THE MASKED Singer star McTerrier's identity was accidentally revealed during a nightmare wardrobe malfunction.
The contestant – revealed to be TV chef Duff Goldman – stumbled at the edge of the stage and the head of his costume fell off in Wednesday night's explosive season seven premiere.
Duff – disguised as a Scottish terrier – had sung Working for the Weekend by Loverboy to judges Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong and Nicole Scherzinger.
While thanking the panelists after his performance, he took a tumble at the edge of the stage.
As he reached up to keep the head of his costume on, he accidentally pushed it off.
The panicked pastry chef could be heard asking, "What do I do? What do I do?" as the panelists turned away in shock.

A crew member stepped in to save McTerrier, rushing on stage and grabbing the mask head to put it back on his head.
After being voted off, Duff reflected on his wardrobe blunder.
"I sang the whole song and right at the end I have this big howl that I do. And I felt no stage under my foot," the canine character told Variety.
"You can’t see, you are blind in that costume. And I didn’t realize I was that close to the edge of the stage.

"And so when I felt my foot over the edge, I jumped back. And in jostling it too much, my head came off.
"I was like: ‘What do I do?’ And then one of the producers was like: ‘Turn around!’ So I turned around and crouched down and a bunch of people came out and got me and were able to put my head back on.”
The Food Network star had put on a Scottish accent while playing McTerrier in a bid to confuse the judges.
“Well, I was a Scottish Terrier had a kilt on and I was like, maybe I could convince these guys I was Scottish,” he said.
“I was just trying to throw them off. I thought it was pretty good. I thought people would be like, ‘yeah, this guy is definitely Scottish!’”
His efforts paid off, as none of the panelists managed to guess his identity.
Ken thought it was Mike Myers. Jenny guessed Jeff Ross, Nicole opted forEwan McGregor and Robin picked Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
McTerrier is the fifth dog costume to take the stage since The Masked Singer first aired in 2019.
