience she’d ever had.

She then went on to add that the show’s judges and host Osher Gunsberg were now her “lifelong friends”.

Where are Masked Singer Australia judges Dannii Minogue and Urzila Carlson headed next?

Dannii told the Herald Sun late last month that her “conflicting schedules” forced her to quit The Masked Singer.

“Unfortunately I won’t be returning,” she said. “I’ve loved every minute working on TMS and will miss my Inspector Minogue role.”

While Dannii will be working in her fashion role with QVC UK, she teased that “with borders opening there will be loads of great surprises” in the upcoming Masked Singer series.

“I’ve loved every minute working on *TMS* and will miss my Inspector Minogue role,” Danni said of leaving. *Source: Instagram.*

Meanwhile, Urzila revealed on KIIS FM’s Kyle and Jackie O Show in May that she wouldn’t be returning to the Masked Singer due to her upcoming comedy tour.

So, is Hughesy gonna hang in there as the only OG judge?
