Vinnie Jones slams The Masked Singer

Vinnie Jones has slammed The Masked Singer Australia, revealing he ‘doesn’t know what he was thinking’ when he signed up for the show. 

The English-Welsh actor and former footballer, 56, told The Kyle and Jackie O show on Tuesday that he clashed with production staff ahead of his performance on Monday’s episode.   

‘You know what, as soon as the cheque clears, then the big stick comes out and they start whacking you on the a**e with it. They started bossing me around,’ he said.

‘It was an out of body experience. I wanted to give a few of them a backhander, little slap, but every time I wanted to do that, they put a cape over my head and I couldn’t see anyone.’

Vinnie added that the most satisfying part of the experience was being paid for his appearance. 

‘The only part of trust that comes into this is when the cheque clears,’ he quipped.
