David Hughes has been left feeling bashful after he mistook Nikki Webster’s voice on The Masked Singer as Olympic skier and former Australian Survivor contestant, Lydia Lassila.
The Australian comedian proclaimed that he was ‘sure’ who was behind the alien mask, despite the fact he has had a close working relationship with the famed Aussie child star before.
When it was revealed the ‘Strawberry Kisses’ singer was the celebrity behind the mask, David Hughes almost couldn’t believe how he missed all the familiar clues, exclaiming: “Nikki was on my TV show, ‘Hughesy We Have a Problem'”.
“I thought you’d get me first,” Nikki the confessed.

Back-tracking, David Hughes claimed that he had initially suspected Nikki but then he “went off track”.
Luckily there is no bad blood between these two, with the dance school owner saying ‘love you!’ to the comedian before being booted from the show.
Last week, people started suspecting it was Nikki Webster underneath the alien mask, with fans pointing out the petite frame and singing style mirror that of the 32-year-old famous singer.
Speaking with the Daily Telegraph, the Sydney 2000 Olympics icon had previously hinted her involvement with the show, coyly telling the publication: “I have seen a bit of talk and a lot of kids at the studio.
“Would I do a reality show like that? I don’t know. I guess it depends … right time, right place, it just depends.”
