Lindsay Lohan had her debut as a judge on The Masked Singer Australia and the pop singer was understandably lost when it came to guessing Aussie celebrities.
The Mean Girls actress is one of the celebrity judges on the reality singing competition, who alongside singer Dannii Minogue, radio host Jackie O and comedian Dave Hughes, has to try to guess who each singer is behind the mask.
Considering she very much hails from New York it’s amazing she managed to muster any guesses for who was under the masks at all.
There was speculation that Lindsay might struggle with her knowledge of local Australian stars and as expected the first night of the program saw many awkward smiles and some complete confusion.
The highlight came early when a vibrant octopus singing a rendition of Fame pulled off the cephalopod mask to reveal comedian and former host of Australian big brother Gretel Killeen.
If you don’t know who that is, you’re not alone because Lindsay was totally bemused and it was too funny.
‘It’s Gretel Killeen!’ Jackie O shrieked, as Freaky Friday star looked around with an awkward smile.
Viewers were quick to roast Lindsay’s responses, some arguing it was her best acting since The Parent Trap, while others said she seemed completely clueless.
One viewer wrote: ‘That knowing ‘Ooh at the mention of Paulini was the best acting I’ve seen from Lindsay Lohan in years #MaskedSingerAu’
‘Most people: Gretel Killeen?! Lindsay Lohan (tonight and probably most episodes): …eh?’ wrote another.
Lindsay’s co-host Dannii Minogue, who has spent several years living in the UK, told news.com.au that they’d all had to do ‘some study’ prior to filming and that she kept a little glossary of Australian celebs.
‘[Lindsay] definitely did some study, and I have to say, I had to do some study on the years when I moved away overseas. I was thinking “I really need to brush up a little bit,”‘ she said.
‘We all just started off with lists of singers, TV talent, radio talent, sportspeople, reality stars. .. We just tried to get a list of who people could be …. I sat down with friends and asked who they thought could be on the show.’
But Lindsay’s attempts to look shocked at reveals of Australian celebs isn’t the only acting the star has been doing, with reports she has been acting up on set.
A source from the crew of the show told The Sydney Morning Herald: ‘She loves you one minute and the next she will fire you,’ they said. ‘Of course she doesn’t mean it, she likes to throw tantrums but it’s part of the job when you work with Lindsay.’
According to The Daily Mail fellow judge Dave Hughes also joked about Linday’s diva behavior’ on his Hit Network radio show.
‘The discussion was had: “Let’s start, we don’t know how long Lindsay’s going to be,”‘ he said of her lengthy cigarette breaks. ‘We thought, “Maybe she’s not going to come back!”‘
He reportedly went on to say that when she returned, ‘someone came to take notes on [her] behalf.’
