La Toya Jackson has confessed sister Janet Jackson would never do The Masked Singer because she’s ‘too shy’.

Appearing on Australia’s The Project on Tuesday, the 67-year-old, who was unmasked as Burger Gal on the Aussie edition of the show on Sunday, says Janet won’t be inside any of the costumes any time soon.

La Toya first admitted she’d like to see legendary Janet give the reality show a try, before making the surprising remark.

‘Jan is one of those people who would be too shy to do it,’ La Toya said. ‘I would get a big kick out of it if she did it. But she would be too shy.’

La Toya was questioned on Janet’s shyness, with host Waleed Aly confessing a lot of people would find Janet being ‘shy’ as surprise.

‘It depends on the situation. The majority of the people in our family are extremely, I mean excruciatingly, shy,’ she admitted.

‘However, when you have to perform when you go out on stage [to packed stadiums]. That’s a different story.’

La Toya explained she would also like to see brother Jermaine Jackson also appear on the show, to get ‘loose on his feet’.

The star was later questioned about her use of the nickname ‘Jan’ for Janet, admitting that’s how the Jackson family refer to the iconic hitmaker.

‘That’s all we know her as ”Jan”. we call her Jan, she’s Jan,’ La Toya said, admitting it might be hard for the public to grasp.

La Toya added that her late brother Michael Jackson was called ‘Mike’ by the family.

Reflecting on growing up as a Jackson, La Toya admitted she doesn’t know any different, confessing the worldwide fame is normal to her.

‘I want to say it’s weird. But when you’re in a situation meaning a family you’ve been in all your life, whatever it is, it’s normal to you,’ she said.

‘I don’t know any different. Any other way. This is all I’ve known my life.

‘It’s not weird or strange because this is your life. Our parents told us when we were very young that if you’re not willing to give autographs or smile or be kind to people, then get out of the business. This is the business that you’re in.’

La Toya appeared on the Australian version of The Masked Singer, where she was unveiled as Burger Gal on Monday night.

The Grammy winner managed to fool all the judges except ex Spice Girl, Mel B, who guessed correctly.

While on stage, La Toya admitted she had been on a Jackson family Zoom call, which intrigued both the judges and viewers alike.
