The Masked Singer viewers are convinced that they have figured out one of the show’s mysterious characters is a Netflix celebrity, with speculation fuelled by several clues linked to the character.
Bush burst onto the scene in the second episode of The Masked Singer, delivering a rendition of Wake Up Boo by The Boo Radleys. After gracing the stage twice, fans are piecing together hints that point towards a familiar face from a hit comedy-drama series being behind the mask.
The prevailing theory among viewers is that Kerry Godliman, known for her role in After Life, is the talent behind Bush’s performances. A fan speculated on X, formerly Twitter : “Bush gotta be Kerry Godliman.”
“She got famous in the sitcom Derek, can’t sing, and one of her clues mentioned Life’s Too Short, a show made by Ricky Gervais who she worked with on Derek and After Life! #themaskedsingeruk.”
Another viewer added their voice to the chorus: “I am saying Kerry Godliman for #Bush on #themaskedsingeruk.” A third shared their excitement: “Finally a Kerry Godliman mention!”
“It’s so deeply specific to me and I know it won’t be but if Bush was her I’d die I love her sfm! #TheMaskedSingerUK.” Meanwhile, another asserted: “#Bush is Kerry Godliman! #TheMaskedSinger #TheMaskedSingerUK.”
Kerry Godliman is an actress and comedian who played Lisa Johnson, the deceased spouse of Tony (portrayed by Ricky Gervais), in the widely acclaimed Netflix series After Life, reports the Mirror. She also appeared alongside Ricky in the Channel 4 show Derek, which aired from 2012 to 2014.
Furthermore, Kerry triumphed in the seventh series of Taskmaster, outperforming fellow comedians James Acaster, Phil Wang, Jessica Knappett, and Rhod Gilbert.
