Speaking to the entertainment publication, SowetanLIVE, the Athlone superstar said, “I’m generally a private person and initially I thought this was not my kind of thing. I soon warmed up to the idea of being on the show and realised that this could help me get out of my box and have some fun.
“Singing with the mask on was quite challenging because of the size of my mask. I was strapped with a built-in fan. I was sweating and out of breath most of the time- at some point I felt like I needed to go to the hospital. I know I’m being dramatic but to be honest, I had fun.” he added.
