Dave 'Hughesy' Hughes exposes awkward text exchange with fellow Masked Singer judge Mel B ahead of filming the new season: 'You're a d**khead'
Dave 'Hughsey' Hughes has shared an awkward text message exchange with fellow Masked Singer Australia judge Mel B ahead of filming the new season.
Speaking to the Hughesy, Ed & Erin breakfast show on Wednesday, the comedian, 51, revealed that he'd received a brutal response from Mel, 48, after asking the former Spice Girl for advice about his facial hair on Tuesday.
During the exchange, Hughsey asked Mel whether or not he should 'keep or lose the beard', while sending her a photo of his unshaven face.
Mel, who had just arrived in Sydney after a long-haul flight from England, was in no mood for niceties, however.
Reading Mel's response aloud, he said: 'Umm, maybe. But more to the point, ask your wife not me - d**ckhead'.

'That's even better than 'f-off', his co-host Erin Molan joked.
Hughesy signed off the segment with a message directed at his frenemy, exclaiming: 'Thank you Mel B, accurate as always'.
It comes after Hughesy lifted the lid on his love-hate friendship with Mel, who joined The Masked Singer Australia panel last year.

'We've got a new panel. We're actually already filming, and it's hectic! Absolutely hectic. I tell you what - I know why Scary Spice is called Scary Spice,' Hughsey said during an appearance on The Sunday Project in July.
'I love her, and she knows it, but me and her have a relationship going. She told me to [f**k] off in our first meeting'.
When asked why the pair have a tendency to clash, Hughesy said they both have strong personalities.
'Because I've got my own ideas and she has hers, and sometimes they clash. I love her though. And she knows I love her,' he said.
Mel and Hughesy will join returning judges Abbie Chatfield and Chrissie Swan for this year's installment of The Masked Singer Australia.
