The Masked Singer judge Abbie Chatfield has revealed that producers of the show have blocked her from using one specific – and effective – tactic to guess the contestant’s real identities.
During an appearance on Channel 10’s The Cheap Seats, Chatfield said producers told her to stop using the contestant’s height as a clue to guess who they are.
“I was told I was height-obsessed and to stop obsessing over heights, because it was ruining the fantasy and that it could be someone else,” she explained.
“But I was like, I know how tall Osher is, and I’m going to work back from there – and I was usually right.”
Throughout the series, Chatfield has commonly associated contestants’ height with their personalities. However, when the reality star tried to use this technique for the mirrorball, which she thought was Christina Milian., she was incorrect.
“She’s like very short, 137 centimetres. I googled it!” She declared.
Chatfield joined the judging panel of The Masked Singer this season and it’s been highly speculated that she’s receiving approximately $100,000 for her time on the show.

During an episode of her radio show, Hot Nights with Abbie Chatfield revealed that she knows she is getting paid the least of all four judges.
“I am 100 per cent getting paid the least and I am 100 per cent the last person they asked, but worth it!” she said.
“I love being the smallest name and getting paid the least because I’m just slowly crawling my way to the top of the media pyramid in Australia!”
Chatfield recently told Yahoo! Lifestyle that there’s one celebrity in particular that she hopes to never see on The Masked Singer.
“I narrowly missed having an interaction with him on I’m A Celebrity two years ago when he uploaded that Nazi meme, so I was hoping he wasn’t back,” she said.
“That was kind of the only person that I thought, ‘God I hope it isn’t Pete Evans’.”
