‘Producers were fielding calls from talent and talent managers who were not happy,’ the source claimed.
Several stars apparently believed that Kitten and Bushranger were the best costumes, and lobbied hard to wear the designs on stage.
Meanwhile, others were supposedly disappointed with their outfits, with complaints being made about Echidna, Puppet and Hammerhead.

Oscar award-winning costume designer Tim Chappel is the creative mind behind the amazing get-ups on The Masked Singer Australia.
Last year, he told Now To Love that his team design all the costumes before all the celebrities are officially cast and from there they are given a choice.
‘It was really interesting because the ones [the celebrities] who got in early had a wider pick but weirdly enough, everybody ended up with exactly the right costume,’ he said of the process last year.
