Radio host Jackie O has today opened up about a secret feud with former The Masked Singer co-star Lindsay Lohan – sparked by her radio interview with one of the celeb contestants from the singing contest.
Her revelation came after co-host Kyle Sandilands this morning shared the news that Lohan had given birth to her first child, a son named Luai.
“Lindsay and I, there were times when it was rough,” Jackie O revealed of her former co-star.
“Rough? I thought you guys got on well?” asked Sandilands.
“We really did … and then Wendell Sailor came on the show,” Jackie explained.

Jackie was referring to rugby great Sailor’s appearance on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, after he was unmasked as a contestant during the first season of The Masked Singer back in 2019.
His appearance on the radio show came as reports circulated that Lohan had caused delays in filming.
“Any time anyone said anything about her that might be negative, I jumped to her defence. I had her back,” Jackie said.
“Wendell came on the show, because he was one of the people under a mask. Lindsay was back home [by this point]. Wendell said a comment alluding to the fact Lindsay had held up production, but it was very off the cuff and then he moved on.

Sailor appeared on The Kyle and Jackie O Show in October 2019 to discuss his stint as a Masked Singer contestant, and vented that his lengthy final day of filming was made even longer thanks to Lohan. His comments made headlines at the time.
“That day I was there from 11.30 in the morning and I think my last performance at the end there where I got the boot was at about 10 o’clock at night,” he said.
“Before my performance, I was at the back and I was waiting to come out. About a minute before I had to perform, they said, ‘Lindsay’s hungry, she’s going to have a break.’
“It was like an hour break!”
Lohan left The Masked Singer’s judging panel after the first season of the show – and later unfollowed all of her fellow judges on social media.
