The past Dancing With the Stars contestant told EW that The Masked Singer was "lightyears different" than the pressure of the ballroom competition. "Dancing With the Stars, it's all you and all eyes on you. Everyone knows it's you, and so they're already picking you apart from the first step you take. With Masked Singer, it's like as long as you go out there and have fun — I mean, some of the best singers have gone home soon because they didn't have fun — so I think it's one of those things where it was definitely just more fun." Ice King is Drake Bell Drake Bell as Ice King.
