Former Nickelodeon Star Unmasked on Masked Singer—Sparks Buzz About Jenny McCarthy’s Love Life
Ice King, one of Nickelodeon's most popular comedic stars, has been exposed on The Masked Singer.
A renowned former child star was booted home on the Fox singing competition series' November 20 edition. Before approaching the stage, the mystery celebrity explained why he felt a unique connection to the musical selections for Miley Cyrus Night.
"Miley and I have a lot in common," he teased viewers and judges in a video package. "We both know the media can be completely uncool. And this year, I've been the subject of a media frenzy. I finally felt ready to tell the world the truth, and I did. "And then immediately regretted it."
Without delving into specifics regarding the latest incident, Ice King expressed his concern about the situation, saying, "I pictured my remarks all over the news and online and freaked out. I urged them to remove my narrative. I didn't want it to operate, but that power was beyond my control."
Despite his initial reluctance to disclose his tragedy publicly, Ice King today sees his honesty as a sign of strength that eventually saved others.
"The night it was released, I was an absolute catastrophe. "Frozen," he added. "But when I realized how many others could connect, I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders. "My story is out there."
And now the actor is prepared to move on.
"I've worked hard to put that chapter behind me, which is what I wanted most," Ice King replied. "Thank you to those of you who are standing with me. Because your support helps me believe that the sky is the limit."
Unfortunately, his cover of Miley's "Midnight Sky" led to his elimination—but not before the judges' last guesses.
Ken stuck with Joe Jonas, Rita Ora went with Joe's fellow former Disney actor Shia LaBeouf, and Robin Thicke went with Cole Sprouse; nevertheless, only Jenny McCarthy properly predicted Drake Bell!
"Nickelodeon family right here," Nick said, before citing Drake's public admission of childhood abuse earlier this year in the shocking documentary Quiet on Set. "We are just truly supportive of that journey, man."
"It's been a long path and incredibly challenging," the Drake & Josh alum stated upon his departure, "but to come here and do something like this and see the love and put smiles back on people's faces, this is why we're artists... It's a thrill to be back on stage.
He had one question for Jenny before saying farewell.
"So my brother, back in the day, was on an episode of Singled Out and he told me he went on a date with you," Drake recalled. "I do not believe it. My brother recounts a lot of stories that you probably don't recall, so just for my sake, say, 'No, it never happened.'"
Jenny answered, "Well, guess what? No, we did not. I apologize. "I had a boyfriend the entire time."
She then leaned over to Ken and said, "Although it could have been true, I don't know."
