Courtney Act - MASKED SINGER - TV Personality

On today’s podcast, I have ‘Courtney Act,’ who has just had their identity reveal on ‘The Masked Singer’. 

If you missed any of ‘Courtney’s’ performance  as ‘Cowgirl’ you can go back and check them out on ‘Ten Play’. I personally loved the full circle moment of ‘Courtney’ singing 'What about me?' which became a huge hit for ‘Shannon Noll’ the year they both stared on' Australian Idol.'  

‘Shane Jenek’ better known for his stage name ‘Courtney Act,’ is an Australian drag queen, singer and television personality. ‘Courtney’ first came to prominence competing on the first season of ‘Australian Idol’ in 2003. After the show,  she went on to signed at ‘BMG Australia’ now known as ‘Sony Music’ and released that iconic single, “Rub Me Wrong", which made a decent splash on the ‘Aria Chats.’ 

There is so much to ‘Courtney’s’ story from ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ to winning ‘Big Brother UK’…. Those dance moves on ‘Dancing with the Stars’.. the LGBTI advocacy in this country and around the world.   There is so much to unpack and somehow ‘Courtney’ touches on everything effortlessly without ever sounding like they are big noting themselves. 

I am a huge fan and this chat was everything I would expect from ‘Shane’ and also so much more.

• I will ask if there were big discussions behind the scenes regarding the reveal and how they chose to reveal ‘Courtney’ and not ‘Shane?’
• We will discuss that ‘Play School’ debacle and how dressing up as a cow is some how more acceptable than a man dressing as a woman! 
• We will find out which of the three judges had met ‘Courtney’ before and if politics is something ‘Shane’ would ever truely consider!

Plus we will get plenty of exclusives from behind the scenes of ‘The Masked.’ Which returns next Monday night on ‘Network Ten’ and if you have fallen behind you can catch up on - on ‘Ten Play.’
