This morning, Mattie suddenly disappeared from the radio studio during a song by Coldplay to return to the microphone in character not much later. Very exceptionally, the radio DJ was given the suit to show it at Qmusic. “It’s a bit like I’m on the film set of my favorite series”, Marieke responds. “I have of course watched you over the past few weeks and I only know this from television.”
Mattie also revealed some secrets from the set The Masked Singer. He is one of the few who can see through his suit properly. “There are other characters and they literally look through two straws, so they really don’t know where they are.” It is also quite hot in the suit. “After the performance, the jury will argue about who you are, it really takes about twenty minutes. Then you are on stage with those lights on and you are warm from the tension. The sweat runs off your forehead in droplets. ”

Mattie also revealed why he ended up in the astronaut suit: it turned out that it was not a free choice. “At a certain point you know that you are participating and then you are waiting for the phone call. In it you hear: you are the astronaut. It looks a bit like an exam result. ” Now that he’s out of the program, he can’t keep the suit. ,,The Masked Singer is broadcast in more than sixty countries. So it could just be that in six months a well-known German will emerge from this suit. ”
The Masked Singer is the TV hit of the moment. Switched last Friday night more than 2.7 million viewers in for the RTL 4 singing program. Those are higher figures than the channel has scored in recent years with the traditional Friday night hit The Voice of Holland.
