Ben Shepard on The Masked Singer experience
Now, in a new interview with The Daily Mail, Ben Shephard has revealed that he was having a “midlife crisis” when he agreed to do The Masked Singer.
He told the outlet: “Basically, doing The Masked Singer, I was slap bang in the middle of a midlife crisis. But what was much better than getting a fast car, was to surround myself in a beautiful Conkers costume.”
But it appears the whole situation actually left him feeling quite stressed, as a lot of work had to go into it, causing him to even wake up during the nights.
Ben admitted: “I would wake up in the middle of the night, and I would try to go for a wee. But I would have to sing the song three times before I could go.
“It was so traumatic. I had no sleep. It was relentless and brilliant at the same time. It was this crazy juxtaposition of this incredible rush when it was done. And then the trauma of doing even more tomorrow because we filmed every other day.”
