She’s known as Australian Idol’s “nice judge,” but Marcia Hines wasn’t smiling when she was on the end of a Channel Nine prank.
Marcia and her daughter Deni were lunching at the Rangoon Racquet Club in Crows Nest when the stunt, part of the new hidden camera show Surprise Surprise Gotcha, unfolded.
“Basically she was in a foul mood and had no sense of humour about the situation,” a program source told The Daily Telegraph. “She just didn’t want to react to what was happening at all.”
Apparently Marcia stormed out of the restaurant when she realised she’d been a victim of the show’s prank.
“She didn’t like being set-up and I don’t think she liked the fact that she didn’t have her hair and make-up done either,” the source added.
Marcia’s camp has asked the network not to air the offending footage, so we may never see what caused this typically patient judge to lose her cool.
