The Masked Singer has returned to our screens, and viewers are eagerly attempting to decipher the identities of the celebrities hidden behind the elaborate costumes. This year’s series has already revealed Kate Garraway and Prue Leith, but there are still many more famous faces waiting to be unmasked.
Still in the running are Bush, Bear, Wolf, Dressed Crab, Kingfisher, Pufferfish, Snail and Teeth, all of whom remain a mystery. The clues are continuing to pile up, with both viewers and judges – Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan, Jonathan Ross and Maya Jama – striving to correctly identify the characters.
One character causing quite a buzz among fans is Bush, with many believing they’ve cracked the code on who’s behind the costume. Fans took to Reddit to share their theories, focusing on one particular clue that they think reveals Bush’s identity.
“So I think many of us believe it’s Natalie Cassidy, people are talking about the number 9 on the door and it being a reference to inside number 9. ‘She’s not in inside number 9’ no she’s not BUT she is in Psychoville, another (underrated) show by the Inside number 9 boys Reece and Steve,” one observant Masked Singer fan noted.
Another suggested that Natalie, known for her role as Sonia Fowler in EastEnders, appeared in the ninth series of Celebrity Big Brother, which could account for the number nine clue, reports the Mirror.
However, some are convinced that the person in question is Morgana Robinson. One individual noted: “Morgana Robinson, famous for her Natalie Cassidy impression was in an episode of Inside Number 9.
Meanwhile another concurred, stating: “It’s definitely Morgana Robinson. She does a very good Natalie Cassidy impression, was born in Australia (judges are going down the I’m A Celeb route) and she was in an episode of Inside No9.”
Another name being thrown into the mix is Australian actress Jessica Gunning, renowned for her role as Martha in Netflix’s Baby Reindeer.
One Reddit user expressed their certainty, writing: “I’m deadset sure she’s Jessica Gunning from Baby Reindeer. Doctor Who clues line up (Partners in Crime). Aussie clues line up WITH Inside No. 9 (played an Aussie traveller in La Couchette). Thank you. Good night.”
The Masked Singer airs on Saturdays on ITV1 at 7pm
