Dannii Minogue tested negative for Covid-19 after seven dancers on the set of The Masked Singer Australia were found to have the coronavirus and production was shut down on the show.
Filming of the finale of the current second season was shut down on Saturday as the cast and crew went into self-isolation and underwent testing following the outbreak.
Speaking on The Project via phone on Monday, Dannii’s fellow judge Dave Hughes confirmed he and all his fellow panellists’ tests had come back negative.
When asked if he had received his test results, Dave confirmed: “All the panellists, myself, and Osher (Gunsberg, host), we’ve all tested negative thankfully. We’re very grateful that the protocols set up by The Masked Singer group mean that we’ve been able to test negative.
“Our thoughts are with those who have tested positive, some of the cast members who have tested positive, and the dancers.”
Judge Jackie ‘O’ Henderson had earlier announced that her Covid-19 test was negative live on her KIIS FM breakfast show, telling her listeners: “We really feel for [the dancers]. They’re young and they’d be naturally a little scared at the moment. It’s really sad that that happened actually.”
It has yet to be confirmed when production on the show will resume.
