The masked singer was thrown into chaos when the celebrity stormed off after being voted off.
The undercover star was apparently so upset at being axed from the ITV show that they initially turned down the chance to reveal their identity and sing one last time.

Dramatic scenes will be shown tomorrow, when Puffer, the Bear, the Frog in the Hole, the Wolf and the Bush will perform.
The Sun chooses not to spoil the guessing game for viewers by exposing the diva, who is a world famous star.
But online sleuths have come up with potential names for five characters, including Jamie Lynn Spears, Michael Sheen, Macy Gray, Marti Pellow and Patrick Stewart.
An audience member told The Sun: “It was absolutely crazy.

“Usually the celebrity with the fewest votes takes off their mask, then talks to the panel and sings again.
“But instead this character turned and walked off stage, which was obviously hilarious in their costume – but we were all stunned.
“We knew something was up because we saw a lot of back-and-forth with the crew before the person finally got back on stage.
“We were even more intrigued to find out who was hiding behind the mask.”
A celebrity has never reacted badly to their exposure in the hit series’ five-year history, with big names including US rapper Ne-Yo and Destiny’s Child star Michelle Williams enjoying their time on the programme.
A show source said bosses were working hard behind the scenes to encourage the star to finish the show while host Joel Dommett, 39, entertained the crowd.
