Jackie ‘O’ Henderson reveals the weird way her weight ballooned FIVE KILOS overnight while filming The Masked Singer – before she begged producers to edit her out of Tuesday’s episode
Jackie ‘O’ Henderson’s lack of screen time on Tuesday’s episode of The Masked Singer didn’t go unnoticed – and in fact was intentional.
The 45-year-old begged producers to remove ‘unflattering shots’ of her, after a bizarre incident caused her weight to balloon overnight.
She revealed on The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Wednesday that she gained five kilograms in less than 24 hours after eating a supposedly ‘healthy’ snack, and ‘looked very bloated’ on camera as a result.

Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has revealed the weird way her weight ballooned overnight while filming The Masked Singer – and why she BEGGED producers to edit her out of Tuesday’s episode
Jackie said the shock incident had her struggling to fit into her pre-approved dress as her breasts had ‘gone up two sizes’.
The mother-of-one said she had experienced extreme water retention and bloating due to eating 80 seaweed snacks backstage.
Jackie believed the snacks, which are high in salt, caused her body to balloon in weight overnight.

‘The next day, you wouldn’t believe it, the water retention in my body, I reckon made me put on 5kg overnight,’ she said.
Too late for a costume change, Jackie said she struggled to squeeze into her dress and felt uncomfortable being in the spotlight.
Jackie said her bloated appearance raised eyebrows among her co-stars, but most people were polite and didn’t mention it.

‘I said, “if you could just find some flattering shots maybe, that’d be great”‘: Jackie admitted to requesting ‘unflattering’ frames of herself to be edited out of the episode, where possible
She later requested to be edited out of the episode, where possible.
‘I said, “if you could just find some flattering shots maybe, that’d be great”. Apparently there must not have been many, because I don’t think I was barely seen on the show last night,’ Jackie joked.
Viewers may see less of Jackie on Monday’s upcoming episode, as she was still bloated during filming.
