The Masked Singer’s Echidna is the first to be revealed – and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson got it right

On Monday night’s episode of The Masked Singer Australia, the Echidna was the first to be revealed. 

Behind the mask was a sportsman with a surprisingly smooth voice – none other than tennis champion Mark Philippoussis. 

Dannii Minogue was very close in her guess, singling out another tennis star, Bernard Tomic, instead.

Jackie ‘O’ Henderson got it right, guessing: ‘I agree that it’s a tennis player, and he’s got a brilliant serve, he’s done modelling. I am locking in Mark Philippoussis.’ 

Mark admitted he was upset to be out so early, seeing as he has a competitive streak.   

‘I was bummed. I’m going to be honest, I am competitive,’ he told host Osher Gunsgerg.

Mark went on to say that he loves music and singing and enjoyed him time on the show.   

‘I mean…who doesn’t love to sing? I love music. It was an incredible adventure and it was, you know, good to do something where you’re uncomfortable,’ he said.  

‘I definitely was uncomfortable in this mask, but it was an absolute pleasure and it was fun. I had some fun,’ he added.
