Gretel has been painting up a storm this year, especially during lockdown, with her followers raving over her skills.

The presenter was the first celebrity contestant to be unmasked on The Masked Singer Australia last year with judge Lindsay Lohan unaware of who Gretel was.

“Oh my God, I don’t believe it, it’s Gretel Killeen!” bellowed host Osher Gunsberg as the homegrown members of the panel cheered.

Lindsay, however, couldn’t hide the fact that she clearly had never heard of the ‘TV host, author, comedian, host of Big Brother, star of the Rocky Horror Show’ before in her life.

“*Mask is on* LiLo: ‘I have no idea! Who is it?’ *Mask comes off* LiLo: ‘I have no idea! Who is it?’” joked another.

Gretel hosted Big Brother from 2001 to 2007 but was replaced in 2008 by KIIS FM's Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson.

While it was rumoured Gretel would return this year for the 2020 reboot, Sonia Kruger took on the role, after previously hosting in 2012.
