Neighbours star nearly GAVE AWAY his top secret appearance as The Knight on The Masked Singer

Neighbours star Ryan Moloney has spoken about the moment he nearly gave away his top secret appearance on The Masked Singer. 

The iconic soap star, 42, spoke to TV Reload host Ben Norris on Wednesday, with the pair talking about the time Ben asked him about the reality show. 

Ben said he noticed Ryan momentarily freeze after asking him about his latest reality show on the red carpet at The Logies earlier this year. 

‘There was this look on your face as I was asking it and kind of looked towards whoever the publicist that was near you,’ Ben said. 

Ryan admitted he was already locked-in for the show at that point but disagreed that he gave it away.

‘I went and shot it that following week,’ said Ryan. 

‘I was already locked in,’ Ryan added, while chatting with the podcast host about his role as The Knight.

While Ryan admitted he had lied about being locked in for the show, he said, ‘I think you might have been reading too much into the look.’ 

Ryan, who portrayed the beloved Jarrod ‘Toadfish’ Rebecchi on the soap from 1995 to 2022, added his name was thrown around for a number of different projects. 

The star said he didn’t realise he could choose the songs he performed on the show -after being given ‘Bad Habits’ by Ed Sheeran. 

He said the next song was doing was going to be ‘Super Freak’ by Rick James. 

Ryan said he was disappointed to get out so early as he was starting to get right into performing on the show. 

‘I was really getting into the mojo of it and really enjoy it,’ he said. ‘One of the nicest comments was that it might be James Blunt,’ he added. 

Ryan said he was moving on from Neighbours and would start auditioning again saying he was looking further afield. 

‘We’re [also] building a new house and farm,’ Ryan said.
