The American edition of the popular show returned to screens on Wednesday night, 9 March, with an eventful first episode.
The hit reality series sees stars dress up in outrageous costumes and perform cover songs to a panel of judges who attempt to uncover their identities.
During the season seven premiere, for the first time ever on the show, a contestant’s mask came off by accident.
McTerrier had finished performing and was thanking the panelists – Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlber, and Robin Thicke – when the unfortunate incident occurred. Appearing to lose sight of the stage, McTerrier took a tumble and his enormous, furry head fell off. McTerrier recovered quickly and turned away from the judges.

While McTerrier managed to conceal his identity, the canine drummer was fully unmasked when he was eliminated from the show and revealed to be pastry chef Duff Goldman.
Other contestants on this year’s season include Ram, Lemur, Armadillo, Thingamabob, and Firefly.
You can watch The Masked Singer US on Fox and Hulu.
