Dave Hughes has claimed his ‘personal friend’ Lindsay Lohan upset other panelists on The Masked Singer Australia.
Thursday morning Hughesy, Ed and Erin from 2DAY FMHughes, 53, recalled his time co-hosting The Masked Singer with Lohan, 37, and revealed that the Hollywood star often delayed production.
Hughesy said Lohan often turned a 20-minute break in filming into a 3-hour break on the celebrity singing show.
“There’s a moment where the head falls off and whoever is underneath has to put on makeup,” Dave said.
—Then you have a little break. But Lindsay often made that break last 2 or 3 hours because we couldn’t get her out of her trailer… What is Lindsay doing in the trailer?! the radio host explained, before adding that he was a big fan of The Parent Trap star.

On Thursday morning on 2DAY FM’s Hughesy, Ed & Erin, the 53-year-old was reminiscing about his time co-hosting The Masked Singer with Lohan, 37, even though it often delayed production.
‘I enjoyed Lindsay. But I think it’s fair to say that she upset some of the other judges.
It comes just a day after singer and actress Bette Midler partially blamed Lohan for the cancellation of her comedy.
The Beaches star, 78, had a short-lived sitcom called Bette, which aired for just one season from 2000 to 2001 on CBS, but was canceled due to declining ratings.
Hughesy said the Hollywood star often turned a 20-minute break in filming into a 3-hour break on the celebrity singing show.
The movie star admitted that she regrets doing the show alongside Lohan, who played her daughter.
After the pilot aired, the two-time Oscar nominee claimed that Lohan refused to return.
“(She) decided she didn’t want to do it, or she had other issues to deal with,” Midler recalled on an episode of David Duchovny’s show. Fail better podcast. “Then Lindsay Lohan walked out of the building and I said, ‘Well, what do you do now?’ And the studio didn’t help me. It was extremely chaotic.”
“Lindsay often made that break last 2 or 3 hours because we couldn’t get her out of her trailer… What is Lindsay doing in the trailer?!” the radio host explained, before adding that he was a big fan of The Parent Trap star.
He continued: “If I had been in my right mind, or if I had known that my part of my duties was to stand up and say, ‘This is no use at all, I’m going to sue,’ then I would have done that.”‘
But it seems like I’ve been spoiled somehow for not being able to get to the writer’s room. I couldn’t talk to the showrunner. “I couldn’t be clear,” Hocus Pocus told listeners.
The series followed Midler playing herself in a semi-satirized version of her life.
‘I enjoyed Lindsay. But I think it’s fair to say that she upset some of the other judges,” Dave said. In the photo: Lohan with her husband Bader Shammas.
The first season had 16 episodes and was largely autobiographical.
At the time, Lohan was fresh off the success of her 1998 film The Parent Trap and was just a few years away from being cast in some of her biggest hits, including Freaky Friday (2003) and Mean Girls (2004).
Although it’s unclear if Midler is still bothered by Lohan’s casting, the mother of one posted a sweet throwback of them on set together last week.
“Had a great time filming with the amazing @bettemidler,” Lohan captioned an image with the Broadway legend.
