Dave Hughes has claimed that his ‘personal friend’ Lindsay Lohan annoyed other panellists on The Masked Singer .
On Thursday morning’s 2DAY FM’s Hughesy, Ed & Erin, Hughes, 53, was reminiscing on his time co-hosting The Masked Singer with Lohan, 37, and revealed the Hollywood star often held up production.
Hughesy said Lohan would often turn a 20 minute break in filming into a 3 hour break on the celebrity singing show.
‘There’s a moment when the head comes off and whoever’s under the head has to get makeup done,’ said Dave.
‘So then you have a little break. But Lindsay often would make that break go for 2 to 3 hours because we couldn’t get her out of her trailer…what’s 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’s 2DAY FM’s Hughesy, Ed & Erin, the 53-year-old was reminiscing on his time co-hosting The Masked Singer with Lohan, 37, even though she often held up production
‘I enjoyed Lindsay. But she annoyed some of the other judges, I think it’s fair to say.’
It comes just a day after singer and actress Bette Midler partially blamed Lohan for her sitcom getting cancelled.
The 78-year-old Beaches star had a short-lived sitcom called Bette, which aired for just one season from 2000 to 2001 on CBS, but was cancelled due to increasingly poor ratings.

The movie star admitted that she regrets doing the show, alongside Lohan, who portrayed her daughter.
After the pilot aired, the two-time Oscar nominee claimed that Lohan refused to come back.
‘[She] decided she didn’t want to do it, or she had other fish to fry,’ Midler recalled on an episode of David Duchovny’s Fail Better podcast. ‘So Lindsay Lohan left the building and I said, “Well, now what do you do?” And the studio didn’t help me. It was extremely chaotic.’
‘Lindsay often would make that break go for 2 to 3 hours because we couldn’t get her out of her trailer…what’s Lindsay doing in the trailer?!’ the radio host explained, before adding that he was a big fan of The Parent Trap star
She continued: ‘If I had been in my right mind, or if I had known that my part of my duties were to stand up and say, “This absolutely will not do, I’m going to sue,’ then I would have done that.”‘
‘But I seem to have been cosseted in some way that I couldn’t get to the writer’s room. I couldn’t speak to the showrunner. I couldn’t make myself clear,’ the Hocus Pocus told listeners.
The series followed Midler playing herself in a semi-satirized version of her life.
‘I enjoyed Lindsay. But she annoyed some of the other judges, I think it’s fair to say,’ Dave said. Pictured: 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 just a few years away from being cast in some of her biggest hits, including Freaky Friday (2003) and Mean Girls (2004).
Although it is unclear if Midler still resents Lohan’s choice, the mother-of-one posted a sweet throwback of them on set together just last week.
‘Had such a blast filming with the incredible @bettemidler,’ Lohan captioned a picture with the Broadway legend.
