Conrad Sewell is no stranger to reality television. After all, he did come second in the 2023 season of The Masked Singer Australia, performing as “Bouncer”, the macho kangaroo. 

But apparently, he wasn’t exactly a fan of the experience - revealing his true feelings on the matter in a recent chat with The Music. 

“Oh no, that was a very painful experience - The Masked Singer. I hope I don't have to do anything like that again,” Sewell says. “Oh my gosh, dancing around in a kangaroo outfit, are you kidding me? It was awful. It was a good cheque, though.”

This comes in stark contrast to Sewell’s original sentiment towards the show, where he told the judges that he couldn’t wait to explain to his son that he was a contestant on The Masked Singer. 

“It was an emotional rollercoaster backstage,” Sewell told the judges and studio audience. “Everyone was like, you’re really going to go on a journey. They were right! I had a great time.”

Now, it seems his opinions on the experience have soured - though he’s not completely closed off to the idea of making another reality TV appearance.

“I don’t know. We've had a few offers for a few different things. I'd like to get a judging position, you know, a real reality TV show position, not one of the ones that D-grade celebrities have to go on. Like I'd like to do an [Australian] Idol judging thing, or be on The Voice - something with a little bit of credibility would be nice.”

When asked what a “D-grade” celebrity show would be, he laughed. “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!”

And, coincidentally, Sewell has allegedly been approached to appear on the show. “We've definitely gotten offers for that one, but… you know? Anyway, I've been far too honest in this interview.”

Needless to say, Sewell isn’t expected to grace Channel 10’s chart-topping show any time soon. He is, however, currently on tour for the ten-year anniversary of his number one hit, Firestone. Find more details about that here.
