The Masked Singer reveals third ‘character’ to feature on upcoming season and fans say the costume looks ‘disappointing’ and ‘awfully cheap’

The Masked Singer Australia has revealed the third character set to appear on the forthcoming season.

The Echidna made its debut during ad breaks for Bachelor in Paradise on Wednesday night. 

But fans weren’t impressed by the latest reveal, rushing to social media to label the costume ‘disappointing’ and ‘scary’.

Although the elaborate headdress featured long spikes protruding from the mask, what lay underneath was nothing but a simple red T-shirt and black leather jacket. 

But perhaps the most off-putting feature was the creature’s face itself, which featured creepy eyes. 

‘Time for another mask reveal, it’s ECHIDNA,’ Channel 10 posted on Instagram. 

Before teasing: ‘Let this secret celebrity voice pierce your soul when The Masked Singer returns to 10, soon! Who is under the mask?’

‘It looks scary,’ one fan replied in the comments, while another added: ‘I am kinda disappointed by this one.’ 

‘Why are there masks so high quality but the clothes are like awfully cheap looking,’ a third said.  

On Tuesday night, Channel 10 unveiled the full costume of the frill-neck lizard.

Yikes! 'Why are there masks so high quality but the clothes are like awfully cheap looking,' a third said.

But while TV viewers were left wondering who it could be, The Masked Singer’s Instagram accidentally revealed a very specific detail – Frillneck is a man! 

‘He’d stick his neck out for you in a pinch,’ the Instagram post teased, revealing the gender of the second contestant. 

In the footage, a muscular physique strutted down the purple carpet runway, donning leather pants that appeared to have body armour similar to motorbike protective gear. 

Yikes! On Tuesday, the Masked Singer revealed another 'character' who will feature on the upcoming season... but did they give away too much?

But the most eye-catching detail was the elaborate frilled neck, which was wider than the contestant’s shoulders. 

It featured lights sewn into the folds, amplifying the already dramatic costume. 

The Masked Singer is coming soon to Channel Ten
