Sandra Sully’s performance of Don’t Cha by The Pussycat Dolls on The Masked Singer Australia impressed the nation. But it was the reveal, which showed that the iconic newsreader was behind the mask, that shocked the country.
During a post-elimination interview with Chattr, Sully shared that she had an arsenal of raunchy songs to perform during her time on the show.
If the popular presenter made it through round one, she said that she was planning on performing Made You Look by Meghan Trainor.
“I was given a number of choices [of what to sing] and I really liked The Pussycat Dolls.
“You don’t know when you’re going to get voted out, so you have to try to prepare a couple [of songs].
“I was quite relieved when I got the flick last night because I didn’t have to try to get through another two performances,” she laughed.
Sandra Sully nearly quit The Masked Singer because of performance nerves
Sully admitted that despite her prolific background in television, she was extremely nervous about performing on The Masked Singer.
“I nearly backed out a couple of times because I felt like I just couldn’t do it,” she said. “But my husband got me over the line full credit to my husband Simon.”
“He just kept reminding me that the more negative I was, I was just going to take myself to a negative place. He said to just have fun with it and laugh at yourself and throw caution to the wind. And that’s what I did.”
Sandra Sully was relieved to be eliminated on The Masked Singer.
Sully said that when she discovered she would be the first reveal from her group – and subsequently eliminated from the competition – part of her was relieved.
“Look, If I’m brutally honest, I think the competitive side of me said ‘just one more’, even though I wasn’t sure that I could do it, and get through another song and the rehearsals and laying down voice tracks.
“I would have liked a second go, but then when [the elimination] happened. I was actually relieved it was over. I was seriously torn between both outcomes.
“But after last night, I am really glad it’s over. And I achieved what I wanted to achieve, which was to challenge myself. And surprise myself.”
The Masked Singer Australia continues Monday at 7.30pm on 10 And 10 Play.
